Abstract: The set top box (1) includes (i) a positional information acquiring section (18) which acquires positional information indicative of a display position at which a first image is displayed when a TV (2) displays a first image and a second image in an overlapping manner and (ii) a correction section (19) which corrects a display position of one or a plurality of objects included in the second image.

Abstract: A stator includes a stator coil formed of electric wires which include a joined pair of first and second electric wires. The first electric wire has a lead portion led out from the radially inner periphery of a first slot of a stator core and including a crossover part. The crossover part crosses over an axial end face of an end part of the stator coil from the radially inside to the radially outside of the axial end face; the end part protrudes from an axial end face of the stator core. The second electric wire has a lead portion led out from the radially outer periphery of a second slot of the stator core. The lead portions of the electric wires are joined together with a joint formed therebetween. The joint is positioned closer to the axial end face of the stator core than the crossover part is.

Abstract: A stator includes a stator coil that is formed of a plurality of electric wires each being comprised of an electric conductor having a substantially rectangular cross section and an insulating coat covering the electric conductor. The electric wires include a pair of first and second electric wires each having an end portion where the electric conductor is not covered by the insulating coat. Each of the end portions of the two electric wires includes a joined part at a distal end thereof; the joined parts of the end portions are joined together. At least one of the first and second electric wires has a bent part that is bent only once and adjoins the joined part of the end portion of the electric wire. The end portion of the at least one of the first and second electric wires includes at least part of the bent part.

Abstract: The invention provides a rotary electric machine and method of manufacturing same, having a plurality of conductor segments inserted in a plurality of slots of a stator core. The conductor segments are welded together at adjacent connection ends by a welding arc so that the welding arc forms melted portions. The melted portions form vestiges that swell in a circumferential direction.

Abstract: A force generating apparatus having spacings through which magnetic fluxes are traveled, a magnetic circuit including two permanent magnets supplying magnetic fluxes to the spacings and a conductor disposed in the direction perpendicular to the magnetic fluxes in the spacings is comprised of two pair of permanent magnets of the same size, and a member for disposing the two pair of permanent magnets such that magnetic axes thereof are opposed in parallel to each other, wherein a total sum of magnetic moments caused by the two pair of permanent magnets is cancelled out. Therefore, the force generating apparatus can be prevented from producing a harmful torque even if an external magnetic field acts thereon.

Abstract: A magnetic sensor including an annular iron core, an annular hollow bobbin for a primary winding which incorporates therein the annular iron core, the bobbin having a plurality of protruded portions which are arranged along a circumference of the annular bobbin with an equal distance, each of the protruded portions being extended in a direction parallel to a center axis of the annular iron core, the primary winding being wound on the annular bobbin at respective portions between adjacent protruded portions with an equal number of turns, a bobbin for a secondary winding having a positioning means for the primary winding in association with the protruded portions of the bobbin for the primary winding when the bobbins for the primary and secondary windings are assembled, the secondary winding being wound on the bobbin to form more than two pairs of winding groups.
