Abstract: A magnetic sensor includes a substrate including a top surface; an insulating layer disposed on the substrate, the insulating layer including first and second inclined surfaces each inclined with respect to the top surface of the substrate; and an MR element. The MR element is disposed on the first inclined surface or the second inclined surface. The MR element includes a first side surface including a first portion and a second portion, the first portion and the second portion having different angles with respect to the first inclined surface or the second inclined surface.

Abstract: A controller for a vehicle air conditioner which includes a control unit, a fuel cutoff control unit capable of stopping supply of fuel to an engine, an engine rpm detecting unit capable of detecting engine revolutions per minute, and a brake signal detecting unit capable of detecting a brake signal is provided. The control unit is adapted to alter the evaporator temperature setting during fuel cutoff, when a detected change of engine rpm is less than a predetermined value, and brake signal detector does not detect a brake signal.
