Abstract: A vaporized-fuel processing device for an engine stabilizes the idling operation wherein vaporized fuel within a fuel reservoir is adsorbed to an adsorbing member of a canister. While the engine is in operation, air is sucked from an air inlet into the canister with the intake-air negative pressure produced in an intake-air passage. This air separates the vaporized fuel adsorbed to the adsorbing member of the canister. Purge gas resulting from mixing the vaporized fuel into the air is sucked from a purge-gas sucking port into the intake-air passage. A throttle valve is arranged in a throttle intake-air passage of a throttle body. An intake-air pipe is disposed intake-upstream of the throttle body and is communicated with the throttle intake-air passage. The intake-air pipe has a peripheral wall to which a purge-gas sucking pipe is detachably attached. The purge-gas sucking port is provided within the purge-gas sucking pipe.

Abstract: The present invention has an object to provide a vaporized-fuel processing device for an engine, capable of stabilizing the idling operation. In order to accomplish the above object, the vaporized fuel (9) within a fuel reservoir (5) is adsorbed to an adsorbing member of a canister (1). While the engine is in operation, the air (10) is sucked from an air inlet (3) into the canister (1) with the intake-air negative pressure produced in an intake-air passage (7). This air (10) separates the vaporized fuel (9) adsorbed to the adsorbing member of the canister (1). Purge gas resulting from mixing the vaporized fuel (9) into the air (10) is sucked from a purge-gas sucking port (8) into the intake-air passage (7). A throttle valve (14) is arranged in a throttle intake-air passage (13) of a throttle body (12). An intake-air pipe (15) is disposed intake-upstream of the throttle body (12) and is communicated with the throttle intake-air passage (13).

Abstract: The present invention concerns a multi-cylinder engine comprising a throttle body (5) in which a throttle intake-air passage (6) is provided. A throttle valve (7) is arranged in this throttle intake-air passage (6). Attached to the throttle body (5) is an injector (8), a leading end portion (9) of which is arranged opposite to an interior area of the throttle intake-air passage (6) downstream of the throttle valve (7) and is opened to provided a liquid-fuel injection hole (10). An intake-air pressure sensor (15) is attached to the throttle body (5) together with the injector (8) and an intake-air pressure introduction passage (18) has an inlet (18a) provided by opening an inner peripheral surface of the throttle intake-air passage (6) upstream of the injector (8).

Abstract: A composition which consists of a compound belonging to the Vitamin B group and having a solubility in water at 20.degree. C. of not more than 5%, and mannitol, is stable in itself and undergoes less influence under ambient humidity conditions.Its good flowability is retained during storage, only with very small changes, if any.

Abstract: The bath preparation of the present invention comprises an ascorbic acid compound and at least one reducing agent selected from the group consisting of water-soluble thiosulfate, water-soluble dithionite, L-cysteine hydrochloride, glutathione and gallic acid ester.

Abstract: A vitamin-containing granule comprising one or more compounds selected from the group consisting of vitamin B.sub.6, vitamin B.sub.2, nicotinamide and a pantothenic acid salt, and a binding agent, said compound or compounds accounting for 90 to 99 weight percent of the granules on the dry basis, can be prepared by spray-coating the powders of said compound or compounds with a solution containing a binder while maintaining the powders in a fluidized state in a fluidized-bed granulation apparatus.The granules are highly flowable and blend well with other medicaments, granules, additives, and so on. In addition to this, the granules are excellent in compressibility so that they can be processed into tablets with small amounts of excipients, and the tablets therefrom have satisfactory high hardness.

Abstract: Granules consisting of a thiamine salt and a binder such as water-soluble celluloses, said thiamine salt accounting for about 95 to about 98 percent by weight on the dried basis, can be prepared by spray-coating thiamine salt powder at least about 95 percent by weight of which is capable of passing through a 145-mesh sieve with a solution containing a binder while maintaining said thiamine salt powder in a fluidized state in a fluidized-bed granulation apparatus. The granules are excellent in flowability, mixability, compressibility and bonding properties, and can be used for tablet manufacturing.
