Patent number: 11959407Abstract: A detection device detecting collapse of PM collected in a filter provided in an exhaust system flow path of an internal combustion engine includes: a differential pressure sensor configured to acquire a differential pressure between an exhaust inlet side and an exhaust outlet side of the filter; a water generation determination unit configured to determine whether water is generated in the exhaust system flow path; and a PM collapse determination unit configured to determine that at least a part of the PM collected in the filter has collapsed when a PM accumulation amount estimated based on the acquired differential pressure has increased by a predetermined amount or more within a predetermined period in a state where the PM accumulation amount estimated based on the acquired differential pressure is equal to or larger than a predetermined first threshold and the water generation determination unit has determined that water is generated.Type: GrantFiled: December 25, 2019Date of Patent: April 16, 2024Assignee: ISUZU MOTORS LIMITEDInventors: Daiki Ishii, Naofumi Ochi, Takanobu Ogawa, Yuta Kageyama, Akira Matsutani, Hitoshi Sato

Patent number: 9889083Abstract: The present invention provides a two-part hair cosmetic material having a reduced irritating smell due to ammonia. Specifically, the present invention relates to a two-part hair cosmetic material comprising a first agent containing an alkali agent and a second agent containing an oxidizing agent, wherein the first agent contains the following ingredients: (A) a polyoxyethylene alkyl ether having a polyoxyethylene chain length of 50 or more, (B) a higher alcohol, and (C) a polyoxyethylene alkyl ether having a polyoxyethylene chain length shorter than the polyoxyethylene chain length of the polyoxyethylene alkyl ether (A), and the content of a higher alcohol having 20 or more carbon atoms in the higher alcohol (B) is 1.0% by weight or less based on the weight of the first agent.Type: GrantFiled: April 29, 2015Date of Patent: February 13, 2018Assignee: Henkel AG & Co.
