Abstract: A film thickness measuring device including: a terahertz wave generator; a prism that has an entrance surface, an abutment surface capable of abutting a surface of a sample including a first film on a side where the first film is formed, and an emission surface; a terahertz wave detector that detects an S-polarization component and a P-polarization component of a reflected wave from the sample, emitted from the emission surface of the prism; and a control section configured to determine a thickness of the first film formed in the sample, based on a difference between a time waveform of the S-polarization component of the reflected wave and a time waveform of the P-polarization component of the reflected wave.

Abstract: A suspension apparatus includes a single-phase linear motor, a state detecting sensor and a controlling portion. The single-phase liner motor includes a coil and a permanent magnet. The coil is adapted to be provided at one of a vehicle body-side member and a wheel-side member of a vehicle. The permanent magnet is adapted to be provided at the other of the vehicle body-side member and the wheel-side member of the vehicle. The state detecting sensor detects a relative moving state between the vehicle body-side member and the wheel-side member and an absolute moving state of the vehicle body-side member. The controlling portion controls a load outputted by the single-phase linear motor on the basis of a result detected by the state detecting sensor.

Abstract: An apparatus for monitoring surroundings of a vehicle includes an imaging apparatus provided at the vehicle, a plurality of ultrasonic sensors provided around the imaging apparatus as a unit with the imaging apparatus, an object-position-detecting apparatus for detecting a position of an object appearing within an imaging range of the imaging apparatus on the basis of outputs of the plurality of the ultrasonic sensors and a display-controlling apparatus for performing a predetermined image processing for an image obtained by the imaging apparatus at a position corresponding to the position of the object detected by the object-position-detecting apparatus.
