Abstract: A self-alignment torque correcting apparatus for a vehicle that compensates for a surplus and a shortage of self-alignment torque of the vehicle. The apparatus includes a driving source that confers a driving force to a steering mechanism of the vehicle; a steering angle detecting portion that detects a steering angle of an operating member; a vehicle speed detecting portion that detects a speed of the vehicle; and a self-alignment torque compensating portion that compensates for a surplus and a shortage of self-alignment torque of the vehicle by controlling the driving source based on the steering angle detected by the steering angle detecting portion and the vehicle speed detected by the vehicle speed detecting portion.

Abstract: A method is provided for making a magnetic powder composed principally of cobalt from a mixture solution containing metal salts, such as cobalt salt, and the like, catalysts, such as palladium chloride, and the like, and reducing agents, such as sodium hypophosphite, and the like. Protein, such as albumin or hemoglobin, is added to the mixture solution to promote dispersion of cobalt particles therein. The magnetic powder thus obtained is suitable for use in the production of audio and video tapes.
