Abstract: In a rotating electric machine, a rectifier includes a positive electrode side member including a positive electrode side rectification element connected to a power supply side, and a positive electrode side heat sink to which the rectification element is fixed. The positive electrode side heat sink is disposed to face a non-positive electrode side member having a potential difference with respect to the positive electrode side heat sink with a gap therebetween. An insulating cover provided to cover the rectifier has a wall portion extending in a direction in which the positive electrode side heat sink and the non-positive electrode side member are arranged. The wall portion functions as an easily deformable portion that, when the insulating cover is deformed by an external force, contacts with the non-positive electrode side member and enters the gap between the positive electrode side heat sink and the non-positive electrode side member.

Abstract: A server apparatus, method, and program are provided that are capable of causing information about the real world to be reflected in the virtual world of a game. First, a server apparatus receives a signal including at least one of location information sent from a terminal apparatus or specific point-to-point distance information calculated based on the location information. Next, the server apparatus, based on at least one of the location information or the distance information, calculates a cumulative distance between a plurality of other points through which the terminal apparatus has passed in the real world. Next, the server apparatus sets a reward to be granted to the terminal apparatus in accordance with the cumulative distance. This makes it possible, for example, to cause an online game to be closely correlated with the daily life of the user, and to arouse the interest of users in the online game.
