摘要:
A method of detecting the condition of combustion in each cylinder of an internal combustion engine while monitoring a variation in rotation of a crankshaft in the engine for each cylinder, in which the degree of irregular combustion is judged based on the magnitude of the rotational variation, and/or in which the condition of combustion in a succeeding cylinder is judged based on the difference between rotational variations within one combustion period, of adjacent cylinders, and/or in which the rotational ascending rate within one combustion period, of each cylinder is detected to judge the condition of combustion in the cylinder based on the dropping state of the rotational ascending rate, and/or in which the rotational angular acceleration within one combustion period, of each cylinder is detected to thereby judge that a predetermined cylinder is in a condition of irregular combustion when the quantity of the variation in rotational angular acceleration between adjacent cylinders exceeds a predetermined value.

A roll coating apparatus for applying a coating liquid having a high viscosity at a normal temperature, to a surface of a substrate, including a device for feeding the substrate, a coating roll rotatably provided in contact with the fed substrate, and a doctor for regulating the coating liquid adhering to the coating roll to a prescribed amount. Respective axial lines of the coating roll and the doctor are inclined with a prescribed angle with respect to the horizontal plane and a coating liquid supply device is provided at the highest position thereof. The coating liquid supplied at the highest end of the coating roll adheres to the surface of the coating roll. The quantity thereof is controlled by the doctor. The coating liquid flows downward on the surface of the coating roll due to its weight and rotation of the coating roll. Accordingly, the coating liquid on the surface of the coating roll is constantly renewed and no irregularities occur to the density of the liquid. The coating liquid is transferred from the coating roll, to form a film having a prescribed uniform thickness on the substrate. This roll coating apparatus may further include a device for heating parts of the apparatus or the substrate to lower the viscosity of the coating liquid. Thus, it becomes possible to form a film of a more uniform and regulated thickness easily.

Disclosed herein is an improved combination of a hollow member and a backing member to be inserted therein. Another member such as a hinge is secured to the hollow member by machine screws which extend through the hinge and the wall of the hollow member and are tightened in threaded holes in the backing member. The hollow member is provided with an inwardly extending pawl and the backing member is adapted to be placed in a desired position in the hollow member by engagement with the pawl. When a plurality of backing members are to be placed in the hollow member, a plurality of pawls are formed in the hollow member so that they are laterally offset from each other with respect to the longitudinal direction of the hollow member and a void portion is formed in each backing member so that the pawls above the intended pawl do not interfere with the backing member as it is inserted in the hollow member.

Improvements in a coenzyme electrode used to electrochemically measure the activity of enzyme or substrate concentration of the enzyme easily. The coenzyme is immobilized, without using a semipermeable membrane, on the electron collector directly with the chemical bond, particularly the covalent bond, whereby the activity of the oxido-reductase requiring the coenzyme can be measured. In addition, the oxido-reductase requiring the coenzyme is also immobilized together with such immobilized coenzyme to improve the characteristics of the conventional enzyme-coenzyme immobilized electrode.

A zigzag sewing machine of a sewing pattern selectable type is disclosed having a cloth advancing mechanism for advancing a cloth at a predetermined pitch after every one stitch and a pitch control dial for controlling the length of said pitch. A plurality of indication lamps are provided for producing a warning signal when an erroneous combination between the cam selection and pitch adjustment is constituted.

Provided are white space sharing control method, database device, agent device and communication system with which use of white space (WS) is controlled when a plurality of WS wireless devices compete for use of WS. In ST105, an application A proxy device arbitrates WS channel use requests received from a plurality of application A first WS wireless devices and combines these requests into one, and, in ST107, the application A proxy device transmits the arbitrated WS channel use request and location information to a frequency database apparatus. In ST108, the frequency database apparatus decides whether or not application A and application B are available on the basis of the “arbitrated WS channel use request and location information” and “priority ranking information according to use”. In ST109, the frequency database apparatus updates application A database information and application B database information on the basis of the decision result.

Provided is a low-cost, highly active, environmentally friendly living radical polymerization method which does not require a radical initiator. Even if a catalyst is not used, a living radical polymerization method can be conducted by controlling the amount of the oxygen in the gaseous phase in the reaction vessel within a suitable range. A monomer having a radical-reactive unsaturated bond can be subjected to a radical polymerization reaction to obtain a polymer having narrow molecular weight distribution. The cost of the living radical polymerization can be remarkably reduced. The present invention eliminates the disadvantages of the conventional catalysts such as toxicity, low solubility, coloring/odor and the like, and is significantly more environmentally friendly and economically efficient than conventional living radical polymerization methods.

A shock absorber includes: at least one cylinder apparatus including a cylinder sealingly containing operating fluid, a piston slidably fittedly inserted in the cylinder to divide an interior of the cylinder into two chambers, and a piston rod coupled to the piston and extending to an outside of the cylinder; and at least one damping force generation mechanism connected to the cylinder apparatus, and capable of generating a damping force to be applied to a flow of the operating fluid caused by a movement of the piston and adjusting the damping force from the outside. The damping force generation mechanism includes a damping valve for generating the damping force, a pilot chamber for applying a pilot pressure by the operating fluid to the damping valve, and a pump for at least supplying or discharging the operating fluid to or from the pilot chamber.

Certain embodiments provide an ADC includes a comparator, a binary counter and a control circuit. The comparator compares a first analog signal voltage with a first reference voltage, and compares a second analog signal voltage with a second reference voltage. The binary counter counts up the clock signal for a first period until the first reference voltage becomes equal to the first analog signal after the comparator starts to compare the first reference voltage with the first analog signal voltage, and inverts a logic level of the count output having a plurality of bits after the first period elapses. The binary counter counts up the clock signal for a second period until the second reference voltage becomes equal to a second analog signal after the comparator starts to compare the second reference voltage with the second analog signal voltage.
