Abstract: A torsion bar of a torque detection device converts torque applied between an input shaft and an output shaft to a torsional displacement. A pair of yokes is secured to the output shaft, and forms a magnetic circuit in a magnetic field of a multipolar magnet secured to the input shaft. A magnetic flux guide member has a main body facing the yoke to guide magnetic flux of the magnetic circuit. A magnetic sensor is placed at an extension, and detects magnetic flux guided by the magnetic flux guide member. The magnetic flux guide member is configured to allow magnetic permeance per unit area between the magnetic flux guide member and the yoke to be greater at a location in the main body from which the extension is branched, than at a circumferential end portion of the main body.

Abstract: A detection device includes a conductive member, a facing member, and a sensor portion. The conductive member is provided to be conductive to a grounded member having a ground potential. The sensor portion includes a sensor element, a sensor main body, and a grounded terminal. The sensor element is disposed in a sensor placement region which is located between the conductive member and the facing member and in which a distance between the conductive member and the facing member is shortest. The conductive member is provided to be conductive to the grounded terminal or a grounded wiring portion connected to the grounded terminal in a conductive region different from the sensor placement region. Accordingly, static electricity and noise escape to the grounded member without passing through the sensor main body. Therefore, damage to and malfunction of the sensor are restricted.

Abstract: A plasma display apparatus (10) is provided with: a control device 100; a PDP 900 including a display panel device 200 and a driving device 400; and a functional device 500. In operation of the PDP 900, an X driving device 420 and a Y driving device 430 of the driving device 400 are drive-controlled by the control device 100, and sustain pulse voltages are applied to sustain electrodes 213 of the display panel device 200. This generates unnecessary radiant electromagnetic wave near the display panel device 200 and the driving device 400. A coil 610 of a power regenerating apparatus 600 is provided such that the core direction of an air core portion 611b is perpendicular to the radiant direction of the unnecessary radiant electromagnetic wave, and the coil converts the unnecessary radiant electromagnetic wave to an AC voltage. The AC voltage is converted to a DC voltage by a rectifying device 620 and it is regenerated as DC power for the functional device 500 through a power supply line.
