Abstract: A wireless sensor system is provided with: a wireless terminal device which is driven by electric power stored in a power storage unit and transmits measurement information indicating a result of measurement by a sensor; and a management device which receives the measurement information transmitted from the wireless terminal device.

Abstract: An output voltage is stabilized at a predetermined target voltage by using a charge pump circuit. A first voltage divider that is arranged between an output line to which the output voltage is applied and a feedback line and that generates a first division voltage commensurate with the output voltage and a second voltage divider arranged between the feedback line and the ground and that generates a second division voltage commensurate with the output voltage are provided to generate on the feedback line, as a feedback voltage, a voltage lower than the output voltage by the first division voltage. The second voltage divider includes an N-type particular transistor whose gate receives a reference voltage and whose drain is connected to the feedback line.

Abstract: A vehicle sensor device (1) includes an outer cover (12), a sensor unit (20) that transmits and receives an electromagnetic wave through the outer cover (12) and outputs a signal related to the electromagnetic wave incident on an inner side of the outer cover (12), a heater (30) that is provided in the outer cover (12) and heats a transmission region (AR) of the outer cover (12) through which the electromagnetic wave emitted from the sensor unit (20) passes, and a control unit (CO). The control unit (CO) outputs a detection signal of an object located outside the outer cover (12) based on the signal from the sensor unit (20) in at least a part of a period in which the heater (30) is OFF, and stops outputting of the detection signal in at least a part of a period in which the heater (30) is ON.

Abstract: A formation method of a coating that coats a coated body with the coating includes: generating cylindrical plasma in a vacuum deposition chamber as well as supplying material gas into the vacuum deposition chamber; applying pulse voltage to the coated body; and attaching a shield member that shields an uncoated member to an uncoated part where the coating of the coated body is not formed with separation spacing over a coated part where the coating is to be formed for preventing decrease of hardness of the coating in the coated part.

Abstract: A sliding member has a base material whose surface is at least partially covered with a DLC film, wherein an intermediate layer is interposed between the base material and the DLC film, and the intermediate layer has a multilayer structure obtained by stacking a first Cr layer, a CrN layer and a second Cr layer successively from the side closer to the base material.

Abstract: The lathe comprises: a spindle for holding one end side of an annular workpiece W; a rotation drive mechanism for rotating the spindle; and a holding mechanism 20 for holding the other end side of the workpiece W. The holding mechanism 20 comprises: an inserting member 21 which is arranged to rotate freely and of which distal end is inserted into an interior of the other end side of the workpiece W; a support member 28 which supports the inserting member 21 to rotate freely; a plurality of contact members 23 which are arranged on an outer circumferential surface of the distal end of the inserting member 21 and which outwardly protrude to be in contact with an inner circumferential surface of the workpiece W; and a drive mechanism 30 for driving each of the contact members 23 so as to be brought into contact to each other.
