  • Publication number: 20180166948
    Abstract: A stator core, a stepper motor and a linear actuator allowing size reduction while maintaining a rotor diameter are provided. A stepper motor 1 comprises a rotor 20 and a stator 30, wherein the stator 30 comprises an A-phase magnetic pole part 33, a B-phase magnetic pole part 34 and a dummy magnetic pole part 38, all of which are disposed to be spaced apart from and opposing the outer circumferential surface of the rotor 20. The dummy magnetic pole part has no winding core part, and the A-phase magnetic pole part 33 and the B-phase magnetic pole part 34, which the stator 30 comprises, are disposed so that the A-phase magnetic pole part 33 and the B-phase magnetic pole part 34 are included within a minimum rectangular area R surrounding the rotor 20 when the stator 30 is viewed from a width direction X, i.e., a direction perpendicular to an axial direction P of the rotor 20.

  • Patent number: 7522161
    Abstract: An image processing device for displaying an image in high quality on color image display using fixed pixels. The image processing device causes a display device making pixels of R, G and B arranged inside each of a plurality of areas on a screen emit light to display a designated color in unit areas. A signal generation circuit determines a pixel of which an arrangement position is not matched with a reference position of the unit area used for reference by a first pixel signal as a target to be interpolated among pixels of R, G and B, generates a second pixel signal which uses the arrangement position of the pixel to be interpolated as a reference on the basis of the first pixel signal.
