A photoelectric conversion element according to an embodiment of the present disclosure includes: a first electrode; a second electrode disposed to be opposed to the first electrode; and an organic photoelectric conversion layer provided between the first electrode and the second electrode. The organic photoelectric conversion layer has a domain of one organic semiconductor material therein. The domain of the one organic semiconductor material has a percolation structure in which the domain vertically extends in the organic photoelectric conversion layer in a film-thickness direction, and has a smaller domain length in a plane direction of the organic photoelectric conversion layer than a domain length in the film-thickness direction of the organic photoelectric conversion layer.

In a control device for a switched reluctance motor, a voltage drop control is executed in which a voltage dropped to be lower than a voltage applied in a case where the switched reluctance motor is driven in a high-load region is applied to the switched reluctance motor, in a case where the switched reluctance motor is driven in a low-load region. The low-load region is a lower load region than the high-load region.

Control device for switched reluctance motor

A switched reluctance motor system includes a switched reluctance motor, a rotor including a plurality of salient poles, a stator including a plurality of salient poles, coils of three phases wound around the salient poles of the stator, and an electronic control unit. The electronic control unit is configured to drive the switched reluctance motor in a pole configuration pattern of NSNSNS in which the salient poles of the stator that have different polarities are alternately arranged. The electronic control unit is configured to perform current waveform control when an excitation sound frequency of a given order coincides with a resonance frequency of the switched reluctance motor.

A soft magnetic thin film is fabricated by depositing metallic particles obliquely on a substrate. The sign and magnitude of the crystalline magnetic anisotropy of the soft magnetic thin film are selected to cancel out the shape magnetic anisotropy depending on an inclined columnar crystalline structure and the stress-induced magnetic anisotropy. The soft magnetic thin film has a reduced total magnetic anisotropy. A magnetic head incorporating the soft magnetic thin film has good recording and reproducing characteristics and high saturation magnetic characteristics.
