  • Publication number: 20240102811
    Abstract: A first input to a mobile device indicates a first navigation destination at a first level of specificity. The mobile device initiates navigation towards a first location corresponding to the first navigation destination. While navigation towards the first location corresponding to the first navigation destination is ongoing and before reaching the first location, in accordance with a determination that one or more first criteria are satisfied, the mobile device prompts for an input for determination a second location corresponding to a second navigation destination with a second level of specificity, the second level of specificity more specific than the first level of specificity. The mobile device receives a second input in response to the prompt. In accordance with a determination that the second input satisfies one or more second criteria, the mobile device initiates navigation towards the second location corresponding to the second navigation destination.

  • Patent number: 7163591
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method of preparing a micro-structured powder for bonded magnets having high coercivity, which is advantageous in terms of low preparation costs by recycling magnet scraps, simplified mass production, minimal environmental contamination by such a recycling process, and the preparation of stable anisotropic powders having high coercivity. Further, a magnet powder prepared by the above method is provided. The current method is characterized in that R—Fe—B type anisotropic sintered magnets or scraps thereof are crushed to prepare 50–500 ?m sized magnet powders, which are then mixed with 1–10 wt % of rare earth fluoride (RF3) powders and thermally treated at high temperatures (500–1100° C.) in a vacuum or an inert gas, to cause the change of matrix-near surface and grain boundary of the powders.

  • Patent number: 5282904
    Abstract: A permanent magnet of the neodymium-iron-boron type having improved corrosion resistance imparted by a combination of oxygen, carbon and nitrogen. Oxygen is provided in an amount equal to or greater than 0.6 weight percent in combination with carbon of 0.05-0.15 weight percent and nitrogen 0.15 weight percent maximum. Preferably, oxygen is within the range of 0.6-1.2% with carbon of 0.05-0.1% and nitrogen 0.02-0.15 weight percent or more preferably 0.04-0.08 weight percent. The magnet may be heated in an argon atmosphere and thereafter quenched in an atmosphere of either argon or nitrogen to further improve the corrosion resistance of the magnet.

  • Patent number: 5127970
    Abstract: A method for improving the magnetic properties, particulaarly intrinsic coercivity, of particles of a permanent magnet alloy comprising a rare earth element, iron and boron. The method includes subjecting particles to a hydrogen atmosphere for a time at elevated temperature sufficient to hydride the particles. The hydrogen atmosphere is removed while maintaining the particles at the elevated temperature. Thereafter, while maintaining the particles at elevated temperature, the particles are subjected to a vacuum atmosphere for a time at the maintained elevated temperature sufficient to dehydride the particles. Thereafter, while maintaining the particles at the elevated temperature, they are again subjected to a hydrogen atmosphere for a time at the maintained elevated temperature sufficient to hydride the particles. The hydrogen atmosphere is removed while maintaining the particles at the elevated temperature.
