A method and apparatus are provided for detecting the degradation of a permanent magnet in a motor of an electric or hybrid electric vehicle. First and second series resonant circuit are formed, and the resonant frequency of the first and second series resonant circuits are set to be substantially equal to each other. When a gypsum pigment andor a gypsum filler is used, the quality of the printed image is not sensitive to the control quantities used in the printing press. One or more phase shifters may be embedded in the multi-layer IC package and may be controlled via an IC bonded to the multi-layer IC package.
