A direct fuel injection engine basically comprises a combustion chamber, a piston with a cavity, a fuel injection valve, a spark plug and a control unit. The fuel injection valve is configured and arranged to directly inject a fuel stream into the combustion chamber in a substantially constant hollow circular cone shape in a stratified combustion region. The control unit is configured to ignite a first air-fuel mixture formed directly after the fuel stream is injected and prior to a majority of the fuel stream striking the cavity when the direct fuel injection engine is operating in a low-load stratified combustion region, and to ignite a second air-fuel mixture formed after a majority of the fuel stream is guided by the cavity toward an upper portion of the combustion chamber above the cavity when the direct fuel injection engine is operating in a high-load stratified combustion region.

In a control unit of a hot-water supply system, a boiling time period is estimated based on a hot-water amount stored in a tank at a time of 23:00, a boiling start time is adjusted so that boiling operation is finished at a time immediately before 7:00. For example, when the hot water amount stored in the tank is smaller at the time of 23:00, the boiling time period is made longer and the boiling start time is made earlier. On the other hand, when the hot water amount stored in the tank is larger at the time of 23:00, the boiling time period is made shorter and the boiling start time is made later.

A process for preparing D-lysine using a microorganism which has the ability to asymmetrically degrade L-lysine in a reaction medium is disclosed. The process is performed by first bringing racemic lysine into contact with a culture or a treated culture of the microorganism, and then collecting and isolating the D-lysine from the reaction mixture.

An oscillator circuit includes a gate G.sub.11 of C-MOS type (Q.sub.1, Q.sub.2, and the like) having the function of increasing an operating current i with increasing operating frequency. A humidity sensor HS changing electric impedance thereof in accordance with humidity is arranged in part of the oscillator circuit. The oscillator circuit converts a change in humidity into a change in frequency, causes the gate G.sub.11 to convert the change in frequency into a change in operating current i, and outputs the converted change in operating current i. Further, in order to increase the change in operating current i due to the change in frequency, a series circuit consisting of a capacitor C.sub.13 and a resistor R.sub.17 is connected to the gate G.sub.11 as a capacitive load.

A projector rear is simple in structure uses reflection type liquid crystal plates to project images on a screen. R light emitted by a light source is directed to a first liquid crystal plate via a first dichroic mirror. Light reflected from the first liquid crystal plate is reflected toward a projection axis by the first dichroic mirror. B light transmitted through the first dichroic mirror is reflected by a second dichroic mirror and impinges on a second liquid crystal plate. Light reflected by this second liquid crystal plate is again reflected toward the projection axis by the second dichroic mirror. G light is made to directly enter a third liquid crystal plate. G light reflected by the third liquid crystal plate travels along the projection axis. The angular positional relations among optical elements are so set that the angle of incidence to the normal to each dichroic mirror is close to the angle of reflection.

A disproportionation catalyst for olefins and a process for disproportionation of olefins using said catalyst are disclosed. The catalyst is a mixture of one part by weight of a first catalyst component comprising silica gel carrying thereon a tungsten oxide or its precursor and a Group I metal oxide or a compound convertible to Group I metal oxide; and 8-75 parts by weight of a second catalyst component which is alumina having a specific surface area of 20-120 m.sup.2 /g, and preferably carrying thereon a Group I or Group III metal oxide or a compound convertible to such an oxide. It exhibits a remarkably extended life of disporportionation activity and is thus applicable to the industrial use. The catalyst, therefore, can produce industrially useful compounds at a low cost by the application of the olefin disproportionation.
摘要:
A very simple process for preparing p-ethylphenol is disclosed. It is only necessary to contact phenol with an ethylating agent in vapor phase in the presence of a specific catalyst. The catalyst can be obtained by incorporating one or more alkoxysilanes to a crystalline aluminosilicte with a constraint index of 1-15 having a silica/alumina molar ratio of 20-400, wherein the amount of said alkoxysilanes to be incorporated is not less than 1.4 wt % calculated as silicon based on the amount of said crystalline aluminosilicate. Because the specific catalyst has the narrowed or restricted entrances of the micro pores of the crystalline aluminosilicate by the alkoxysilane treatment, it is possible to prepare p-ethylphenol in a high selectivity. The product contains only a very small amount of m-ethylphenol. The p-ethylphenol product obtained by the process of the present invention can be employed directly as raw materials for practical uses such as synthetic resins and antioxidants without m-ethylphenol elimination procedure.

Disclosed is a method and apparatus which can detect progress of degradation of a sodium-sulfur cell and predict possibility of final breakdown of the cell in a very near future before such a final breakdown of the cell actually occurs. The method and apparatus for diagnosing the presence or absence of an abnormal state in the sodium-sulfur cell, containing a porous electrical conductive material impregnated with molten sulfur or sodium polysulfide as its positive electrode reactant and containing sodium as its negative electrode reactant, comprises observing the operating voltage of the cell during charging and discharging so as to detect occurrence of a minute ripple in the operating voltage, and, when the amplitude of the ripple and the frequency of occurrence of the ripple increases as a result of repeated cycles of charging and discharging, deciding that degradation of the cell has progressed to an extent that final breakdown of the cell will occur in a very near future.
