  • Patent number: 7690357
    Abstract: A fuel injection valve is provided with a main body and a valve member. The main body has a fuel passage and a fuel injection opening formed at the downstream-end of the fuel passage. The valve member is provided in the fuel passage. The valve member is configured to move between a first position in which the valve member closes the fuel injection opening and a second position in which the valve member opens the fuel injection opening. A hardened layer is formed on abutment surfaces of the valve member and the main body that abut with each other. The hardness of this hardened layer is lower in its surface side than in its bottom side. According to this structure, the stress generated inside the hardened layer is suppressed, and breakage and detachment of the hardened layer are prevented.

  • Publication number: 20100050006
    Abstract: The detecting unit detects a disconnection of communications that have been established with a display apparatus. When the disconnection of the communications is detected, the message generating unit generates a confirmation message that confirms whether the communications should be reestablished. The transmitting unit transmits the confirmation message to the display apparatus. The receiving unit receives a reply message that indicates whether the communications should be reestablished from the display apparatus. The main power supply controlling unit shuts down the main power supply when the reply message indicates that the communications should not be reestablished, or when no reply message is received.
