  • Publication number: 20100211293
    Abstract: An internal combustion engine exhaust gas system includes a filter arranged in an exhaust passage of the internal combustion engine, a fuel adding valve which is arranged upstream of the filter and supplies fuel into the exhaust passage, and a low-pressure exhaust gas recirculation apparatus that removes some of the exhaust gas from downstream of the filter as EGR gas. An EGR rate is controlled taking into account the amount of fuel supplied by the fuel adding valve such that an oxygen concentration of intake gas, which is drawn into a cylinder of the internal combustion engine in a state in which the EGR gas that is introduced by the low-pressure exhaust gas recirculation apparatus is mixed with air introduced into an intake passage, is constant before and after fuel is supplied by the fuel adding valve.

  • Patent number: 7771314
    Abstract: A control apparatus for a tractor or wheel loader includes a speed change sensor that detects the step-on amount of a speed change pedal, an actuator that regulates a swash plate angle of a hydraulic pump based on the detection value of the speed change sensor, a transmission output unit rotation sensor that detects the revolution speed of an output shalt, and a control unit. When the speed change pedal is not stepped on, a braking force is applied to travel wheels and both of a forward drive clutch and a reverse drive clutch are disengaged. When a transmission drive output detected with the transmission output unit rotation sensor is not more than a fixed forward or reverse drive switching speed, either the forward drive clutch or the reverse drive clutch is engaged as the speed change pedal is stepped on.

  • Publication number: 20100043747
    Abstract: An object of the present invention is to control the discharge amount of unburned fuel components in the internal combustion engine. According the present invention, the number of times of execution of sub fuel injection is changed based on the operation range within which the operation state of the internal combustion engine falls so that the lower the engine load of the internal combustion engine is, and the lower the number of engine revolutions of the internal combustion engine is, the more the number of times of execution of sub fuel injection is increased. Furthermore, the lower the atmospheric pressure is, the lower the temperature of the cooling water of the internal combustion engine is, or the lower the temperature of the intake air of the internal combustion engine is, the more an operation range in which the number of times of execution of sub fuel injection is large is expanded to higher loads and higher revolutions.

Central end portions of the first and second coil conductors are connected to each other through a connection layer. Outer end portions of the spirals of the first and second coil conductors are connected to corresponding ones of first and second terminals of the thin inductor, respectively. A sintered green sheet as a magnetic substance is disposed in gaps between the first and second coil conductors. In this manner, the invention can provide a thin inductor small in size, strong in mechanical strength and inexpensive, a method of producing the thin inductor, and an ultra small size power conversion apparatus using the thin inductor.

  • Publication number: 20090159048
    Abstract: An injected fuel pressure boosting device provided with a large diameter piston, a medium diameter piston, and a small diameter piston. A high pressure chamber filled at high pressure at all times is formed at the outer end of the medium diameter pistons, while a pressure boosting chamber is formed at the outer end of the small diameter piston. A pressure control chamber is formed on the end face of the large diameter piston on the small diameter piston side. When high pressure fuel is supplied to the pressure control chamber, the large diameter piston moves to the medium diameter piston side, that is, the pressure boosting preparation position. At this time, the leaked fuel outflow port is closed by the end face of the large diameter piston.

  • Patent number: 7267097
    Abstract: An internal combustion engine provided with a common rail (13) and fuel injectors (3) connected to the common rail (13). When pilot injection is performed, the injection pressure pulsates. At this time, the injection amount of the main injection fluctuates by a certain fluctuation pattern. If indicating on an abscissa a time interval from when pilot injection is started to when main injection is started and indicating on the ordinate a fluctuation amount of main injection, the fluctuation pattern of the injection amount of the main injection becomes a form contracted or expanded in the abscissa direction and ordinate direction in accordance with the rail pressure. This characteristic is utilized to find the fluctuation amount of the injection amount of the main injection.
