Abstract: A steering mechanism is used to navigate the direction of travel of a motor grader. A directional correction input device is manipulatable by an operator. A controller, during automatic control of the steering operation by the steering mechanism, controls the steering mechanism in a manner that the direction of travel is adjustable leftward or rightward through a certain angle based on an operation command inputted through the directional correction input device.

Abstract: A display apparatus includes: a display; a display driver that drives the display such that the display displays in accordance with display data; and a host controller that transfers update display data of one screen to the display driver. The display driver includes a light-emission controller that causes a self-luminous elements to emit light, and a memory that stores the update display data of the one screen. The display driver reads the update display data on the memory after an elapse of a predetermined period of time from a drive end time at which the display controller finishes driving in accordance with the update display data and drives the screen by using the read update display data. The display driver drives the self-luminous elements once or more at a timing when the update display data from the host controller to the display driver is not updated.

Abstract: The present invention provides a core block for a motor and a method for producing the core block, which can be efficiently produced and in which the size of a plastic region with poor properties that is formed on an electromagnetic steel sheet of the core block is reduced. This core block for a motor comprises electromagnetic steel sheets laminated on each other, said core block being obtained by carrying out an edge part forming process using electrical energy or optical energy to form the whole or part of the circumferences of edge parts of the electromagnetic steel sheets of the core block and carrying out press working to punch the electromagnetic steel sheets before or after the edge part forming process that uses electrical energy or optical energy.
