Abstract: A control device for controlling a fuel injection in an internal combustion engine provided with a fuel injection valve has a driving portion supplying an electric power to a terminal of the fuel injection valve so as to drive the fuel injection valve to be opened; a current detecting portion detecting a drive current flowing through the fuel injection valve when the fuel injection valve is driven to be opened; a voltage detecting portion detecting a terminal voltage of the terminal of the fuel injection valve; a correction portion correcting the electric power supplied by the driving portion so that an actual value of the drive current detected by the current detecting portion agrees with a target value; a valve close detecting portion detecting a valve closing timing of the fuel injection valve based on the terminal voltage detected by the voltage detecting portion in a condition where the electric power supplied by the driving portion is corrected by the correction portion.

Abstract: A run-flat tire comprises a tread portion, sidewall portions, bead portions, and a carcass ply extending between the bead portions. The sidewall portions are each provided therein with a sidewall reinforcing rubber layer having a crescent-shaped cross sectional shape and disposed on the axially inside of the carcass ply. The sidewall portions are each provided in the axially outer surface thereof with a rim protector which projects radially outward most on the radially outside of the radially inner edge of the sidewall reinforcing rubber layer. The bead portions are each provided therein with an axially inside core and an axially outside core between which each radially inner edge portion of the carcass ply is secured. When measured along a normal line drawn normally to the carcass ply from an apex of the rim protector, the thickness of the sidewall reinforcing rubber layer is in a range of from 29% to 35% of the thickness of the tire.
