摘要:
A fuel vapor control apparatus determines whether the concentration of fuel vapor in a space above the surface of liquid fuel in the fuel tank is less than a predetermined concentration. When the concentration of fuel vapor is less than the predetermined concentration, the concentration of fuel vapor in the fuel tank is increased and, when the concentration of fuel vapor exceeds the predetermined concentration, the increase of the concentration of fuel vapor is stopped. Therefore, an amount of fuel flowing out of the fuel tank can be reduced while using a reduced amount of energy.

An image forming apparatus includes a main body storage part, a determination part, and an initial adjustment part. The first image forming unit includes a first storage part storing first information indicative of whether or not an initial adjustment of the first image forming unit has been completed. The determination part determines whether or not the first information stored in the first storage part and the second information stored in the main body storage part satisfy respective prescribed conditions. The initial adjustment part causes the first and second image forming units to perform the initial adjustment when the first information indicates that the initial adjustment of the first image forming unit has not been completed and the second information indicates that the second image forming unit corresponds to an unused state.

摘要:
A method of producing a semiconductor device wherein an already formed opening portion inner wall of an organic based interlayer insulation film is prevented from changing in quality or corroding when performing etching on other organic material. The production method includes a step of depositing organic based interlayer insulation films (4, 6), a step of forming an opening on the organic based interlayer insulation films (4, 6), and a step of silylating a wall surface portion of the organic based interlayer insulation films (4, 6) exposed in the opening portion for reforming (forming reformed layers (4a, 6a) by silylation). A more preferable production method further includes a step of forming protective layers (4b, 6b) including an inorganic based insulation material on a surface of the silylated opening portion wall surface.
摘要:
A device for purifying exhaust gas includes an HC adsorbent and an exhaust gas purifying catalyst disposed in an exhaust gas passage in this order from the upstream side. The exhaust gas purifying catalyst is provided with an O.sub.2 storage capability, i.e., the exhaust gas purifying catalyst is capable of absorbing oxygen in the exhaust gas when the air-fuel ratio of the exhaust gas is lean, and is capable of releasing the absorbed oxygen when the air-fuel ratio of the exhaust gas becomes rich. When the engine starts, the HC adsorbent adsorbs HC in the exhaust gas. When the temperature of the exhaust gas becomes high, the HC adsorbent releases the adsorbed HC. The device also includes an engine control unit which operates the engine at a lean air-fuel ratio during a predetermined period before the releasing of the HC from the HC adsorbent occurs. Therefore, oxygen is absorbed and stored in the exhaust gas purifying catalyst before the releasing of HC occurs. When the releasing of HC from the HC adsorbent occurs, the air-fuel ratio of the exhaust gas flowing into the exhaust gas purifying catalyst becomes rich due to the HC released from the HC adsorbent. This causes the exhaust gas purifying catalyst to release the absorbed oxygen, and the HC in the exhaust gas is purified by the exhaust gas purifying catalyst using the released oxygen.
摘要:
A magneto-optic recording system uses a unit recording medium having on a substrate a first magnetic layer whose Curie temperature is low and also having on the first magnetic layer a second magnetic layer whose Curie temperature is high. The system heats a spot on the medium with a heating device. The system may employ two such unit recording media, each having the second magnetic layer magnetized in one direction. The two unit recording media are superposed on each other and formed integrally so as to obtain a magneto-optic recording medium in which the amount of information recorded and the recording speed are doubled. In addition, a light-emitting device and a magnetic field generator are added to the magneto-optic recording medium to obtain a compact magneto-optic recording system with a low level of power consumption.

A unit recording medium, having on a substrate a first magnetic layer whose Curie temperature is low and also having on the first magnetic layer a second magnetic layer whose Curie temperature is high, is heated by a heating device. After two such unit recording media each having the second magnetic layer magnetized in one direction are fabricated, and the fabricated two unit recording media are superposed on each other and formed integrally so as to obtain a magneto-optic recording recording medium in which the amount of information recorded and the recording speed are doubled. In addition, a light-emitting device and a magnetic field generator are added to the magneto-optic recording medium to obtain a compact magneto-optic recording system with a low level of power consumption.
