Abstract: A vehicle steering device includes an electric motor; a steering angle sensor; a steering torque sensor; a wheel speed sensor; a cruise controller; and a wheel-alignment support controller configured to compute an anti-one-side pull current value fed to the electric motor for suppressing a one-side pull behavior of a vehicle. The wheel-alignment support controller calculates, according to an integrated torque value, the amount of displacement of an anti-one-side pull steering angle value that corresponds to a midpoint steering angle of a steering system for suppressing the one-side pull behavior of the vehicle. When the vehicle is under cruise control and the vehicle speed is below a first threshold Vth1, the wheel-alignment support controller makes the amount of displacement of the anti-one-side pull steering angle value smaller than that obtained when the vehicle speed is equal to or above the first threshold Vth1.

Abstract: An automatic tuning assist circuit is coupled with a transmission antenna. The transmission antenna injects a first correction current into, or otherwise draws the first correction current from, the transmission antenna. In the first state, the first auxiliary coil is coupled with the transmission antenna. In this state, the first correction current IA, which corresponds to a current that flows through the first auxiliary coil, is injected into or drawn from the transmission antenna. In the second state, the first auxiliary coil is decoupled from the transmission antenna. In this state, the current that flows through the first auxiliary coil flows through a current path which is independent of the transmission antenna. The state is switched between the first state and the second state with the same frequency as that of the driving voltage.

Abstract: There is disclosed an NMR (nuclear magnetic resonance) spinner having a turbine structure and a rotor whose spinning rate can be increased. A vortical channel (44) is formed around the rotor (12). The vortical channel (44) consists of a chamber (66) and a nozzle array (68) mounted inside the chamber (66). The chamber (66) has a cross-sectional area that decreases in an upstream to downstream direction. The cross-sectional area of each nozzle also decreases in an upstream to downstream direction. Gas is introduced into the chamber (66), creating a rotating flow (76, 78, 80) in the chamber (66). Plural inwardly swirling streams are created from the inside of the rotating flow. The inwardly swirling streams are ejected from the exits of the nozzles. This results in jet streams, which are blown against the impeller of the rotor, spinning the rotor at high speed.
