A battery state determining apparatus is provided which can accurately determine a state of a lead battery in an automotive vehicle. The apparatus calculates a corrected engine starting voltage Vst1 from an open-circuit voltage (OCV) measuring section that measures the open circuit voltage Vst of the lead battery at an engine starting time in accordance with a temperature of the vehicle. The apparatus further calculates a battery determination voltage Vst_th representing a voltage of the lead battery at an engine starting time when a growth rate of internal resistance of the lead battery reaches a predetermined value from the open-circuit voltage OCV. The apparatus then determines the battery state of the lead battery by determining whether the corrected engine starting voltage Vst1 is larger than the battery determination voltage Vst_th and whether the corrected engine starting voltage Vst1 belongs to a predetermined region on a characteristic map.

There is disclosed a method of registering palm imprints of individuals to be identified to authenticate the individuals. Each palm imprint is divided into parts having regions with predetermined positions and sizes. Feature points are extracted from the parts of the imprint. The obtained feature information is registered as information for identity of individuals.

A throttle control apparatus includes a throttle opening adjusting device for regulating the throttle valve opening in such a manner that the throttle valve is located in a first position for assuring sufficient opening of the throttle valve upon ignition, with the throttle valve being rotatable after establishment of ignition or combustion. The throttle valve is then moved to a second position located between the first position and a fully closed position upon an electric failure.

A group modulator provided a plurality of digitally modulated signals with frequency division multiplex, having a time division multiplexer (11) for multiplexing a plurality of input data (#l through #n). A mapping circuit (12) provides an I-channel signal and a Q-channel signal according to a pattern of the multiplexed signal and the modulation system. A pulse shaping circuit (13) restricts bandwidth of the I-channel signal and the Q-channel signal. A frequency shift circuit (14) shifts frequency of the I-channel signal and the Q-channel signal by the frequency defined by the carrier control signal (i) for each input data. An accumulator (21,22) accumulates each of the I-channel signal and the Q-channel signal of the output of the frequency shift circuit (14) during a predetermined period (T). A D/A converter (31, 32) converts the output of the accumulator from digital form to analog form. A low pass filter (41, 42) is provided at the output of the D/A converter. A quadrature modulator (5) modulates carrier frequency (f.sub.c) with quadrature modulation according to the I-channel signal and the Q-channel signal at the output of the low pass filter. A multiplicity control (6) controls multiplicity in the time division multiplexer (11) according to an external multiplicity signal.

A mechanical seal, such as may advantageously be used for an automotive water pump or the like, in which the amount of frictional torque is significantly reduced. The seal includes a follower ring through which a rotary shaft rotatably passes and a seat ring rotated by the shaft. Recesses are formed in the abutting surface of at least one of the two rings, each recess being defined by a forward edge and a rear edge and opening only to the inner circumferential surface of the rings. The forward edge of each recess is inclined from the inner circumferential surface to the rear side in the direction of rotation of the follower ring relative to the seat ring, and the rear edge extends from the outer end of the forward edge along a radial line extending through substantially the center of the shaft.

The phase of nuclear magnetization in a target placed in a homogeneous magnetic field and excited by a high-frequency magnetic field is encoded by applying a specifying magnetic field with a non-linear gradient thereto, and the specifying magnetic field is scanned across the target, and the encoded NMR signals are received and processed so as to produce an image of the distribution of nuclear magnetic substance in the target.

Provided herein is a lead-acid battery for which the risk of breakage of a current collecting lug part of a plate while in use is eliminated by simple means. At least a positive plate group of the lead-acid battery includes: one or more plates each including a current collector having a current collecting portion formed by expanding or punching a lead alloy sheet manufactured by cold rolling, and one or more current collecting lug parts unitarily formed with the current collecting portion; and a strap formed by a cast-on strap casting method and coupled to the one or more current collecting lug parts. The current collecting lug part is formed with an elongated protrusion extending in a direction away from the current collecting portion. The elongated protrusion continuously extends in a direction toward the current collecting portion of the plate from inside the strap.
摘要:
A seal structure for sealing a penetrated portion through which a rotary shaft passes between a cover member and the rotary shaft. A seal member is fitted onto the rotary shaft in a manner that the rotary shaft can rotate relative to the seal member, and the elastic buffer member is provided for connection between the seal member and the cover member at the penetrated portion. The seal structure can keep sealing performance by reducing the influence of movements such as vibration and thermal expansion of the cover member and the influence of process tolerance of the cover member on the sealing performance of the seal member attached to the penetrated portion between the cover member and the rotary shaft penetrating the cover member.
