    摘要: A steering system includes a steering shaft; a motor configured to generate a torque applied to the steering shaft; and a control unit configured to control the motor. The control unit has a function of performing steering angle feedback control for causing a steering angle that is a rotation angle of a steering wheel to reach a target steering angle that is set based on a point of view of adjusting a rotational position of the steering wheel, as an adjustment process of adjusting the rotational position of the steering wheel. The control unit is configured to set a limit value for limiting a change range of the target steering angle with respect to the steering angle at each moment in a period in which automatic rotation of the steering wheel is hindered in a case where the automatic rotation is hindered while the adjustment process is being performed.

    摘要: An ultrasonic inspection apparatus includes a transmitting and a receiving probe. The transmitting probe includes a first contact part having a first convex cylindrical surface in line contact with the curved surface, and a transmitting element configured to transmit an ultrasonic wave to the first surface. The receiving probe includes a second contact part having a second convex cylindrical surface, and a receiving element configured to receive an ultrasonic wave incident from the second surface. The transmitting element is provided along a first attachment surface perpendicular to a first transmitting virtual line that passes a first contact position and is slanted away from the receiving probe with respect to the line. The receiving element is provided along a second attachment surface perpendicular to a second receiving virtual line that passes a second contact position and is slanted away from the transmitting probe with respect to the second line.

    摘要: A rack bar includes: a rack tooth row including a plurality of rack teeth meshing with pinion teeth; a hardened layer provided continuously over an entire circumference of the rack tooth row; and a center portion provided inside the hardened layer and having lower hardness than the hardened layer. When the rack bar is viewed in an axial direction of the rack bar, a depth of the hardened layer from the following positions i), ii), and iii) increases in this order: i) a bottom land of the rack teeth; ii) a side of the rack bar relative to the bottom land; and iii) a back of the rack bar relative to the bottom land.

    摘要: An information providing system includes: a processor; and a memory storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the information providing system to perform operations including: acquiring position information indicating a user position; acquiring at least one of pieces of data information, each including sound information representing a sound, range information associated with the sound information and representing a predetermined range on a map, and reproduction information associated with the sound information and indicating settings related to reproduction of the sound in the sound information; and reproducing a sound by referring to the at least one of pieces of data information based on the position information. In a case in which there are one or more pieces of range information representing ranges including the user position, the reproduction processing is executed for each of the one or more pieces of range information.
