Abstract: A misfire determination apparatus for an internal combustion engine including a rotational speed detector detecting a rotational speed of an engine and a microprocessor. The microprocessor is configured to perform calculating a misfire parameter having a correlation with a change amount of the rotational speed in a combustion stroke of each of a plurality of cylinders and increasing as an increase amount of the rotational speed is large based on the rotational speed detected by the rotational speed detector, and determining that a single-cylinder misfire has occurred when the misfire parameter is less than a first predetermined value, while determining that the single-cylinder misfire or a multi-cylinder misfire has occurred when the misfire parameter is less than a second predetermined value greater than the first predetermined value.

Abstract: A linking structure enables a metal lever and a metal link to be linked via a metal pin. The metal lever has a circular linking hole. The metal pin has a support shaft part that can rotate in the linking hole while being insertable in the linking hole and can move a set amount in the axial direction, a head part formed at one end of the support shaft part, and a linking shaft part at the other end of the support shaft part. The metal link has a joining hole in which the support shaft part is engaged, and the metal link is linked integrally with the metal pin. At least one end part in the axial direction of the support shaft part of the metal pin is provided with a permitting part for maximizing the amount of axial oscillation of the metal lever relative to the metal pin.

Abstract: Detergent builder granules containing (component A) a water-soluble inorganic salt containing an inorganic salt having and/or being capable of forming a hydrate crystal and (component B) a clay mineral, wherein the component B is contained in an amount of 60% by weight or less, the component A and the component B are in a weight ratio, i.e. A/B, calculated as an anhydrate, of from 5/95 to 80/20, and a percentage of water loss upon heating to a temperature of 200° C. is from 3 to 30% by weight. According to the present invention, the detergent builder granules for laundry detergents having excellent dispersibility in cold water and a detergent composition containing the detergent builder granules can be obtained.

Abstract: The powder composition for paper manufacturing of the invention contains a hydrophobic organic compound (A), an emulsifying and dispersing agent (B), and optionally water-soluble saccharides (C) added based on necessity and has an average particle diameter of 0.1 to 2,000 ?m.

Abstract: A high-density detergent composition comprises 10 to 60% by weight of a surfactant composition having a weight ratio of an anionic surfactant to a nonionic surfactant of 4:10 or more and 10:0 or less, wherein the high-density detergent composition has a bulk density of from 600 to 1200 g/L, and has a total summation of a product of a mass base frequency Wi and a dissolving rate Vi of each group of classified granules obtained by classifying detergent granules by using a classifier, which satisfies the following formula: ?(Wi·Vi)?95(%), and wherein a mass base frequency of the classified granules having a size of less than 125 ?m is 0.1 or less, wherein the classifier comprises sieves each having a sieve-opening 2000 ?m, 1410 ?m, 1000 ?m, 710 ?m, 500 ?m, 355 ?m, 250 ?m, 180 ?m, and 125 ?m, and a receiver.

Abstract: A process for releasing fragrance comprising the step of treating a) a perfume emulsified with one or more substances having emulsification actions, with b) demulsifying agent capable of demulsifying at least one of the substances having emulsification actions.

Abstract: The powder composition for paper manufacturing of the invention contains a hydrophobic organic compound (A), an emulsifying and dispersing agent (B), and optionally water-soluble saccharides (C) added based on necessity and has an average particle diameter of 0.1 to 2,000 ?m.

Abstract: A vehicle door opening-closing device which enables a reduction in the time for releasing a fully closed condition of the vehicle door without changing the driving force and the driving speed of the actuator when operating a vehicle door from a half closed condition to the fully closed condition and when releasing the fully closed condition. A latch mechanism includes a latch engageable with a striker and an engagement member for maintaining the latch at a condition for operating the vehicle door to the half closed condition and the fully closed condition. An operation mechanism operated by a motor operates the latch by way of a closing lever and operates the engagement member by way of an opening lever based on operation of an operation member. The opening lever possess a smaller lever ratio than the lever ratio of the closing lever.
