An output circuit may be provided with: input and output terminals; a ground terminal shared by both an input side and an output side; a first switching element of n-channel type having first positive and negative electrodes, and a first gate; a second switching element of the n-channel type having second positive and negative electrodes, and a second gate; a diode; and a resistive element; in which the first positive electrode is connected with a power source, the first negative electrode is connected with the output terminal, anode of the diode is connected with the first negative electrode, cathode of the diode is connected with the first gate, the resistive element is connected between the source and the first gate, the second positive electrode is connected with the first gate, the second negative electrode is connected with the ground terminal, and the second gate is connected with the input terminal.

Output circuit

The present application discloses a deflector including a substrate portion, a movable portion, a reflective portion, a support portion, and a moving mechanism. The movable portion is supported by a first end of the support portion. A second end of the support portion is supported by the substrate portion. An end of the movable portion is capable of coming into contact with the substrate portion. The reflective portion is formed on the movable portion. The moving mechanism is capable of driving the movable portion so as to bring the movable portion into at least any one of a first state, a second state, a third state, and a fourth state.

Deflector

Teaching disclosed herein is an apparatus comprising a support layer. The support layer may be adapted for supporting a heat generator, wherein the support layer includes a flow passage. The flow passage may seal working fluid therein. The flow passage may extend along a thickness direction of the support layer.

Apparatus and method of manufacturing a support layer

A MEMS device includes a substrate, a moving part including a magnetic material and configured to tilt relative to the substrate, a first magnetic pole and a second magnetic pole configured to apply a magnetic field to the magnetic material, and a magnetic field detector configured to detect the magnetic field of the magnetic material. In the MEMS device, the first magnetic pole and the second magnetic pole are disposed on one side of the moving part, the one side being a side on which the magnetic material is located. The magnetic field detector is disposed between the first magnetic pole and the second magnetic pole. A distance between the first magnetic pole and the second magnetic pole is shorter than a length of the moving part in a direction from the first magnetic pole toward the second magnetic pole.

MEMS device

An alerting illumination device, which includes a detecting component, a danger degree estimating component, a danger assuming component, an illuminating component and a controlling component, is provided. The danger degree estimating component estimates a degree of danger, with respect to a subject vehicle, of the person detected by the detecting component. The danger assuming component, on the basis of the estimated degree of danger, assumes whether or not the person detected by the detecting component is a danger with respect to the subject vehicle. The illuminating component illuminates light. The controlling component, in a case in which the danger assuming component assumes that the person is a danger, controls the illuminating component such that light, which shows a direction of the person who is assumed to be a danger and a distance to the person, is illuminated onto a road surface.
