A q-axis target current setting unit generates a q-axis current command value based on a steering input signal from a steering torque sensor and a vehicle speed signal from a vehicle speed sensor. An electric motor generates a predetermined torque based on the q-axis current command value and a q-axis current (a torque current) to which a fed back q-axis real current is added. On the other hand, a d-axis correction current setting unit sets a field weakening current (a d-axis current) in response to a voltage saturation (duty ratio=driving voltage of electric motor / power supply voltage) output from a voltage saturation calculating unit. For this reason, when the voltage saturation becomes high, distortion (harmonics component) in current can be decreased by decreasing the voltage saturation while keeping the torque constant using a predetermined torque current, and a torque ripple can be suppressed.

An apparatus for nursing immobile patients in bed includes a base, a sheet and a control unit. Both the base and sheet components include magnetic elements. The sheet is placed on top of the base, and the patient is lying on top of the sheet. When activated, the magnetic elements in the sheet and base repel each other. The resultant magnetic force opposes the weight of a patient by that, elevate the patient. Under these conditions, the net force (Normal force) is reduced, leading to reduced friction force between the base and sheet components. Moreover, the magnetic elements produce a force perpendicular to the static magnetic field which creates a torque that may contribute to the rotation of the sheet component. This in turn leads to a reduction in the workload needed to change a patient's position.

An improved key pin and action pin that is resistant to corrosion, is very durable and has surfaces with a very low coefficient of friction. The pins are preferably made of aluminum or aluminum alloy with a hardened anodized oxide surface. The anodized pins may be polished to provide a surface with a very low coefficient of friction that is also very durable. As a consequence of the low friction and corrosion resistance, piano actions using the pins have less resistance providing an action with a lighter “feel” and consistency. Longevity of the components of the action and the pins is also greatly improved especially for pianos located in humid climates where traditional pins experience corrosion.
