摘要:
Embodiments of the present invention may include a thermoelectric conversion unit having a pair of substrates opposing each other, thermoelectric conversion elements provided between the pair of substrates, a frame member, and a case. The frame member may be mounted along an outer peripheral portion of the pair of substrates. The case may be formed with flow channels having an opened structure. Opening portions of the flow channels may be covered with the substrates. The case may include a peripheral wall portion configured to cover the outer peripheral portion of the frame member. The peripheral wall portion of the case and the outer peripheral portion of the frame member preferably tightly contact each other to achieve sealing.

A system and method for controlling a fuel supplied to an internal combustion engine having a fuel supply cut-off function which operates when the engine falls in a predetermined engine deceleration condition. When a fuel supply recovery is restarted immediately after the fuel supply cut-off, a residual quantity of fuel which remains on a wall of an intake air passage is estimated on the basis of an engine load immediately before the fuel supply cut-off is carried out, a fuel recovery increment quantity for incrementing the fuel supply to the engine at a time immediately after the fuel supply recovery is carried out is set on the basis of the estimated residual quantity of fuel and an interval of time for which the fuel supply cut-off is carried out, a basic fuel quantity determined according to an engine operating condition is corrected according to the fuel recovery increment quantity, and the corrected fuel quantity is finally supplied to the engine during the fuel supply recovery. Therefore, a response to an acceleration is remarkably improved due to the fuel recovery increment quantity determined with the residual fuel quantity taken into account.

A switch for sensing a preset position of a throttle valve in an internal combustion engine, includes a stationary casing, a plunger movably disposed in the casing, and a throttle lever secured to the throttle valve so as to be moved along with the throttle valve. A first contact is supported on the casing. A second contact is supported on the plunger in such a manner as to contact the first contact according to the movement of the plunger. The throttle lever is so arranged as to be able to move the plunger and as to encounter the casing when the throttle lever moves, whereby the first and second contacts contact according to the movement of the throttle valve and the casing stops the movement of the throttle valve.

An automotive lamp includes an LED, a substrate that mounts the LED, a reflector that reflects the light emitted from the LED, and an projection lens having an incident surface, which receives the light reflected by the reflector, and an emission surface that emits the light toward a front area of the automotive lamp. A fine asperity structure is formed on the incident surface of the projection lens. The fine asperity structure includes recesses or raised portions formed with the pitch less than or equal to the visible light wavelength.

A method is disclosed which concerns the treatment for imparting dirtproofness to a plastic lens provided in advance on the surface thereof with an antireflection film formed by vacuum evaporation of an inorganic substance. This method forms a dirtproofing film on the antireflection film by mixing a polyfluoroalkyl silane-containing coating liquid and trichlorotrifluoroethane and boiling the resultant mixture, dip coating the plastic lens in the boiled mixture, then treating the dip coated plastic lens with the vapor of fluoroethane, subsequently drying the wet plastic lens with hot air, and optionally immersing the dried plastic lens in water.

A magnetic recording medium is disclosed comprising a substrate coated with a mixture which consists essentially of (1) hexagonal plate-like shaped, ferrite magnetic powder particles having an average particle diameter of 0.2 .mu.m or less and (2) a binder resin having an active hydrogen equivalent of 2000 or more. This magnetic recording medium displays no flocculation of the hexagonal system ferrite magnetic powder, and has excellent dispersion properties and perpendicular orientation ability. Further, smoothness on the coating film is good, and S/N properties are noticeably improved.
