Abstract: A method for detecting defects by detecting defects a magneto-optic property of a magneto-optic recording medium. A signal with constant frequency is recorded on a recording layer of the magneto-optic recording medium, and positive and negative side waveforms of the reproduced constant frequency signal obtained through play of the recording medium are integrated separately. The level of each of these integrated values and a reference level are compared, and a level drop of the peak value is detected.

Abstract: In the production of a tunneling probe tip having a sharp point by utilizing electropolishing, the present invention has enabled the production of a platinum tunneling probe tip always produceable in an identical conical form having high point sharpness without scattering in the shape caused by the anisotropy of crystal face with respect to the rate of polishing during polishing of a platinum material through adoption of a two-stage polishing process, which comprises subjecting a platinum tunneling probe tip material to a primary polishing for primary shaping of the tunneling probe tip material into a tunneling probe tip form, and then subjecting the shaped material to a secondary polishing for sharpening of the point with a mixed acid comprising sulfuric acid, nitric acid, and phosphoric acid.

Abstract: In a cruise-control system mounted on an automobile after a cruise-control mode has been established, a microcomputer prevents the electronic fuel-injection system of the automobile from cutting off the supply of fuel to the engine. This prevents the velocity of the automobile from surging when the automobile does down a hill. Another embodiment of a cruise-control system has an electronic fuel-injection system and an actuator that controls the opening of the throttle valve. When the opening decreases to a small opening slightly larger than the opening at which the fuel-injection system stops supplying fuel to the engine, the fuel-injection system maintains the valve at the small opening.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method of making permanent magnets, especially rare-earth ion permanent magnets composed of compacted Fe-B-R type alloy particles.
