Abstract:
Embodiments of the present invention include an engine control method for controlling an engine having an accessory. In the method, a relationship between a torque of the accessory and a controlled variable corresponding to each rotational speed of the engine is stored in advance. An estimated value of the controlled variable is calculated based on a calculated value of the torque of the accessory and the engine rotational speed by reference to the said relationship. A command value of the controlled variable is calculated based on at least one of the engine rotational speed, opening of a throttle, opening of an accelerator and an air supply pressure. A calculated difference is determined by comparing the estimated value of the controlled variable and the command value of the controlled variable.
Abstract:
In a delivery information setting processing, for each macro, deliverability of the macro and a kind of macro data for constituting the macro are set for each process technology. In a registration processing, the macro data is registered in correlation with a macro name and a process technology name. In a delivery control processing, permission to deliver the macro is given based on the combinational condition of a macro name, a process technology name, a kind of the macro data, a macro revision, and a macro demander. In a first delivery processing, the macro data of the macro permitted for delivery through the delivery control processing is delivered to the macro demander.
Abstract:
An elongate gas distributing tube, which extends in a longitudinal direction of a container, is accommodated within the container that constitutes a gas storage container. Discharge ports, through which the gas is discharged, are provided only on a side circumferential wall of the gas distributing tube. Therefore, the discharged gas advances while being directed toward the inner side wall of the container. The gas distributing tube is surrounded by a gas absorbing/adsorbing material. On the other hand, the gas absorbing/adsorbing material is surrounded by a mixture, which is prepared by mixing the gas absorbing/adsorbing material with a heat storage material, such that heat is absorbed by the heat storage material contained therein.
Abstract:
A cylinder of an internal combustion engine is communicated with intake ports. Each of intake valves and each of fuel injection valves are provided to a corresponding one of the intake ports to inject fuel into a combustion chamber through a curved portion and an opening of the corresponding intake port. An injection axis of each fuel injection valve intersects with a surface of the corresponding intake valve placed in a close position at an intersecting point that is located on an upstream side of a central axis of the corresponding intake valve.
Abstract:
In a waterproof connector, a sealing material is filled in an internal space of an outer housing which lies between an inner housing and a waterproof plug. The outer housing is so formed that a centerline of a connector opening and a centerline of a waterproof plug receiving portion are offset a predetermined amount from each other, and the density of wires in the sealing material-filling space within the outer housing is made generally uniform.
Abstract:
A fuel cell power system practical for use in a vehicle includes a fuel cell, a first hydrogen storage vessel having a first hydrogen absorbing material storing and releasing hydrogen, a catalytic combustor that heats the first hydrogen storage vessel so as to release hydrogen in order to supply hydrogen to the fuel cell, and a second hydrogen storage vessel having a second hydrogen absorbing material storing and releasing hydrogen and has a hydrogen release temperature that is lower than that of the first hydrogen absorbing material, the second hydrogen storage vessel releasing hydrogen as a fuel for the catalytic combustor under heating by waste heat from the fuel cell. Since the catalytic combustor can generate high temperature heat, a hydrogen absorbing material having a high hydrogen release temperature and a high hydrogen storage capacity per unit weight can be used as the first hydrogen absorbing material.
Abstract:
In the bulb socket 1 according to the invention, the connecting terminal 4 to be insert molded within the bulb insertion portion 2 includes the three surfaces, that is, the two side walls 5, 6 having a substantially L-like shape as a whole and the bottom wall 7. In one side wall 5, there are provided not only contact piece 8 and securing piece 9 which can be respectively contacted with the bulb wedge, but also the inflow preventive piece 11 which prevents the flowing-around molding material from flowing into the bulb storage portion 10 and also can strengthen the fixation of the connecting terminal 4 within the bulb insertion portion 2. Also, when molding the bulb socket 1, the fall preventive cores 20 to prevent the deformation of the side walls 5 and 6 are inserted into the bulb storage portion 10 and also into the peripheral portions of the bulb storage portion 10 and, at the same time, the leading end portion 11a of the inflow preventive piece 11 is insert molded within the bulb socket 1.
Abstract:
A rear combination lamp comprises a lamp body (2) including socket mounting portions (3) and a lens portion (6), and sockets (20). Lamps are respectively attached to the sockets. Each of the socket mounting portions has a hollow construction of a generally truncated pyramid-shaped. Conductors (4, 11) are mounted on rear end portions of the socket mounting portions to form a predetermined circuit. Connection terminals (23) each having a conductor contact portion (24) are arranged within the sockets. The respective conductor contact portions project from flanges (22) or socket bodies (21) of the sockets so as to contact the respective conductors. When the respective sockets are mounted in the respective socket mounting portions, the respective conductors can be electrically connected to the respective lamps through the conductor contact portions of the connection terminals. The socket mounting portions may include ribs (10), fixing ribs (7) and fixing holes (9) for installing the conductors (4).
Abstract:
A lamp using a discharge bulb as a light source in which the size thereof in axial directions is reduced. A discharge bulb incorporated in a lamp body is used as a light source. A lighting circuit for lighting the discharge bulb is accommodated in a case, and the case is integrated with the lamp body 1. The lighting circuit accommodating case, which is thin-structured, is arranged on the back side of a socket connector of the discharge bulb, and a circuit section constituting the lighting circuit is arranged in an outer circumferential region of the socket connector. Since the lighting circuit is arranged to the rear of the socket connector, it is not necessary to provide a space for arranging the lighting circuit, and therefore the lamp can be made thin. In addition, the discharge bulb can be mounted and removed through a space in the lighting circuit.
Abstract:
A dispenser wherein a predetermined amount of a dispensing material within a syringe barrel is dispensed from a nozzle thereof by sliding axially a plunger to a prescribed distance toward the nozzle, the plunger being housed in an axially displaceable manner within the syringe barrel, a magnet is fitted to the plunger, and a magnetic proximity sensor detects an axially displacement position of the magnet within the syringe barrel.
