Abstract: A magnetic field measuring apparatus for measuring a to-be-measured magnetic field includes a magnetic impedance element with an impedance change rate that changes depending on the to-be-measured magnetic field, a drive signal providing section and a measurement range setting section. The drive signal providing section provides a drive signal to the magnetic impedance element. A measurement range setting section sets a measurement range in which the to-be-measured magnetic field can be measured. A relationship between the to-be-measured magnetic field and the impedance change rate is arranged to change depending on a frequency of the drive signal. The measurement range setting section is arranged to set the measurement range by setting the frequency.

Abstract: A pattern printing apparatus comprising an ink output section including a nozzle that drops ink and a heating section that heats a preheating target region; a driving section that moves the substrate relative to the ink output section; and a control section that controls the driving section. The control section causes the substrate to move relative to the ink output section such that the preheating target region is positioned in a progression path of the drawing target region and causes a pattern formed by the ink to be drawn, and when switching an extension direction of the pattern being drawn, the control section causes the preheating target region to move to an end portion of the pattern drawn before the switching and causing the preheating target region to be heated.
