PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method and a device for increasing the wall thickness of a work boss part in which the boss part can be formed by increasing a circumferential wall of a vertical cylindrical part of the work and the manufacturing cost can be reduced by one swaging operation without any more swaging operations. SOLUTION: A plate part 10 of the work 1 is held by a work placement face 32 of a work supporting part 3 and a die 5 by performing one swaging operation to press the vertical cylindrical part 12 by a punch 6 in the swaging direction where L is the buckling preventive distance of preventing any buckling phenomenon of the vertical cylindrical part 12 of the work 1. In a state in which a wall thickness increasing space 65 is formed between a mandrel 4 and the vertical cylindrical part 12, the mandrel 4 is retracted in the swaging direction of a punch 6 while the material of the vertical cylindrical part 12 is allowed to flow into the space 65. The boss part is formed by increasing the thickness of the vertical cylindrical part 12 while maintaining the length of a swageable part of the vertical cylindrical part 12 to be within L, and the vertical cylindrical part 12 is swaged to shorten the length in the axial direction of the vertical cylindrical part 12.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a novel catalyst layer which exhibits high effectiveness of preventing reduction in power generation capacity.SOLUTION: In a cathode 22 as an electrode catalyst layer, Pt carrying carbon particles 50 and Pt non-carrying carbon particles 51 are mixed in a state coated, respectively, with a first electrolyte resin 71 and a second electrolyte resin 72. Since the second electrolyte resin 72 with which the Pt non-carrying carbon particles 51 are coated has an ion exchange group equivalent smaller than that of the first electrolyte resin 71 with which the Pt carrying carbon particles 50 are coated, the second electrolyte resin 72 has a water retentivity higher than that of the first electrolyte resin 71 with which the Pt carrying carbon particles 50 are coated.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a control device for an internal combustion engine for setting supercharging pressure to accurately follow target supercharging pressure. SOLUTION: An engine 200 has a LP side turbo (a second supercharger) including a LP side turbine 210, a VN 215 (a variable nozzle) and a LP side compressor 213, and a HP side turbo (a first supercharger) including a HP side turbine 218 and a HP side compressor 221. To an exhaust manifold 207 of the engine 200, a HP side exhaust passage 216 in which the HP side turbine 218 is installed and a HP bypass line 227 in which a ECV 228 (an exhaust selector valve) is installed are connected to join each other at an exhaust joint part 222. An ECU 100 compensates for a change of supercharging pressure with hysteresis by means of the correction of a VN command opening vnfin when a change of an ECV command opening ecvfin is directed to an adaption side to be more different from an adaption value with the hysteresis. The influences of the hysteresis on a VN 215 are also compensated by means of the correction of the VN command opening vnfin. COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a technology for suppressing dropping of power generation due to the enlargement of a defective power generation region in a fuel battery cell. SOLUTION: A fuel cell system 1 comprises a membrane electrode assembly 16 in which an electrolyte film is joined to a catalyst layer, a conductive member 17 comprising a gas flow channel 20H where a fuel gas flows along the surface of catalyst layer, and a power supply part 6 which electrically connects a load to which power is supplied to the conducive member 17. In the conductive member 17, a particular section of gas flow channel is electrically insulated from other sections by an insulating member D. A power supply part comprises a control means 6A which turns on/off the connection between a particular section and a load. The control means 6A turns off the connection between the particular section and the load when the moisture content of the electrolyte film decreases during power generation by the membrane electrode assembly 16 while the connection between the particular section and the load is in on-state.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To enhance power generation performance and reduce unevenness of temperature and power generation performance in the gas flow direction in a unit cell of a fuel cell. SOLUTION: Two or more groove parts 60 are formed in an oxidizing gas side porous body 32 interposed between a separator and a cathode of a membrane-electrode assembly in the gas flow direction. Each groove part 60 is formed in a triangular pyramid shape, and its cross section is gradually decreased from the upstream side toward the downstream side of the oxidizing gas. Thereby, the oxidizing gas side porous body 32 has a shape more reducing pressure loss of gas on the upstream side of the gas than the downstream side of the gas. COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT
