  • Publication number: 20240369454
    Abstract: A wheel state determination apparatus includes: a first acceleration acquisition part that sequentially acquires axial accelerations in an axial direction of a wheel, the axial accelerations being detected at predetermined intervals by an acceleration sensor provided in the wheel of a vehicle, and a wheel separation determination part that determines that the possibility of the wheel coming off is high when the axial acceleration acquired by the first acceleration acquisition part is greater than a predetermined determination threshold value.

  • Patent number: 10615327
    Abstract: A monolithic ceramic electronic component includes a ceramic body including a stack of ceramic layers. Inner electrodes are disposed within the ceramic body and include exposed portions at the end surfaces of the ceramic body. A pair of outer electrodes is arranged on the end surfaces of the ceramic body so as to extend from the end surfaces to the main surfaces and side surfaces of the ceramic body. Each of the outer electrodes includes a lower electrode layer provided on the ceramic body, an intermediate electrode layer located on the lower electrode layer and defined by a plated Ni layer, and an upper electrode layer located on the intermediate electrode layer and defined by a plated Pd layer. A thickness of the intermediate electrode layer on the main surfaces and the side surfaces of the ceramic body is larger than a thickness of the intermediate electrode layer on the end surfaces of the ceramic body.
