Abstract: An angular position detecting apparatus using a magnetic
detecting element, which can voluntary widely set an output change
characteristic of the magnetic detecting element with respect to angular
positions. The apparatus includes a cylindrical or elliptical
yoke (11), and a magnet (12) fixed to a predetermined position
in the cylindrical yoke. A magnetic detecting element (13), which is
fixed to a rotor, is provided in a magnetic field generated between the
magnet and the cylindrical yoke, so that a position of the magnetic
detecting element is shifted from a rotation axis P of the rotor by a
predetermined distance r. A ferromagnetic thin film magnetic resistance
element applies a magnetic field which has intensity so that outputs
from the elements are saturated. As a result, the magnetic detecting
element generates outputs depending only on a magnetic flux detection
angle s independent of an influence of changes of magnetic field intensity
due to temperature changes. In this case, when at least one of a rotation
radius r of the magnetic detecting element and a radius R of the cylindrical
yoke is voluntary determined, an output change characteristic of the
magnetic detecting element can be voluntary set.
Several magnetic detecting elements (13) are used to achieve a broad
linear region. The region around zero is used for high accuracy.
Application with a throttle valve.

Abstract: The network has at least two lines (1,2) and network users (3,4,5,6). The lines are used for data transmission among users and also for power transmission from a voltage source to the network users. The data are transmitted symmetrically and differentially via the two lines. One terminal of the voltage source is coupled to both lines. The network users are coupled to the other terminal of the voltage source via an electrical connection which is separate from the network. The users symmetrically couple the transmitted power from both lines of the network. The two lines are isolated from each other. The users may use inductive or capacitive coupling of data, and use inductors to couple the power. The use of the network in a motor vehicle and in domestic appliances are also claimed.

Abstract: A plunge-cutting forming tip which improves chip disposal is disclosed. A
protrusion 11 is disposed on a rake face 7 in the vicinity of the ridgeline of a plunge-cutting
edge 3. In cutting by means of the tip 1, a chip K is ejected which is not only
merely thin, but also is ejected in such a manner as to be partially squeezed as a
result of pressing against the protrusion 11. Accordingly, the chip is ejected such
that a cross section thereof is deformed into a channel shape instead of assuming a
flat shape. Thus, the rigidity of the chip is increased, so that chip disposal is
improved accordingly.
