摘要:
A processor determines an engagement state of a clutch based on a clutch signal, which is output from a clutch switch connected to a clutch pedal. In a declutching state, the processor lowers weighting gain characteristics that serve as acoustic correcting characteristics used in a sound pressure adjuster. Therefore, even when a change of an engine rotational frequency per unit of time increases during a shift-change operation, the gain of the control signal is prevented from increasing. Accordingly, a gap between real acceleration of the vehicle and a sound effect output from a speaker can be decreased, thereby reducing the possibility that the driver and/or a passenger in the vehicle may feel a sense of strangeness relative to the sound effect.

In a motor-assisted hybrid vehicle, an active vibration control system suppresses torque fluctuations of an engine without detriment to the response of a static torque. An adaptive notch filter outputs a control signal depending on a harmonic basic signal generated by a basic signal generator from a rotational frequency of a crankshaft. A combiner combines the control signal with a drive signal for the generator motor and supplies the combined signal through a power controller to the generator motor. The basic signal is supplied to corrective filters having the transfer function of the generator motor to output a reference signal. The filter coefficient of an adaptive notch filter is successively updated so that an error signal representative of a rotational speed fluctuation of the crankshaft will be minimized.

A method for testing a precursor of a secondary cell with high reliability and high efficiency to judge the precursor to be acceptable or defective. The current flowing when a test voltage is applied between a pair of electrodes is measured before an electrolyte is placed between the electrodes. If a current the current value of which exceeds a predetermined reference current value (13) is detected during the time from the start of application of a voltage to a normal secondary cell precursor until the current becomes constant, the precursor is determined to be defective.

A balancer driven gear 11 mof an engine, for the transfer of rotation of the crankshaft 4 to a balancer shaft 8, is made up of a gear member 30, a bush member 20 and elastic members 41 and 45 interposed therebetween. Wrong assembly such as reverse assembly is prevented by the following configuration. The bush member 20 has a boss portion 21 fixed to the balancer shaft 8, and a plurality of outward dowels 23a, 23b, . . . projecting radially outward from the outer periphery of the boss portion 21. The gear member 30 is disposed coaxially with the bush member 20. The gear member 30 has an annular portion 31 with gear teeth on the outer periphery thereof and a plurality of inward dowels 33a, 33b, . . . projecting radially inward from the inner periphery of the annular portion 31. Elastic members 41 and 45 are disposed between the outward dowels 23a . . . on the bush member 20 and the inward dowels 33a . . . on the gear member 30. The shapes and/or dimensions of the dowels positioned on opposite sides with respect to the axis of the balancer driven gear are made asymmetric.

An IC tag 23 is fixed to a central portion of an axially outer end portion face of a hub 10a which is a rotational ring which makes up the wheel supporting bearing unit 5a. Historical information of the wheel supporting bearing unit 5a is stored in the IC tag 23. The historical information stored in the IC tag 23 can be read easily by the use of an external device 28. Due to this, the traceability of the wheel supporting bearing unit 5a can be increased.

An active noise/vibration/sound control system for a vehicle has an ANC (active noise control apparatus), an AVC (active vibration control apparatus), and an ASC (active sound control apparatus). To prevent the ANC, the AVC, and the ASC from interfering with each other and hence to prevent vehicle cabin environment of vibrations, noise, and sound from being impaired, activation and inactivation of the ANC, the AVC, and the ASC are controlled or their control characteristics are controlled in relation to each other by a weighting variable calculator as a coordination controller, depending on an engine rotation frequency and a frequency change which are representative of a running state of the vehicle as detected by an engine rotation frequency detector and a frequency change detector that serve as a running state detector.

An internal combustion engine includes a split crankcase with spaced-apart journal walls. Each journal wall has a bearing hole formed therein. The engine also includes rotary bearings for supporting rotary movement of a crankshaft. A backlash-absorbing mechanism is situated proximate a first one of the rotary bearings, for cushioning radial movement of an outer bearing race. Axial movement-restraining structure is also provided adjacent the outer race, for limiting axial movement thereof. The axial movement-restraining structure may include an engaging groove provided in an inner circumferential surface of the outer race, and a restraining clamp member operatively attached to a surface of the crankcase. The restraining clamp member may include a hook portion which engages with the engaging groove of the outer race. The axial movement-restraining structure allows at least one of the crankshaft support bearings to be a roller bearing or a needle bearing, instead of a ball bearing.

In a manufacturing method of a semiconductor device, a metallic gate electrode film, a protective film and an offset nitride film are formed on a semiconductor substrate to compose a stacked structure. An insulating film which covers the stacked structure is etched to expose the offset nitride film, and the exposed offset nitride film is etched to expose the protective film. The exposed protective film may be etched to expose the metallic gate electrode film under predetermined etching conditions. An etching rate of the protective film is greater than that of the metallic gate electrode film. The etching of the insulating film and the etching of the exposed offset nitride film may form a contact hole. A conductive plug is formed in the contact hole.
摘要:
A method for removing thiophene and thiophene compounds from liquid fuel includes contacting the liquid fuel with an adsorbent which preferentially adsorbs the thiophene and thiophene compounds. The adsorption takes place at a selected temperature and pressure, thereby producing a non-adsorbed component and a thiophene/thiophene compound-rich adsorbed component. The adsorbent includes either a metal or a metal cation that is adapted to form π-complexation bonds with the thiophene and/or thiophene compounds, and the preferential adsorption occurs by π-complexation. A further method includes selective removal of aromatic compounds from a mixture of aromatic and aliphatic compounds.
