Disclosed is a process for the preparation of a copolymer, which comprises propagating cells of a bacterium having a capacity of producing poly-3-hydroxybutyrate mainly at a former stage, synthesizing and accumulating in the cells a copolymer comprising D-3-hydroxybutyrate and D-3-hydroxyvalerate by contacting the bacterium with a mixture of a carbon source utilizable by the bacterium and a primary alcohol having 3 to 7 carbon atoms, or with a primary alcohol having 3 to 7 carbon atoms, at a latter stage, and recovering the copolymer from the cells. According to this process, a copolymer comprising D-3-hydroxybutyrate and D-3-hydroxyvalerate can be manufactured in a large quantity at a low cost.

An ignition timing correcting system for generating a reference signal at a reference angular position of a rotating internal combustion engine, and having an ignition signal leading it by a constant phase. In response to a control signal from a movable tap on a potentiometer, the ignition signal is retarded in phase to form a retarded ignition signal. The phase comparison of the two signals produces an advance or a retardation signal formed of a pulse train having a pulse width corresponding to the phase difference there-between. During the idling of the engine, the correcting signal drives an electric reversible motor in either a forward or reverse direction so as to move the tap on the potentiometer to adjust the control signal after the correcting signal has been converted to a driving pulse having a longer pulse width when correcting in a direction to correct an advance of said signal than the pulse width when correcting in a direction to correct a retardation of said signal with respect to the phase difference.

A return spring assembly for use in an engine intake throttle valve return device comprising a spring holder sleeve (17) including an inner and outer sleeves (18,20) placed over a throttle valve shaft (3) and connected at one end to each other so that the inner and outer sleeves (18,20) are spacedly and concentrically held. Inner and outer torsion coil springs (8,9) are supported on the inner and outer sleeves (18,20), respectively, and connected between an intake barrel (1) and the valve shaft (3) for urging the throttle valve (2) to its closed position. An eccentric radial flange (22) which may be circular, oval or polygonal is provided on the outer sleeve (20) for holding the outer torsion coil spring (9). The eccentric flange (22) extends continuously over the entire circumference of the outer sleeve (20) and has a maximum outer diametrical dimension substantially equal to the inner diameter of the outer torsion coil spring (9). The eccentric flange (22) is eccentric with respect to the outer sleeve (20) by an amount effective to prevent the outer coil spring (9) from being disclocated from the outer sleeve (20).
摘要:
An ignition timing correcting system generate a reference signal at a reference angular position of a rotating internal combustion engine and an ignition signal leading it by a constant phase. A phase shifter normally responds to a control signal from a movable tap on a potentiometer, to retard the ignition signal to form a retarded ignition signal. The phase comparison of the two signals produces an advance or a retardation correcting signal formed of a pulse train having a pulse-width corresponding to a phase difference between the two ignition signals. During the idling of the engine, the correcting signal drives forwardly or reversely an electric reversible motor to move the tap on the potentiometer to adjust the control signal. During the warm-up of the engine, the phase shifter is supplied with the sum of the control signal and a signal with a predetermined voltage to further retard the ignition signal.

In response to a control signal from a movable tap on a potentiometer, the ignition signal is normally retarded in phase to form a retarded ignition signal. The phase comparison of the two signals produces an advance or a retardation signal formed of a pulse train having a pulse-width corresponding to a phase difference between the two ignition signals. During the idling of the engine, the correcting signal drives forwardly or reversely an electric reversible motor to move the tap on the potentiometer to adjust the control signal. During the knocking of the engine, a knocking sensed signal is added to the control signal from the potentiometer to further retard the ignition signal. During the idling of the engine, the knocking sensed signal is disabled to retard the ignition signal.

摘要:
The invention provides a process for producing 2-monoglycerides (2-MG) or triglycerides (TG), particularly triglycerides having polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) residues in the sn-2 positions, at an extremely high purity and a high efficiency.The 2-MG is produced by conducting alcoholysis of a starting TG with a first 1,3-lipase. Then, the TG is produced by introducing fatty acid residues to the 1- and 3-positions of the produced 2-MG by using a second 1,3-lipase. The fatty acid residue in the 2-posiiton is preferably a residue of DHA, EPA or ARA. The “first lipase” refers to one which is selective for the 1- and 3-positions and can act even on a long-chain fatty acid in alcoholysis, while the “second lipase” refers to one which is selective for the 1- and 3-positions and can produce a TG through the reaction of a 2-MG with a fatty acid ester or a free fatty acid.
