  • Patent number: 8325083
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, an radar apparatus includes a signal processor, a transmitting unit, an antenna, a first receiving unit, and a second receiving unit. The signal processor generates first or second pulses, and generates a control signal having first or second states. The transmitting unit converts the first and second pulses into first and second transmission pulses. The antenna radiates the first and second transmission pulses and receives reflection pulses to generate a reception signal. The first receiving unit includes first and second receiving circuits which processes the reception signal to generate first and second processed signals, respectively, and outputs one of the first and second processed signals depending on the state of the control signal. The second receiving unit processes the one of the first and second processed signals.

  • Patent number: 5483940
    Abstract: A basic discharge QK Of a fuel pump is determined based on an engine load and an engine rotational speed, and further a correction amount QG for correcting the basic discharge QK based on comparison of an actual fuel pressure PT with a target pressure Po is learnt for every driving conditions. Then, the basic discharge QK is corrected with the correction amount QG, whereas in a transient condition, the basic discharge QK is corrected with a transient correction amount QT set on the basis of a variation rate .DELTA.PT Of the fuel pressure PT. Thus, it is possible to ensure that an amount of fuel required by an engine is surely supplied without excess fuel supply from the fuel pump.

  • Patent number: 5285639
    Abstract: Secondary air is supplied to a position upstream of a catalyst disposed in an exhaust passage of an engine. An oxygen sensor is disposed between a secondary air supply portion of the exhaust passage and the catalyst. The supply amount of the secondary air is feedback controlled so that the oxygen concentration in the exhaust gas detected by the oxygen sensor approaches a target value corresponding to a theoretical air/fuel ratio. A second oxygen sensor for air/fuel ratio control is disposed upstream of the secondary air supply portion. Air/fuel ratio feedback control adjusts the air/fuel ratio of air entering the engine so that the oxygen concentration at the second oxygen sensor approaches the same target value as at the other oxygen sensor.

  • Patent number: 5211148
    Abstract: An apparatus supplies assist air toward an injection nozzle of a fuel injection valve of an internal combustion engine, to atomize an injected fuel. The apparatus starts and stops supplying the assist air according to engine operating conditions while correcting ignition timing or an engine intake air quantity, to thereby suppress fluctuations in engine output.
