摘要:
An air-pollution preventive arrangement for use with an internal combustion engine for motor vehicles, adapted to reduce the concentrations of noxious compounds such as unburned hydrocarbons and carbonmonoxides contained in the engine exhaust gases. The arrangement comprises a thermal reactor for primarily re-combusting the exhaust gases and a catalytic converter for secondarily recombusting the exhaust gases passed from the thermal reactor so as to oxidize the residual unburned compounds. An air injection unit supplies additional air which is admixed, in a limited proportion, to the exhaust gases entering the thermal reactor to aid in the primary re-combustion of the exhaust gases therein. The noxious unconsumed hydrocarbons and carbon-monoxides are thus converted into innocuous compounds at efficiencies which are far higher than those attained where the thermal reactor or the catalytic converter is employed independently. Such additional air may also be admixed to the exhaust gases entering the catalytic converter which is located downstream of the thermal reactor, whereby the re-combustion efficiencies of the reactor and converter are maintained at high levels throughout varying driving conditions of the motor vehicle. The arrangement may also comprise a second catalytic converter which is adapted to reduce nitrogen oxides in the exhaust gases.

An exhaust gas recirculation system comprises an exhaust gas flow control valve; a vacuum actuator for operation of the flow control valve; and a control apparatus for the vacuum actuator. The control apparatus comprises a vacuum regulator and a vacuum motor for actuating the vacuum regulator in response not only to the venturi vacuum but also to the intake manifold vacuum.

This invention provides a surface elastic wave device constituted by a unitary body of a piezoelectric plate having a pair of transducers thereon, which unitary body is embedded in a casing, and wherein the wave propagation of a surface elastic wave generated on the surface of the piezoelectric plate during excitation of the device is prevented from being transferred to the casing by a thin film inserted between the casing and the wave propagation surface of the piezoelectric plate or by using as the casing a roll of flexible sheet which has the same function of wave propagation prevention as that of the thin film. This device is advantageous because it has a low spurious signal level without incrementing insertion loss, is easy to manufacture and is inexpensive. This invention also provides an effective method of making the device.
摘要:
A valve disposed in the central space of the manifold normally divides the space into two halves to avoid mutual interference of exhaust gas flows. At low engine speeds, the valve causes the exhaust gas flows from all branches to be disturbed and to mix with each other, to promote oxidation of HC and CO.

A back-surface-incidence semiconductor light element includes: a semiconductor substrate of a first conductivity type; a first semiconductor layer of a first conductivity type on the semiconductor substrate; a light absorbing layer on the first semiconductor layer; a second semiconductor layer on the light absorbing layer; and an impurity diffusion region of a second conductivity type in a portion of the second semiconductor layer. A region including a p-n junction between the first semiconductor layer and the impurity diffusion region, and extending through the light absorbing layer, is a light detecting portion that detects light incident on a back surface of the semiconductor substrate. A groove in the back surface of the semiconductor substrate surrounds the light detecting portion, as viewed in plan.

A method of manufacturing an optical fiber, comprises applying a UV cured resin to an outer circumference of a running glass optical fiber, forming an accompanying flow composed of an inert gas near a surface of the resin by passing the glass optical fiber immediately after having the resin being applied through an atmosphere of the inert gas, and forming a coating by irradiating the resin coated with the accompanying flow with ultraviolet ray to cure the resin while the glass optical fiber accompanied by the accompanying flow is passed through a UV transmission tube to which a gas containing oxygen is supplied.

There is provided an electronic document print system comprising an electronic document generation apparatus and a print control apparatus. The print control apparatus included an identification information storage unit that stores output destination identification information corresponding to the print control apparatus, and a control unit that extracts output destination identification information from an obtained electronic document, causes a printing apparatus to print content data in the electronic document if the extracted output destination identification information matches the output destination identification information corresponding to the print control apparatus stored in the identification information storage unit, and performs erroneous transmission notification processing using erroneous transmission guidance data in the electronic document if no match is obtained.
摘要:
A dynamic, preventive, centralized printer resource management system provides dynamic, preventive monitoring of printer resources and centralization of the supervision of printer resources in a print management system. The system dynamically monitors the printer resources and delivers warning messages to system administrators, end users, and/or vendors when a printer resource falls below a predetermined threshold. Further, the printer resources can be monitored from a single, centralized location, such as a control panel proximate the system administrator. Notification of printer resource warnings can also be electronically delivered to end users, system operators, and/or vendors. Thus, the printer resource deficiency can be investigated by the administrator, user, or vendor, and resolved prior to the printer resource becoming entirely exhausted.
