Abstract:
This DC brushless motor (1) is provided with a stator (2) that has exciting coils (31, 32) and a rotor (4) that is positioned coaxially to the stator (2). The stator (2) has a quasi-E-shaped cross-section in the axial direction at the radius part; a plurality of protrusions (212, 222, 232) serving as magnetic poles are formed on the respective 3 parallel sections (211, 221, 231) of the E in the same number in the circumferential direction; and of the magnetic poles (212, 222, 232) formed at the 3 parallel sections (211, 221, 231) of the E, the top and the bottom magnetic poles (212, 232) are respectively positioned so as to be shifted in the opposite directions in the circumferential direction with respect to the center line of the middle magnetic pole (222). Changes in the magnetic resistance between the stator (2) and the rotor (4), which are caused by the flow of a magnetic flux generated around the exciting coils (31, 32), are utilized as a driving force. The DC brushless motor (1) configured in said manner exhibits excellent space efficiency at low cost and is less affected by temperature changes.

Scorodite-type iron-arsenic compound particles in which the particle surface layer part comprise an iron-rich layer having an Fe/As molar ratio of at least 1.24. The particles can be obtained in a reaction process of feeding an oxygen-containing gas to an aqueous solution containing an arsenic(V) ion and an iron(II) ion to precipitate a scorodite-type iron-arsenic compound crystal at a pH of at most 2, in which an oxidizing agent is further added to the liquid before the end of the reaction (treatment A). The particles may also be obtained by a method comprising keeping a scorodite-type iron-arsenic compound particle of good crystallinity in contact with an iron ion-containing aqueous solution having a controlled pH of from 2 to 9 at 0 to 90° C. (treatment B). The scorodite-type iron-arsenic particles have good filterability and excellent arsenic release-preventing effect.
Abstract:
A vehicle includes a contact-position-dependent type operational intention determining unit that detects a change in posture of a rider using posture sensors for a backrest disposed in areas of a backrest with which left and right shoulder blades of the rider come into contact, and thereby determines whether there is an operational intention of the rider; and a left-right amount-of-change comparison type turn intention determining unit that determines, only when it is determined that there is an operational intention, whether there is a left or right turn intention of the rider from a difference between sensor output values located left-right symmetrically.

Abstract:
Provided is a coated-surface sliding part having excellent adhesion of a hard coating, and a method for producing the same part. The coated-surface sliding part is a sliding part wherein a hard coating is formed by physical deposition on the surface of a base material formed from, by mass percent, C 0.5 to 0.8%, Si 0.1 to 1.5%, Mn 0.2 to 1.0%, Cr 8.0 to 13.5%, Mo and/or W 0.5 to 4.0% in terms of (Mo+ 1/2 W), and N 0.01 to 0.1%, with the remainder being Fe and impurities. The physically deposited coating is a titanium metal coating further covered by a diamond-like carbon coating. The method for producing a coated-surface part involves sputtering in order to apply the physically deposited coating, which consists of the titanium metal coating and then the diamond-like carbon coating which forms the surface layer, to the surface of the base material having the aforementioned composition. The base material is preferably subjected to argon gas bombardment prior to application of the physically deposited coating.
