  • Patent number: 9353701
    Abstract: A cylinder block (100) of the invention includes a coolant passage (115) that guides coolant inside of a water jacket (120), inside of an inter-bore partition wall (111). The coolant passage (115) is formed by a head-side drill hole (115a) that opens at a position away from a center portion of a top surface of the inter-bore partition wall (111) and is formed inclined with respect to an extending direction (L2) of an axis of a cylinder bore so as to come closer to the center portion of the inter-bore partition wall (111) farther away from the top surface, and a jacket-side drill hole (115b) that is communicated with a tip end portion of the head-side drill hole (115a) and opens into the water jacket (120) and is formed inclined with respect to the extending direction (L2) of the axis toward the opening so as to gradually come closer to the top surface.

  • Patent number: 8786352
    Abstract: A threshold computation apparatus obtains estimated interference power for an uplink from a terminal to a base station; a predetermined communication quality value necessary for the uplink; a maximum value of transmission power of the terminal; and transmission power of the base station for a downlink from the base station to the terminal. The apparatus subtracts a logarithmic value of the maximum value of the transmission power of the terminal from a logarithmic value of the transmission power of the base station for the downlink; adds a logarithmic value of the communication quality value and a logarithmic value of the estimated interference power to a result of the subtraction; and determines a result of the addition to be a logarithmic value of received power at the terminal; and computes a threshold based on the logarithmic value of the received power at the terminal and predetermined conditions.
