摘要:
When fuel supply is stopped while an engine is decelerating, pressure in each cylinder is detected using a pressure sensor, and the peak value of the pressure in each cylinder is determined. Also, an intake air amount is detected when the fuel supply is stopped, and the allowable range of the peak value is calculated based on the intake air amount. When the peak value of the pressure in a cylinder is in the allowable range, it is determined that a charged air amount in the cylinder is in a target amount range. When the peak value of the pressure in a cylinder is out of the allowable range, it is determined that the charged air amount in the cylinder is out of the target amount range, and a warning device is operated.

A semiconductor device is provided that simplifies wiring pattern and is capable of being etched through an etching hole as a concavity is produced over a short time period. A dielectric film 12 is formed so as to shield the concavity formed upon the upper surface of a silicon substrate 10. A circuit pattern that has a thermoelectric conversion element 18 is formed upon the dielectric film. The upper surface of the silicon wafer becomes a (100) surface, and a first etching hole 16 extending in the direction of the silicon substrate and a second etching hole 17 extending in the direction are formed. These holes intersect in a cross shape. Shapes of the first and second etching holes become parallelograms which have oblique sides tilted with respect to and . Imaginary rectangles passing though the vertices of the first and second etching holes are continuous. As a cross shape is removed from the silicon substrate, etching is rapid due to the appearance of (411) surfaces at the intersecting part.

An exhaust gas purification catalyst is recovered from the sulfur poisoning more appropriately. For this purpose, an exhaust gas purification apparatus for an internal combustion engine selectively executes first control in which an air-fuel ratio of an exhaust gas allowed to flow into an exhaust gas purification catalyst is set to be not more than a theoretical air-fuel ratio to remove a sulfur component from the exhaust gas purification catalyst; and second control in which the air-fuel ratio of the exhaust gas allowed to flow into the exhaust gas purification catalyst is set to an air-fuel ratio that is lower than the air-fuel ratio of the exhaust gas set in the first control to remove the sulfur component from the exhaust gas purification catalyst; wherein the exhaust gas purification apparatus for the internal combustion engine comprises a control unit which executes any one of the first control and the second control on the basis of at least one of purification performance of the exhaust gas purification catalyst, a travel distance of a vehicle that carries the internal combustion engine, and a number of times of removal of the sulfur component from the exhaust gas purification catalyst.

An electrostatic induction power generator includes a spherical member for making a distance between surfaces of a first substrate and a second substrate facing each other constant. A housing is provided with a first reference surface to which a surface of the second substrate facing the first substrate is fixed and which is a positioning reference for the second substrate with respect to the surface facing the first substrate in a vertical direction, and a second reference surface with which the spherical member is slidably in contact and which is a positioning reference for the spherical member with respect to the surface facing the first substrate in the vertical direction. The spherical member is slidably in contact with a surface of the first substrate facing the second substrate.
摘要:
The NOx storage catalyst and the NOx selective reduction catalyst are arranged in the engine exhaust passage. In the engine low load operating region, a combustion is performed in the combustion chamber under a lean base air-fuel ratio and the air-fuel ratio in the combustion chamber is made rich when NOx should be released from the NOx storage catalyst. In the engine medium load operating region, the base air-fuel ratio is made smaller, a degree of richness of the air-fuel ratio is made smaller, and a period in which the air-fuel ratio is made rich is made shorter so that an amount of ammonia which is produced per unit time when the air-fuel ratio is made rich falls compared with the time of engine low load operation.

In cases where an NOx selective reduction catalyst is provided at a location downstream of an NOx storage reduction catalyst, NOx purification performance in an exhaust gas purification apparatus as a whole is maintained, irrespective of deterioration of the NOx storage reduction catalyst. For this purpose, the reduction of NOx in the NOx storage reduction catalyst is promoted more when the degree of deterioration of the NOx storage reduction catalyst or the NOx selective reduction catalyst is low than when it is high, and the reduction of NOx in the NOx selective reduction catalyst is promoted more when the degree of deterioration of the NOx storage reduction catalyst or the NOx selective reduction catalyst is high than when it is low.
摘要:
The exhaust cleaner for internal combustion engine is equipped with NOx storage reduction catalyst (161, 162) which is disposed in exhaust passage of an internal combustion engine and which absorb and reduce the NOx contained in exhaust gas. The NOx storage reduction catalyst (161, 162) each include a coating layer that has been formed on the inner wall of cells through which the exhaust passage, the coating layer having the catalytic function. The coating layers have been formed so that the thickness of the coating layer of the NOx storage reduction catalyst (161) located upstream in the flow of the exhaust gas is smaller than the thickness of the coating layer of the NOx storage reduction catalyst (162) located downstream. Due to this configuration, the NOx storage reduction catalyst (161, 162) are inhibit from being poisoned by sulfur and high NOx removal percentage is maintained.

摘要:
An electrostatic induction generator has a first substrate and a second substrate that can move relative to each other while remaining opposed to each other, an electret provided in the first substrate, and a first electrode and a second electrode provided on a surface side opposed to the electret in the second substrate. A positional relationship between the electret and the first electrode and a positional relationship between the electret and the second electrode change in association with a change of relative positions between the first substrate and the second substrate, whereby an electrostatic capacitance between the electret and the first electrode and an electrostatic capacitance between the electret and the second electrode change to output an electric power. A structure that decreases the electrostatic capacitance between the first electrode and the second electrode is provided between the first electrode and the second electrode.
摘要:
An exhaust purification system for an internal combustion engine capable of lean-burn driving comprises: an NSR catalyst disposed in an exhaust passageway; an SCR disposed downstream of the NSR catalyst; a NOx sensor, disposed downstream of the SCR, for producing output in response to NOx concentration; and rich-spike means for causing a rich-spike. When the NOx sensor has produced output indicative of a NOx concentration higher than a given NOx concentration, the system increases the amount of the NOx contained in the exhaust gas discharged during the rich-spike. Under a given high-load condition, the air-fuel ratio is made stoichiometric during the rich-spike caused at a particular timing. Under a given low-load condition, the amount of exhaust gas is increased during the rich-spike.
