Patent number: 11008970Abstract: A control device for controlling an engine provided with a fuel pump including a pressurizing chamber, a plunger inserted into the pressurizing chamber and which changes a volume of the pressurizing chamber, and an on-off valve configured to open and close a suction port, is provided. When a pressurizing cycle consists of a period of pressurizing stroke in which the volume of the pressurizing chamber is reduced to allow fuel to be pressurized and a period of suction stroke in which the volume of the pressurizing chamber is increased to allow fuel to be drawn into the pressurizing chamber, a closing cycle of the on-off valve is controlled so that a ratio of the closing cycle to the pressurizing cycle becomes smaller in a second combustion mode where a partial compression-ignition combustion is performed than in a first combustion mode where SI combustion is performed.Type: GrantFiled: July 7, 2020Date of Patent: May 18, 2021Assignee: Mazda Motor CorporationInventors: Masami Nishida, Toru Miyamae, Shigeki Yamashita, Kazuhiro Takemoto, Michio Ito, Kazuhiro Nishimura, Yusuke Kawai, Tetsuya Chikada, Tatsuhiro Tokunaga

Patent number: 5701505Abstract: One page of image data is divided into six data streams of blocks data. First to sixth FIFO memories of a speed difference absorbing circuit absorb a difference between a transfer rate of the block data and a processing speed of the subsequent circuits. FIFO memories of a line delay circuit delay the respective block data such that delay times for the respective block data change step by step by a predetermined time. An order conversion circuit produces 4-line parallel image data by sequentially selecting the block data sent from the line delay circuit. Sync signals for the four respective lines are delayed step by step by a predetermined time.Type: GrantFiled: March 27, 1995Date of Patent: December 23, 1997Assignee: Fuji Xerox Co., Ltd.Inventors: Shigeki Yamashita, Yoshiyuki Hirayama, Kazuhiro Suzuki
