Abstract: A method of producing a magnetic powder includes performing a phosphorus treatment to obtain a phosphorus compound and a rare earth-iron-nitrogen-based magnetic powder, the phosphorus treatment including adding an inorganic acid to a slurry containing: a rare earth-iron-nitrogen-based magnetic powder containing R, Fe, and N, where R represents at least one of rare earth elements selected from the group consisting of Y, Ce, Pr, Nd, Gd, Tb, Dy, Ho, Er, Tm, Lu, and Sm, and if R contains Sm, Sm constitutes less than 50 atm % of a total R atomic content; water; and a phosphorus-containing substance.

Abstract: The above measurement device acquires output data from a sensor unit for detecting surrounding feature, and extracts, from the output data, data corresponding to detection result in a predetermined range in a predetermined positional relation with an own position. The predetermined range is determined in accordance with accuracy of the own position. Then, the measurement device executes predetermined processing based on the extracted data.

Abstract: A self-position estimation device is mounted on a mobile body and acquires a predicted position of the mobile body. Additionally, the self-position estimation device calculates a difference value between a predicted position of an end point of a lane division line that is obtained based on information on the end point of the lane division line acquired from map information and a measured position of the end point of the lane division line measured in such a manner that a measurement unit mounted on the mobile body performs scanning with a light in a predetermined direction. The self-position estimation device estimates a self-position of the mobile body by correcting the predicted position with a value obtained by multiplying the difference value by a coefficient. Further, the self-position estimation device corrects the coefficient based on an interval of scanning positions of the measurement unit at a position where the end point of the lane division line is detected.

Abstract: A switch circuit connects an external inspection device to a first internal circuit, a second internal circuit, or both the first internal circuit and the second internal circuit in a state where the external inspection device is connected to an external terminal. A switch control circuit selects a connection destination of the external inspection device in the switch circuit based on a test setting signal from outside.

Abstract: The measurement device acquires output data from a sensor unit for detecting road surface lines around, and determines a predetermined range based on an own position and positional information of broken-line type road surface lines. Then, the measurement device extract, from the output data, data corresponding to detection result of the predetermined range, and executes predetermined processing based on the extracted data.

Abstract: In an electronic apparatus made up of a main body and an external output unit to be integrally coupled with the main body and adapted such that an electric connection between the two units is provided by the coupling, an electrical control system is disclosed which comprises a control knob disposed on one side of the main body at the joining position, an adjustment knob accessible from the outside when the units are coupled and function to cause the control knob to operate in conjunction therewith, and a transmission mechanism for transmitting an operating force applied to the adjustment knob of the output unit to the control knob of the main body when these units are coupled, whereby control of the electrical connection of the main body is provided from the outside when these units are coupled.

Abstract: A module mounting system for an electronic device capable of mounting a pair of electronic components each including a locking groove. The mounting system includes an operation switch having an engaging member to be engaged with the locking groove in each of the electronic components mounted on the electronic device. The operation switch provides a locking position to make the engaging member fit in the locking grooves simultaneously and a plurality of unlocking positions for unlocking one of the components selectively. The operation switch shuts off power supply to the electronic device when set at any of the unlocking positions, or supplies power to the electronic device when set at the locking position.
