摘要:
A regeneration device for the diesel particulate filter (11) which traps particulates in exhaust gas discharged from a vehicle diesel engine (20) has a condition detecting sensor (12) which detects a condition of the diesel particulate filter, a vehicle speed sensor (27) which detects a vehicle speed, and a controller (40) which stores a map defining a predetermined running region of a diesel engine (20) in which regeneration of the filter (11) is possible. The controller (40) is programmed to modify the diesel engine running point to a running point which maintains the vehicle speed and lies within the predetermined running region. The controller (40) is further programmed to control the diesel engine to realize the engine rotation speed at the modified running point (D); set a target speed ratio of an automatic transmission (30) based on the maintained vehicle speed and the engine rotation speed (NeD) at the modified running point; and control the speed ratio of the automatic transmission to the target speed ratio.

The present invention relates to an electrode metal material for batteries, capacitors, etc., used in contact with non-aqueous electrolyte, and particularly to a capacitor formed of the electrode metal material, and provides a valve metal material capable of decreasing the internal resistance of the capacitor. The electrode metal material includes a valve metal material and numerous carbon particles included in the surface of the valve metal material. The carbon particles are further fixed in the surface of the valve metal material so as to expose to the surface. The electrode metal material is coated with an activated carbon layer and used as a double-layer electrode for an electric double-layer capacitor. The carbon particles included in the surface ensure conduction between the activated carbon layer and the valve metal material. With this configuration, even if the surface of the valve metal material is oxidized, the internal resistance of the electrode is not decreased, the internal resistance of the capacitor is decreased, and the capacitance of the capacitor is increased.

摘要:
An exhaust passage (2) of a diesel engine (1) is provided with a filter (41) for trapping particulate matter. Regeneration of the filter (41) is divided into first to third phases. In the first phase the filter temperature is raised to the combustion temperature of the particulate matter in a short period of time through control of the exhaust gas temperature. In the second phase, the oxygen concentration of the exhaust gas is held at a predetermined low level while the filter temperature is maintained so as to prevent excessive combustion of particulate matter. In the third phase, wherein the amount of trapped particulate matter has been reduced, the oxygen concentration of the exhaust gas is held at a predetermined high level while the filter temperature is maintained so as to complete the combustion of the trapped particulate matter.

A metal halide lamp is employed, as a light source, in an optical device such as, for example, an illuminator or an image display. The optical device includes a discharge tube filled with mercury, at least one rare gas, and at least one metal halide, and a pair of electrodes spaced from each other and enclosed in the discharge tube. The optical device also includes an electric circuit, electrically connected to the pair of electrodes, for starting the discharge tube by applying thereto a higher voltage than a voltage to be applied at a steady state to thereby cause an arc discharge in the discharge tube. When the lamp is turned off, power supply thereto from the electric circuit is temporarily interrupted, and when the lamp cools after a first time interval has elapsed subsequent to the interruption of the power supply, a starting voltage is applied to the lamp via the pair of electrodes for a second time interval to cause redischarge. Thereafter, the power supply to the lamp is interrupted after the second time interval has elapsed, to thereby turn off the lamp.

A filter (41) traps particulate matter contained in the exhaust gas of an engine (1). The filter (41) is regenerated by burning the trapped particulate matter by raising the temperature of the filter (41). When regeneration conditions are satisfied, a controller (31) raises the exhaust gas temperature to a first target exhaust gas temperature via an exhaust gas temperature adjusting mechanism (10) (S39), and burns the trapped particulate matter to regenerate the filter (41). When the engine (1) has rapidly decelerated during regeneration, the controller (31) decreases the exhaust gas temperature to a second target exhaust gas temperature lower than the first target exhaust gas temperature (S44, S45), and increases the exhaust gas flow rate (S52), thereby preventing the filter (41) from exceeding an upper limiting temperature.

In a positive electrode for an alkaline storage battery, a layer is formed between a porous substrate as a core material and an active material including nickel hydroxide filled into the porous substrate. The layer includes an oxide containing cobalt and nickel and/or a hydroxide containing cobalt and nickel. In the hydroxide, the average of an oxidation number of a metal is more than +II. The layer has a high electric conductivity while keeping the high corrosion resistance. A utilization rate of the active material can be improved due to the high electric conductivity. An alkaline storage battery including such an electrode has a good cycle property.

An angular velocity sensor includes a pair of vibratory piezoelectric detecting elements defining detecting planes which are disposed in symmetry about a plane containing the sense axis and out of right-angled orientation with respect to this plane. The detecting elements thus arranged assume a widely spread or flattened V-shaped configuration as viewed from above. Output signals of opposite polarities received from the respective detecting elements are weighted respectively and added together so as to cancel out unwanted leak component signals. Thus, leak component signals resulting from assembling tolerances can be canceled. In this instance, if the characteristics of two sensor elements each including one of the detecting elements are fully equivalent, a leak component signal dependent on a disturbing inertial force can simultaneously be canceled out. With this construction, the variation of the offset voltage can be reduced even when the sensor is subjected to a great change in environmental conditions including temperature.

Provided is a fuel level detector for use in a fuel tank of an automobile or the like which can accurately detect a fuel level with a reduced power consumption exhibiting an improved reliability regardless of the ambient temperatures and the temperatures of liquid fuel in order to overcome the problems involved in a thermistor method and a metal wire method. A spontaneously heated sensing resistor having a high temperature resistance coefficient is formed on a substrate so as to detect a change in the resistance value due to cooling by heat of vaporization at a portion of the sensing resistor which is dipped in fuel as a differential output voltage. In order to prevent errors in the differential output voltage due to the correction of the ambient temperature in the fuel tank, a temperature compensating resistor is provided on the substrate.
