Patent number: 6983733Abstract: A direct-injection spark-ignition engine includes a spark plug provided approximately at the center of the ceiling of a combustion chamber, and an injector having at its downstream end a nozzle which is located in an upper peripheral area of the combustion chamber, in which multiple openings are formed in the nozzle of the injector. Fuel is injected from the nozzle of the injector directly toward the proximity of an electrode of the spark plug. The directions of axis lines of the individual openings are set such that central points of fuel jets spewed out of the individual openings do not lie on the spark plug but are distributed around the electrode, slightly separated therefrom.Type: GrantFiled: June 9, 2003Date of Patent: January 10, 2006Assignee: Mazda Motor CorporationInventors: Hiroyuki Yamashita, Noriyuki Ohta, Fumihiko Saito, Keiji Araki

Patent number: 6684848Abstract: A fuel spray and a tumble collide with each other from approximately opposite directions in a cavity formed in a piston head so that a combustible mixture stays around a spark plug for an extended period of time. An upper opening of the cavity is elongated to both the left and right sides of a cylinder axis. The distance between a ceiling of the combustion chamber and a bottom surface of the cavity is smaller on the right side of the cylinder axis than on the left side thereof and largest at least at a point where the cylinder axis crosses the bottom surface of the cavity, and a portion of the cavity to the left of the cylinder axis has a larger volumetric capacity than a portion of the cavity to the right of the cylinder axis, whereby a strong tumble is maintained up to a fuel injection point.Type: GrantFiled: March 27, 2002Date of Patent: February 3, 2004Assignee: Mazda Motor CorporationInventors: Fumihiko Saito, Noriyuki Ohta, Hiroyuki Yamashita, Masashi Marubara, Masatoshi Seto, Hiroyuki Yoshida, Takehiko Yasuoka, Masakazu Matsumoto

Patent number: 6681739Abstract: A direct-injection spark-ignition engine in which a combustible mixture is produced around a spark plug at an ignition point by causing a tumble and a fuel spray to collide with each other in a combustion chamber during stratified charge combustion comprises a fuel pressure controller which controls fuel pressure such that penetration of the fuel spray from a fuel injector is progressively intensified with an increase in engine speed in a stratified charge combustion region and means for controlling fuel injection timing including an injection timing setter. The means for controlling fuel injection timing controls the injection timing in such a way that the interval between a fuel injection ending point and the ignition point becomes progressively shorter as engine speed increases under the same engine load conditions in the stratified charge combustion region.Type: GrantFiled: May 15, 2002Date of Patent: January 27, 2004Assignee: Mazda Motor CorporationInventors: Kiyotaka Mamiya, Masayuki Tetsuno, Takeo Yamauchi, Noriyuki Ohta

Patent number: 6672277Abstract: During stratified-charge combustion operation of a direct-injection spark ignition engine, at the cylinder compression stroke, a tumble is generated which flows between a spark plug electrode and a piston crown surface toward an injector. A fuel is injected from the injector in correspondence with the cylinder ignition timing by controlling the penetration of fuel spray from the injector to correspond to the tumble flow rate so that the fuel spray may go against the tumble, become a flammable mixture at the cylinder ignition timing and stay near the spark plug electrode. In the late stage of the compression stroke, diffusion of the flammable mixture is suppressed with squishes. Thus, fuel spray behavior in the combustion chamber is controlled to allow suitable mixture stratification over a wide engine operating condition range. This improves combustion quality and extends a stratified-charge combustion zone thereby providing enhanced fuel economy and power output.Type: GrantFiled: November 29, 2001Date of Patent: January 6, 2004Assignee: Mazda Motor CorporationInventors: Takehiko Yasuoka, Noriyuki Ohta, Hiroyuki Yamashita, Masatoshi Seto, Masakazu Matsumoto, Fumihiko Saito, Keiji Araki

Publication number: 20030075141Abstract: A piston structure for a direct-injection, spark-ignition engine which properly stratifies a mixture adjacent to the spark plug in a stratified-combustion operation without impairing the reliable ignition of the spark plug. In the direct-injection, spark-ignition engine, the central portion of the roof of the combustion chamber is located at a higher level than its peripheral portion, the spark plug is disposed in the central portion, the fuel injector is disposed on the left side of the central portion, and the fuel injector injects fuel so that the fuel contacts the tumble flow produced in the combustion chamber in such a manner that the mixture is concentrated adjacent to the spark plug and ignited in the area in which the tumble flow turns clockwise.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 25, 2002Publication date: April 24, 2003Applicant: MAZDA MOTOR CORPORATIONInventors: Noriyuki Ohta, Hiroyuki Yoshida, Hiroyuki Yamashita

Patent number: 5557123Abstract: A nonvolatile semiconductor memory device with improved writing characteristics. The memory device has memory cell transistors arranged in rows and columns. The memory cell transistors belonging to the same column share a source region and a drain region, and a channel region is disposed between the source and drain regions. The interval between the source and drain regions is the isolation width. Each of the memory cell transistors has a floating gate electrode disposed on the channel region with a first gate insulating film and a control gate electrode disposed on the floating gate electrode with a second gate insulating film. The floating gate electrode does not have a constant width and has a portion narrower than the isolation width which is free from the floating gate electrode. The narrower portion is typically formed as a constricted portion of the floating gate electrode.Type: GrantFiled: October 7, 1994Date of Patent: September 17, 1996Assignee: NEC CorporationInventor: Noriyuki Ohta
