    Abstract: An optical sensor, an optical encoder, a torque detection apparatus, and an electric power steering apparatus less affected by fluctuations in the amount of detected light and with an improved resolution are provided. The optical sensor includes a first polarizing layer that splits incident light to light with a first polarization direction, a first photoreceiver that receives first polarized light split by the first polarizing layer, a second polarizing layer that splits the incident light to light with a second polarization direction, and a second photoreceiver that receives second polarized light split by the second polarizing layer. The first photoreceiver and the second photoreceiver are positioned alternatingly and spaced uniformly with each other.

    Abstract: A collection pipette that collects a microscopic object includes a first tube part, a second tube part connected to an end of the first tube part, and a third tube part connected to the other end of the first tube part. The longitudinal direction of the third tube part intersects with the longitudinal direction of the first tube part, and is parallel to the longitudinal direction of the second tube part. For example, the length in the longitudinal direction of the third tube part is shorter than the length in the longitudinal direction of the first tube part.

    Abstract: Provided are: a joining structure capable of suitably obtaining joining strength between components which compose the joining structure; and a joining method thereof. For this purpose, a joining structure (1) includes: a shaft member (10); and a thin-walled cylindrical member (20) that fits an inner circumferential surface thereof to an outer circumferential surface of the shaft member (10). The thin-walled cylindrical member (20) has: a first crimped portion (21), in which an axially intermediate portion is reduced in diameter in a radial direction, and is crimped to the shaft member (10); and a second crimped portion (22), in which an end surface (20a) is folded radially inward, and is crimped to the shaft member (10).

    Abstract: To provide a vehicle steering control device capable of suppressing influence of a torque generated during driving support by an EPS device on steering of a steering wheel performed by a driver. The vehicle steering control device includes an EPS controller (first controller) that controls a speed reduction mechanism and a differential mechanism controller (second controller) that controls a differential mechanism. In addition, the vehicle steering control device has a first steering assist mode of assisting driver's steering and a second steering assist mode of performing steering independently from the driver's steering. In the second steering assist mode, the second controller controls the differential mechanism so as to cancel a torque applied to a rack-and-pinion side of the differential mechanism from the speed reduction mechanism controlled by the first controller.

    Abstract: To provide a vehicle steering control device capable of alleviating discomfort caused by mismatch between a steering angle of a steering wheel and a steered angle of a drive wheel generated by automatic steering using an EPS device. The vehicle steering control device has a first steering assist mode of assisting driver's steering and a second steering assist mode of performing steering independently from the driver's steering. A second controller, performs phase shift suppression control to suppress a relative shift of a phase of a differential mechanism on a steering wheel side with respect to a reference phase on the steering wheel side of the differential mechanism corresponding to a phase on a rack-and-pinion side of the differential mechanism in the first steering assist mode.
