Abstract: A parking assist system for a vehicle includes a target position setting unit setting a vehicle target parking position on the basis of a coil type and position of a power transmitting unit. When the coil type is a composite coil having a configuration such that an annular coil wound to surround a first axis and a solenoid coil wound to surround a second axis intersecting with the first axis are serially connected, the target position setting unit sets the target parking position such that a center of a power receiving unit mounted on the vehicle is located at a predetermined distance from the first axis along the second axis. The solenoid coil is set at a position with respect to the annular coil such that the first axis extends through a side face center portion of the solenoid coil.

Abstract: A coil unit of a power reception device includes a coil through which electric power output from a power transmission device is received in a contactless manner; and a core around which the coil is wound, The core includes a plate-shaped first core, and a plate-shaped second core disposed so as to face the first core at a distance from the first core. The coil is wound around the first core and the second core so as to extend over the first core and the second core. Consequently, the power reception device and the power transmission device each can be reduced in physical size while an electrical device can be less influenced by an electromagnetic field generated during power transfer.

Abstract: An aluminum brazing sheet has a core material made of an aluminum alloy and a cladding material cladded on at least one side of the core material and made of an aluminum alloy having a potential lower than that of the core material. The cladding material is made of an aluminum alloy consisting essentially of 0.4 to 0.7 mass % of Mg, 0.5 to 1.5 mass % of Si, and 0.4 to 1.2 mass % of Mn, the remainder being Al and unavoidable impurities. Zn in the amount of 6 mass % or less is added in accordance with need. An aluminum brazing sheet having not only high strength but also less pressure adhesion failure and excellent productivity can be obtained.

Abstract: A joined part of an aluminum-coated steel sheet and an aluminum sheet is composed of an intermetallic compound layer which exists in a region in which a part of a coated layer exists before the joining and an aluminum melted and solidified part which also exists on the side of the aluminum sheet to enclose the intermetallic compound layer. The atoms existing on the surface of the aluminum melted and solidified part are intermetallic-bonded with atoms which exist on the surface of the steel sheet except in the region in which the intermetallic compound layer exists seen in the plan view. Further, the area of the intermetallic compound layer is limited to 60% or less of the total area of the joined part at the interface between the aluminum-coated steel sheet and the aluminum sheet. Thus, the area of the aluminum melted and solidified part exceeds 40% of the total area of the joined part. The strong joining having a high fracture energy can be provided at a high efficiency.

Abstract: An Al—Si based brazing material is formed on one surface of a core material, and a cladding material is formed on the other surface of the core material with a cladding ratio of 6 to 30% with respect to an entire thickness thereof.

The cladding material contains 2 to 9 mass % of Zn, 0.3 to 1.8 mass % of Mn and/or 0.04 to 1.2 mass % of Si, and further contains 0.02 to 0.25 mass % of Fe, 0.01 to 0.30 mass % of Cr, 0.005 to 0.15 mass % of Mg, and/or 0.001 to 0.15 mass % of Cu.

Abstract: Zinc powder comprising particles having part or all of their surfaces coated either with copper and/or indium or with silver is used as a battery material or an active material for the negative electrode in a battery. The powder can be used as an anode active material in a secondary battery to achieve a higher discharge capacity and better cycle characteristics.

Abstract: A novel primary or secondary battery whose active material for the negative electrode is composed of metallic gallium, gallium alloys or gallium oxide has first come into the world.Gallium has an electrochemical equivalent of 23.24, which is smaller than those of zinc (32.70) and cadmium (56.21). This indicates that when used as an active material for the negative electrode in batteries, gallium has larger capacity per unit mass than zinc and cadmium by respective factors of ca. 1.4 and 2.4. The potential of the reaction; Ga+6OH.sup.- =GaO.sub.3.sup.3- +3H.sub.2 O+3e.sup.- is obviously less noble than the voltage of hydrogen evolution and this means that a high-potential battery can be made. Due to the high hydrogen overvoltage of gallium, gallium ions in the solution can be precipitated as metallic gallium by electrodeposition. As a further advantage, no dendrite formation occurs during the electrodeposition unlike in the case of zinc.
