摘要:
A control device switches an engine between normal operation mode and special operation mode. In the normal operation mode, an independent cylinder configuration is formed to produce combustion independently in individual cylinders. In the special operation mode, a two-cylinder interconnect configuration is formed so that burned gas discharged from preceding cylinders currently in an exhaust stroke is introduced into following cylinders currently in an intake stroke through intercylinder gas channels, a lean mixture having a high air-fuel ratio is combusted in the preceding cylinders, and a mixture produced by supplying fuel to the burned gas is combusted in the following cylinders. When the engine is switched between the special operation mode and the normal operation mode, the control device selects transitional operation mode, in which the two-cylinder interconnect configuration is formed, and interrupts combustion in the preceding cylinders while producing combustion in the following cylinders by compression ignition.

In the semiconductor integrated circuit device, an AND-type flash memory is formed on a substrate in which stripe-like element separation regions 5 are formed and active regions L sandwiched between the element separation regions 5 are formed like stripes. A silicon monocrystal substrate containing nitrogen or carbon is used as the semiconductor substrate, to reduce dislocation defects and junction leakages so that the reliability and yield are improved.

An EEPROM in which a memory cell is constituted by a floating gate electrode, a control gate electrode, a first semiconductor region provided in a main surface portion of the semiconductor substrate on an end side of the gate electrodes to which the data line is connected, and a second semiconductor region provided in a different main surface portion of the semiconductor substrate on an opposing end side of the gate electrodes to which the grounding line is connected. The drain is used differently depending upon the operations for writing the data, reading the data and erasing the data. The impurity concentration in the first semiconductor region is selected to be lower than that of the second semiconductor region, in order to improve writing and erasing characteristics as well as to increase the reading speed.

Various systems and methods are disclosed for controlling an internal combustion engine system having an internal combustion engine, a fuel injector which directly injects fuel into a combustion chamber of the internal combustion engine, and a supercharger which supercharges air into the combustion chamber. One example method comprises, injecting fuel into the combustion chamber multiple times so that a first part of the fuel is self ignited and a last part of the fuel being injected during the compression stroke or later in a cylinder cycle when a desired torque of said internal combustion engine system is in a first range; and increasing a pressure of air which the supercharger charges into the combustion chamber as amount of fuel injected into the combustion chamber during a cylinder cycle increases when the desired torque is in the first range.

Disclosed is a supercharged direct-injection engine, which comprises a supercharging device (25, 30) for compressing intake air, and an injector 10 for directly injecting fuel into a combustion chamber 5. In the engine, an excess air factor λ as a ratio of an actual air-fuel ratio to a stoichiometric air-fuel ratio, at least in an engine warmed-up mode, is set to 2 or more in the entire engine-load region. Further, compressed self-ignited combustion is performed in a low engine-load region, and a supercharging amount by the supercharging device (25, 30) is increased along with an increase in engine load in a high engine-load region to allow the excess air factor λ to be kept at 2 or more. The engine of the present invention can effectively reduce NOx emission, while improving fuel economy.

There is provided a method of controlling a spark ignited internal combustion engine having a fuel injector which injects fuel directly into its combustion chamber. The method comprises injecting a total amount of fuel into a combustion chamber by early in a compression stroke during a cylinder cycle at a first engine speed. The method further comprises injecting a first stage of fuel into the combustion chamber during a cylinder cycle by an early in a compression stroke of the cylinder cycle, and injecting a second stage of fuel by late in the compression stroke during the cylinder cycle at a second engine speed less than the first engine speed, after injecting the first stage of fuel. The amount of the second stage fuel is greater than an amount of said first stage fuel. Accordingly, the first and second stage fuels may not be pre-ignited before the spark ignition.

This invention relates to a combustion chamber structure for a spark-ignition engine, which comprises a combustion chamber defined between a bottom surface of a cylinder head and a top surface of a piston in such a manner that the bottom surface of the cylinder head serves as a ceiling wall thereof, and a spark plug having a sparking end protruding from the ceiling wall into the combustion chamber. In this combustion chamber structure, when the piston is at a top dead center, a principal space of the combustion chamber is comprised of a first combustion space around the sparking end of the spark plug and a second combustion space around a circumference of a cylinder bore. Further, the first combustion space and the second combustion space are communicated with each other through a small interspace zone where an interspace between the ceiling wall and the top surface of the piston is narrowed. The combustion chamber structure makes it possible to increase compression ratio in a practically effective manner.

A semiconductor device, which ensures device reliability especially in fine regions and enables great capacitance and high-speed operations, has memory cells including, in a first region of a main surface of a semiconductor substrate, a gate insulating film, a floating gate electrode, an interlayer insulating film, a control gate electrode, and source and drain regions of the second conduction type arranged in a matrix, with a shallow isolation structure for isolating the memory cells. When using a shallow structure buried with an insulating film for element isolation, the isolation withstand voltage in fine regions can be prevented from lowering and the variation in threshold level of selective transistors can be reduced. When the memory cells in a memory mat are divided by means of selective transistors, the disturb resistance of the memory cells can be improved.
