    摘要: In a misfire detector for use in an internal combustion engine having an ignition coil, an electrical interrupter circuit interrupts a primary current flowing through a primary circuit of the ignition coil by which a spark plug is energized. A voltage divider circuit detects a divided voltage of a spark plug voltage applied across the spark plug. A spark plug voltage detector circuit is provided to detect an attenuation characteristic of a spark plug voltage waveform presented subsequent to a time period predetermined either during a spark action of the spark plug or after an end of the spark action of the spark plug. A peak hold circuit is provided to hold a peak voltage of the spark plug voltage waveform presented after the end of the spark action of the spark plug, so that a distinction circuit determines a misfire on the basis of a peak voltage level or the attenuation characteristics of the spark plug voltage waveform.

    摘要: The POS system has at least one POS terminal (101) and a store controller (121) connected to the POS terminal. The POS terminal has a program storage device (107), a program updating device (106), a program executing device (106), a goods information storage device (107) and a goods information updating device (106). The program storage device and the goods information storage device serve to store data in a non-volatile storage device. When the POS terminal (101) is started up, the program updating device and the goods information updating device operate to compare the data stored in the non-volatile storage device (107) and the data stored in the store controller (121). If the program and the goods information stored in the non-volatile storage device is incorrect or older than those stored in the store controller, the program updating device and the goods information updating device serve to read the program and the goods information from the store controller and store the read program and goods information in the non-volatile storage device.

    摘要: In a creeping discharge type spark plug, the firing surface forming portions of a center electrode and a ground electrode are made of a metallic material containing a corrosion impeding component consisting of one or more of Fe, Cr and Cu. The spark plug is attached to an internal combustion engine. When it is operated under conditions of a predetermined high speed and high load, a corrosion impeding layer containing a corrosion impeding component is formed on the surface of the top end of an insulating member, with progression of spark discharge in spark discharge gaps. The corrosion impeding layer thus formed protects the center electrode from the attack by the creeping discharge spark. Therefore, the channeling is considerably effectively prevented or restricted.

    摘要: A spark plug includes a spark portion of an Ir-based metal and a resistor disposed between a center electrode and a metallic terminal and adapted to establish an electric resistance of not less than 10 k&OHgr;, preferably not less than 15 k&OHgr;, but not greater than 25 k&OHgr; as measured between the center electrode and the metallic terminal. Thus, even in a system in which an ignition coil is connected directly to the spark plug without use of a high tension cable, an electrical discharge with a relatively weak current, such as a glow discharge, can be maintained stably, so that even at high speed or heavy load operation, consumption of the spark portion caused by volatilization of Ir through oxidation can be suppressed, thereby extending spark plug life.

    摘要: A spark plug (1) comprises a center electrode (5), an insulator (3), a metallic shell (2), and a ground electrode (6). The center electrode (5) comprises a body portion (12) having a cylindrical peripheral surface and a front-end-side opposing face (11) opposed in generally parallel to a side face of the ground electrode (6), and a protruding portion (15) which is protruded from the front-end-side opposing face (11) at a position decentered toward one side opposite to the ground electrode (6) with respect to a center axis line of the body portion (12) and which has a top face (14) formed generally parallel to the side face of the ground electrode (6). Then, given a length D of a line segment formed by an intersection that an imaginary plane including the center axis line of the body portion (12) and a center axis line of the ground electrode (6) intersects the front-end-side opposing face (11), and a protruding height h to which the protruding portion (15) protrudes from the front-end-side opposing face (11), a value of h/D is set to not less than 0.2. As a result, mixed air can be smoothly fed to around a spark discharge gap g, and moreover the flame extinction phenomenon becomes unlikely to occur. Thus, a spark plug superior in ignitability can be realized.

    摘要: A spark plug has a cylindrical metal shell, a ground electrode and an insulator fixedly supported within the metal shell with a front end of the insulator extended beyond a front end of the metal shell. The insulator has an axial bore in which a center electrode is placed to form a spark gap with the ground electrode. The front end of the metal shell is generally flush with or somewhat recessed into an inner wall of a combustion chamber of an internal combustion engine when the spark plug is mounted on a cylinder head of the engine. The front end of the insulator extends at least 4.0 mm from the front end of the metal shell.
