Abstract: There is provided a linear motor that can detect the displacement of a moving member or the inclination of the moving member in a direction in which two windings are opposed to each other and equipment equipped with the linear motor. A linear motor includes: a first armature having an upper winding and a lower winding opposed to the upper winding through a gap in a vertical direction; a moving member having a permanent magnet and enabled to reciprocate in a longitudinal direction with respect to the first armature; and a current detecting unit that detects an electric current carried through the first armature. The upper winding and the lower winding are in parallel connection.

Abstract: A permanent magnet synchronous motor includes at least two series-connected windings for each phase, and is configured to be driven by selecting the windings using a multi-inverter driving device configured to switch between an inverter for low-speed drive and an inverter for high-speed drive. A ratio of an induced voltage constant of at least one group of windings constituting the windings for the high-speed drive and a d-axis inductance is larger than a ratio of an induced voltage constant of all the series-connected windings to the d-axis inductance.

Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a game apparatus that can display an avatar matched to any kind of game in which the avatar participates, without changing clothes or decorations worn by the avatar to new clothes or decorations. The game apparatus specifies display data of items based on attributes set to the items and includes a design table where a correspondence relationship between the attributes and the display data of the items is set. Display data of the player character is generated based on the specified display data of the items, and the player character is displayed on a display screen based on the generated display data of the player character.

Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a game apparatus that can display an avatar matched to any kind of games that the avatar participates, without changing clothes or decorations worn by the avatar to new clothes or decorations. The present invention relates to a game apparatus that can play a plurality of games using a specific player character. The game apparatus includes an item display data specifier that specifies display data of items based on attributes set to the items and a design table where a correspondence relationship between the attributes and the display data of the items is set; a character display data generator that generates display data of the player character based on the specified display data of the items; and a character displayer that displays the player character on a display screen based on the generated display data of the player character.
