PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To improve the startability of a fuel evaporator and contrive temperature stabilization. SOLUTION: The fuel evaporator (22a) is equipped with measurement means (91 to 96) measuring residual volumes of raw fuel (90) in a heated fluid passage (70), an EEPROM (electrically erasable and programable ROM) (29) memorizing the residual volumes of the raw fuel (90) measured by the measurement means (91 to 96), and a control part (24) controlling caloric value cast in the fuel evaporator (22a). The control part (24) memorizes the residual volumes of the raw fuel measured by the measurement means (91 to 96) in the EEPROM (29) when a system is stopped, and at the same time, reads the residual volumes of the raw fuel memorized in the EEPROM (29) on a system start-up, calculates an initial caloric value to evaporate raw fuel (90) remaining in the heated fluid passage (70), and puts the initial caloric value into the raw fuel (90) by controlling an air pump (61) and an injector (62).

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To displace a cam shaft to a position which implements opening and closing characteristics irrespective of the axial directional component of a valve reaction force incident to compression of a valve spring. SOLUTION: The variable valve system is provided with a cam shaft 17 having three-dimensional cam 18 in which a cam profile is changed to an axial direction and an actuator 20 making the cam shaft 17 displace to an axial direction according to the operation state of an internal combustion engine. While the valve 12 is pressed and opened by the three-dimensional cam 18 in association with rotation of the cam shaft 17 against a valve spring 14 energizing a valve 12 to the opening direction, opening and closing characteristics are changed by displacement of the cam shaft 17. In the variable valve system, a torque of a DC motor 21 is increased according to the size of the axial directional component F of a valve reaction force so as to increase output of the actuator 20.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a vehicle control device capable of presenting information for a driver to understand what vehicle operation facilitates an execution of a prescribed travel control.SOLUTION: A display part 76 displays in a display device 64 information indicating that it is predicted that an inertia travel control (a prescribed travel control) will be executed on the basis of a current vehicle state from history information DThis in which travel data is accumulated in association with each travel route within a specific range based on the current position of the vehicle 6. Therefore, when the driver changes the current vehicle state, a travel route where it is predicted that an inertia travel control will be executed is changed and displayed, an electronic control device 60 can present the driver information which enables the driver to understand what vehicle operation facilitates an execution of the inertia travel control. This allows the driver to drive the vehicle 6, for example, consciously taking advantage of a merit of improvement of fuel consumption by the inertia travel control.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a driving assist device for a vehicle, which is capable of performing optimal automatic deceleration control matched with drive feeling of a driver. SOLUTION: The driving assist device for the vehicle, which is provided with a control means for performing the automatic deceleration control when the vehicle travels in a specific position includes: an accelerator operation detecting means for detecting accelerator operation of the driver; and a brake operation detecting means for detecting brake operation of the driver. The control means, when determining that the driver performs a series of specific operations by referring to the detection result of the accelerator operation detecting means and the brake operation detecting means, learns timing when an operation included in the series of the specific operations is performed and determines a control section of the automatic deceleration control based on the learned timing.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a relative position among three or more moving bodies by interferometric positioning, and to efficiently determine the reliability of the interferometric positioning. SOLUTION: If three or more moving bodies can communicate with each other, the reference moving body transmits data including observation data obtained by an observation data obtaining means to the non reference moving body. The non reference moving body implements the interferometric positioning by using the data including the observation data obtained by the observation data obtaining means and the observation data received from the reference moving body, calculates the relative position between the reference moving body, and implements one of a process of transmitting the data including an integer bias calculated as a result of the interferometric positioning to the other non reference moving body and receiving a reliability determination result regarding the interferometric positioning, and a process of receiving the data including the integer bias from the other non reference moving body and determining the reliability of the interferometric positioning.
