Abstract: An angular position detection apparatus, which can improve a detection accuracy of the angular position by improving a linearity of an output characteristic with respect to an angular position detection apparatus, and to downsize an outer size thereof. A permanent magnet is fixed to a side surface of a rotor core, which integrally rotates with a detection target object. An inner surface of a cylindrical portion of the rotor core is closely confronted with an outer surface of a stator core. Thus, the angular position detection apparatus is formed as a radial gap type in which magnetic flux is gone through an air gap G1 between the cylindrical portion and the stator core along a radial direction. A magnetic flux detection gap portion is formed at a center portion of the stator core so as to go through toward a diametral direction. A Hall IC is arranged in the magnetic flux detection gap portion. The permanent magnet is magnetized so that lines of magnetic force therein are parallel with each other.

Abstract: A rotation-angle-detection device includes a main housing, a resinous cover for covering an opening of the main housing, a permanent magnet disposed at the main housing to be rotatable in response to rotation of a throttle valve, and a magnetic sensor. The cover is longer in longitudinal direction than in lateral direction, and the magnetic sensor is fixed to the resinous cover. The magnetic sensor is disposed so that the detection direction and the longitudinal direction of the cover cross each other at a right angle.

Abstract: One terminal 3a of the DC motor 3 is connected to the power supply terminal 301, and the other terminal 3b of the DC motor 3 is connected to the ground terminal 302 through the FET 1. The FET 2 is connected between the terminal 3a and terminal 3b of the DC motor 3.

A data display screen has a time display area which displays a succession of sampling times at predetermined time intervals, and a step number display area which displays the numbers of steps which are executed at the sampling times. The data displayed on the data display screen indicates that the steps of a parallel branch section require respective execution times corresponding to different sampling periods, respectively. As a result, it can be seen at a glance which steps determine the execution speed of the entire parallel branch section.
