摘要:
A magnetostrictive torque sensor comprising a first magnetostrictive film, a second magnetostrictive film, and a third magnetostrictive film formed over the entire circumferential periphery of a surface of a rotating shaft. A first sensor coil, a second sensor coil, and a third sensor coil for sensing changes in impedance are provided for the first, second, and third magnetostrictive films, respectively. Signals according to the changes in impedance outputted from the first through third sensor coils are inputted to a torque calculating unit. The torque calculating unit calculates the torque applied to the rotating shaft on the basis of the output signal from the first sensor coil and the output signal from the second sensor coil. Furthermore, the output signals from the first through third sensor coils are compared, and failures in the first magnetostrictive film or the second magnetostrictive film are detected by a failure detector.

The medical apparatus of this invention includes a therapeutic section at least having a blade for treating a living tissue thermally, a heat insulating part for insulating heat conduction from the blade to the main body of the medical apparatus. The therapeutic section and the heat insulating part are preferably provided on a grasping section (for example, a pair of jaws) for grasping the living tissue. It is preferable that the therapeutic section has a shape such that the living tissue and the side surface of the therapeutic section do not contact with each other. It is also preferable that the heat insulating portion has a shape such that the living tissue and the heat insulating portion do not contact with each other.
