Abstract: A vibration motor includes a stationary part, and a movable element which has a magnet and can vibrate in one direction. The stationary part includes a coil which applies a driving force to the magnet due to energization, a housing which houses the movable element and the coil therein, a first lid part which closes an end portion of the housing on one side in the one direction, and a first bearing part. The first bearing part is disposed inside the housing on the other side in the one direction from the first lid part. The first bearing part includes a bearing inner circumferential surface disposed with a gap therebetween with respect to an outer circumferential surface of a portion of the movable element on one side in the one direction.

Abstract: The combustion air-fuel ratio is made leaner than the stoichiometric air-fuel ratio at the time of engine startup and the combustion air-fuel ratio is made richer than the stoichiometric air-fuel ratio and the exhaust downstream part of the three-way catalyst apparatus is raised in temperature when it is judged that just the exhaust upstream part of the three-way catalyst apparatus arranged in the engine exhaust system has been raised to the catalyst activation temperature.

Abstract: The exhaust gas purifying catalysts sometimes generate H2S which emits exhaust odor under reducing atmosphere. However, in the ordinary air-fuel ratio control, it takes much time to establish sufficient oxygen atmosphere for suppressing H2S emission when the maximum oxygen storage amount which the exhaust gas purifying catalyst can store is large. Thus, the fuel cut control apparatus of an internal combustion engine executes fuel cut to bring oxygen in the exhaust gas into an excessive state when the maximum oxygen storage amount is a predetermined amount or more. As a result, sufficient oxygen can be stored in the exhaust gas purifying catalyst. Even when the maximum oxygen storage amount of the exhaust gas purifying catalyst is smaller than the predetermined amount, if the temperature of the exhaust gas purifying catalyst is lower than predetermined temperature, fuel cut is executed.
