Abstract: A proximity sensor for detecting proximity of a metal, wherein a driving signal is output to a resonant circuit that includes a capacitor connected to a detecting coil, and the proximity of the metal is detected based on a phase shift of freely oscillating waves that are attenuatedly output from the resonant circuit after an output of the driving signal is stopped, the proximity sensor includes a controller that outputs the driving signal to the resonant circuit; and measures a phase shift of oscillating waves that is involved in the proximity of the metal based on the freely oscillating waves that are attenuatedly output from the resonant circuit after the output of the driving signal is stopped.

Abstract: In a coin configuration detection method and a coin identification sensor that magnetically detect the coin configuration, coin configuration detection is enabled to be accurately performed. Moreover, in a coin identification apparatus, the coin identification accuracy is improved. In a coin configuration detection method (coin identification sensor 1) that magnetically detects the configuration of a coin 2 to identify the kind and/or the authenticity of the coin 2, a magnetic flux change in the vicinity of the surface of the coin 2 is detected by a detection coil 7 in which a coil central line is along the surface of the coin 2 and a coil peripheral surface is locally opposed to the surface of the coin 2 while an AC magnetic field along the surface of the coin 2 is generated in the interior of the coin 2 and/or in the surface space of the coin 2. Moreover, the coin identification apparatus identifies the coin 2 based on the detection signal of the coin identification sensor 1.

Abstract: In a valve head of a poppet valve used in an internal combustion engine, a lobe is formed. The lobe has a vertical section of an isosceles triangle which has a vertex in the middle. By pressing the lobe in a bore of a die, the lobe is plastically deformed, so that a valve face is formed at a position which contacts a valve seat. Suitable airtightness is obtained between the valve face and the valve seat.
