Abstract: A method for manufacturing a powder magnetic core, the method including: forming a soft magnetic powder (SMP) layer by putting an SMP having a surface on which an insulating coating film is formed into a space surrounded by a lower punch and a die; forming a pressed powder by compressing the SMP layer in the die by the lower punch and an upper punch; and causing the pressed powder and the die to slide relative to each other and then removing the pressed powder from the die is provided. In forming the SMP layer, a different powder different from the SMP is put into the space before and after the SMP is put into the space and a different powder layer having a spring back rate higher than that of the SMP layer by 0.6-1.1% is formed on upper and lower sides of the SMP layer.

Abstract: A vehicle is configured such that a removable charging apparatus can be attached thereto. An external charging method includes a first charging method and a second charging method different from the first charging method. The first charging method is an external charging method performed while the charging apparatus is not attached to the vehicle. The second charging method is an external charging method performed by activation of the charging apparatus while the charging apparatus is attached to the vehicle. A server includes a processing apparatus and a storage. Tendency information representing a tendency of external charging is stored in the storage. The processing apparatus performs notification processing for notifying a user of recommendation for attachment or removal of the charging apparatus in accordance with the tendency information.
