There is provided a variable resistor comprised of a resistor formed at a movable member arranged to be reciprocatable, and a slider element attached to a fixing member fixed in opposition to the movable member, slidingly contacted with the resistor. The resistor has the first resistor, the second resistor and the third resistor extending in a reciprocating direction of the movable member and electrically independent from each other, a first resistor pattern having one end of each of the first resistor and the second resistor connected to each other, a second resistor pattern having the other ends of the second resistor and the third resistor. The slider element is comprised of the first slider element, the second slider element and the third slider element slidingly contacted with the first resistor, the second resistor and the third resistor. When the movable member is moved in the direction of arrow A, a resistance value between the first and second slider elements is increased and a resistance value between the second slider element and the third slider element is decreased, and in turn when the movable member is moved in a direction of an arrow B, a resistance value between the first slider element and the second slider element is decreased and a resistance value between the second slider element and the third slider element is increased.

An exhaust gas purification apparatus for use in an internal combustion engine comprises an exhaust gas duct connected to the engine through which exhaust gas containing NO.sub.x gas passes, and a catalyst disposed in the exhaust gas duct such that it contacts the exhaust gas. The catalyst chemically adsorbs NO.sub.x when a stoichiometric amount of a gaseous oxidizing agent present in the exhaust gas is larger than that of a gaseous reducing agent present in the exhaust gas for reducing NO.sub.x, adsorbed NO.sub.x is catalytically reduced in the presence of a reducing agent when the stoichiometric amount of the oxidizing agent is not larger that of the reducing agent.

The present invention relates to an asynchronous access system for accessing a shared storage in a multiprocessor system in which a plurality of processor modules and shared storage modules are connected through a system bus. The present invention accesses the shared storage at a high speed and reduces the overhead of the system bus. The present invention recognizes in write and read instructions serial access addresses of the shared storage, requests a block access in which a predetermined number of words are grouped as one block, and performs a recovery process when a write instruction is executed abnormally in the block access.

An apparatus is provided for purifying an exhaust gas discharged from an internal combustion engine, which comprises a first exhaust gas passage including a nitrogen oxide removing catalyst and a three way catalyst, a second exhaust gas passage including the three way catalyst, a gas flow regulator for selectively directing the exhaust gas to the first and second exhaust gas passages, and a control unit which directs the exhaust gas to the first exhaust gas passage (thereby passing exhaust gas first through the nitrogen oxide removing catalyst and thereafter through the three way catalyst) when the temperature of the nitrogen oxide removing catalyst is within a hydrocarbon adsorbing range of temperature thereof while the engine is warming up, and to the second exhaust gas passage (thereby passing the exhaust gas only through the three way catalyst) when the temperature of the nitrogen oxide removing catalyst exceeds the hydrocarbon adsorbing range of temperature thereof.

The present invention comprises a plurality of processor modules and shared storage modules connected through a system bus. It improves system performance by limiting the range and shortening the time of exclusive control when a CSI (compare and store interlocked) instruction is executed to rewrite the contents of a shared storage if read data at an accaccaccess address of a shared storage coincide with the data anticipated by a CPU. In the present invention, when the CPU of the processor module rewrites data by addressing any shared storage module in executing a CSI instruction, the CPU has a connection unit connected through a system bus of a shared storage module recognize the CSI instruction, and reads data and compares them with comparison data in the shared storage module. Thus, the range of the exclusive control is limited to the process in the internal bus in the shared storage module.
