Abstract: A magnetic sensor includes an MR element and a support member. The support member has an opposed surface including a first inclined portion, and a bottom surface. In a given cross section, the first inclined portion is inclined at a first angle at a first position, and inclined at a second angle smaller than the first angle at a second position. The absolute value of a curvature of the first inclined portion at the first position is less than the absolute value of the curvature of the first inclined portion at the second position. The MR element is provided on the first inclined portion so that the first edge is located above the first position in a given cross section.

Abstract: A magnetic sensor includes an MR element. The MR element includes a free layer. The free layer has a first surface having a shape that is long in one direction and a second surface located opposite the first surface, and has a thickness that is a dimension in a direction perpendicular to the first surface. The first surface has a first edge and a second edge located at both lateral ends of the first surface. In a given cross section, the thickness at the first edge is smaller than the thickness at a predetermined point on the first surface between the first edge and the second edge.

Abstract: A soft gelatin capsule agent and capsule made with the agent. Gelatin, typically derived from fish sources, and having sol-gel transition temperatures within certain parameters, is formulated with at least one plasticizer and at least one anti-adhesion agent. Another preferred embodiment includes partially pregelatinized starch. The plasticizer may comprise polyols, particularly glycerin, sorbitol, and mixtures thereof. The anti-adhesion agent may comprise starch. Colorants may be optionally added to the mixture. The shell of the capsules manufactured from the agent may have varied water content and may optionally receive a surface coating of dusted maerial, typically starch, and more particularly potato or corn starch, to reduce the tendency of the capsules to stick to one another during storage. The capsules may be filled with a wide range of foodstuffs, medicaments, and other substances.

Abstract: A resin press felt, which is harder than a main portion of a seat pad, deforms by expansion pressure of an airbag pouch body and guides the airbag pouch body in a predetermined direction. The felt pad is disposed on a front side extending portion of a felt that extends toward a door from a flange of a side frame. A door side portion of the resin press felt is in front of the airbag pouch body, and an inside portion of the resin press felt in the vehicle width direction overlaps the flange of the side frame by a predetermined amount.

Abstract: To increase the solubility of acidic medicines a high concentration solvent system to be encapsulated comprisesa) 10-80% by weight acidic medicine,b) 0.1-1.0 mole hydroxide ions for one mole equivalent of said medicine, andc) 1-20% by weight water.included in polyoxyethylene sorbitan fatty acid ester as the solvent.
