The apparatus includes an imbalance determining unit programmed to determine imbalance in an air-fuel ratio of a first cylinder belonging to a cylinder group based upon a difference value between an index value correlative with a crank angular speed detected in the first cylinder and an index value correlative with a crank angular speed detected in a second cylinder belonging to another cylinder group, and further a correction unit programmed to correct the difference value for the first cylinder based upon the index value detected in at least one of other cylinders belonging to the same cylinder group as that of the first cylinder.

Abstract: A supercharging system includes an internal combustion engine, a supercharger, and an electronic control unit configured to compute an integrated value of the intake air amount during a predetermined period on the basis of a detected result of a first sensor. The predetermined period is a period from a start of an increase in the supercharging pressure to an end of the increase at the time when the intake air amount is increased in a state where no command to reduce the supercharging pressure by a supercharging pressure reduction mechanism is issued. The electronic control unit is configured to acquire a peak supercharging pressure from a detected result of a second sensor. The electronic control unit is configured to determine whether the supercharging system has an abnormality on the basis of the integrated value of the intake air amount and the peak supercharging pressure.

Abstract: In a tomographic image photographing apparatus, a deformation of a volume image is corrected accurately even if an object to be inspected moves when the volume image is acquired. An image processing apparatus acquires a tomographic image of the object to be inspected from combined light beams of return light beams, which is obtained by irradiating the object to be inspected with a plurality of measuring light beams, and corresponding reference light beams.
