Abstract: Multiple injection holes are formed in an injection hole plate. Each injection hole penetrates the injection hole plate. The injection hole is formed with an inlet side opening and an outlet side opening. The outlet side opening is formed in the shape of a flattened rectangle having a major axis and a minor axis. Therefore, the fuel flowing into the injection hole through the inlet side opening is injected in the shape of a film from the outlet side opening. Thus, liquid film splitting is promoted, so atomization of the fuel is promoted. Since the multiple injection holes are formed in the injection hole plate, the shape of a great fuel spray, which is formed by combining fuel sprays injected from the respective injection holes, can be adjusted easily.

Abstract: In a fuel injection device, an injection bore plate has a first surface to which inlets of injection bores are opened and a second surface positioned on a side of a valve seat with respect to the first surface so that a step is formed between the first and second surfaces. The step serves to restrict fuel flow from the second surface so that the fuel is allowed to flow toward the injection bores in the first surface. Parallel flow of fuel causes to strengthen fuel stream and circular force is given to the fuel since the fuel hits against the step, which results in promoting atomization of fuel, even if each of the injection bores is formed simply in a column shape.

Abstract: In an injection hole plate of a fuel injection apparatus, a second-side hole section of each injection hole extends from a downstream end of a base wall of the injection hole plate and is communicated with first-side hole sections, which extends from an upstream end of the wall of the injection hole plate to an axially intermediate point of the wall. The first-side hole sections may discharge fuel into the second-side hole section in a manner that forms a swirl fuel flow in the second-side hole section. The injection hole plate may includes a collision portion, in which fuel flows supplied from the first-side hole sections collide with one another.

Abstract: In an injection hole plate of a fuel injection device, injection holes are arranged about a circle. Fuel injected from the injection holes forms a flat sector-shaped spray. The intervals between adjacent injection holes are approximately equal to each other, while the diameters of the injection holes are equal to each other. An injection hole is positioned on an imaginary plane, which contains the central axis of the sector-shaped spray along the injection direction and is orthogonal or approximately orthogonal to the sector-shaped spray. The injection holes, away from the imaginary plane in this order, are symmetric with respect to the line of intersection of the injection hole plate and the imaginary plane. The farther each injection hole is away from the imaginary plane, the larger an angle of gradient of the injection hole with respect to the imaginary plane becomes.

Abstract: A holographic particle-measuring apparatus is provided that can improve the precision of measurement by photographing only particles through the elimination of noise. In an off-axis holographic optical image pick-up device (100), object beams (L1) that is a flux of parallel beams are irradiated onto particles (114) as a subject. At the same time, reference beams (L2) are incident, with an inclination, onto the object beams (L1) after being irradiated onto the particles (114). An interference fringe generated as a result of the interference between the object beams (L1) and the reference beams (L2) is recorded onto a recording material Noise elimination relay lenses (116a and 116b) are installed between the particles (114) and the recording material (115). Further, a noise elimination pinhole plate (117) having a pinhole (118) is installed between the lenses (116a and 116b) constituting the relay lens.

Abstract: In an accumulator fuel injection device pulsating of pressure is suppressed and fluctuation of fuel injection is prevented by providing flow rate control means such as an orifice generating a flow rate regulated at a fuel passage of a diesel engine. The device supplies fuel to injectors of cylinders from a pump pressurizing the fuel to a high pressure through a common rail which can stock high pressure fuel or through a corresponding fuel passage having a large volume.

Abstract: An electric heater comprises a central electrode and a ring electrode with a honeycomb heat generator disposed therebetween. The honeycomb heat generator is formed by winding a conductive foil strip around the central electrode until the size of the rolled honeycomb body just fits to the ring electrode. The surface of the conductive foil strip is coated by an insulating material, thereby preventing a short circuit between two layers of the conductive foil strip wound around the central electrode. A plurality of bonding parts are provided to electrically connect adjacent layers of the conductive foil strip wound around the central electrode. The bonding parts are disposed along a plurality of bonding lines extending across the layers of the conductive foil strip. The bonding parts are disposed on every other bonding line along each layer of the conductive foil strip.
