Abstract: A case with a connector integrally formed with a resin connector, and can be manufactured with a small number of processes is provided. The connector case includes a housing, a resin connector, and a ground terminal extending along an outer periphery of the connector. A terminal-side fixing portion extending backward from the ground terminal is crimped to or pressed over a housing-side fixing portion. When molds are closed after the housing and the ground terminal are placed in the molds for injection molding of the resin connector, a pressing portion formed on the mold presses the terminal-side fixing portion against the housing-side fixing portion to crimp or press the terminal-side fixing portion to or over the housing-side fixing portion. As a result, in the process for the injection molding of the connector, the ground terminal is fixed to the housing at the same time. The connector case with the ground terminal fixed to the housing can be manufactured in a small number of processes.

Abstract: It is an object of the present invention to provide a game apparatus allowing for an accurate determination of a collision of a player's moving object traveling at high speed with an obstacle. A relative coordinate calculation section 21 calculates the relative coordinates of another movable object by using the position of the player's movable object as the origin. A relative speed calculation section 22 calculates the relative speed of the player's moving object and the other movable object. If the relative speed exceeds a predetermined value, a hit check position decision section 23 equally divides a distance traveled by the player's moving object at the relative speed in {fraction (1/60)} seconds into segments, each of the segments not exceeding the length L of the player's moving object, to determine the number of hit checks, and sets one or more hit check positions between the player's moving object and the other movable object on their trajectory.
