  • Patent number: 10655613
    Abstract: When a condition for reducing a noise caused in the high-pressure pump is satisfied, a reduction control unit implements a noise reduction control to supply a smaller power to reduce a moving speed of a movable portion in a close acting direction to put a valve body into a closed state for a predetermined time after an energization start timing of a solenoid in a plunger rising period. A closing control unit causes a closing current, which is a constant current for surely putting the valve body into the closed state, to flow the closing current in the solenoid when the noise reduction control is completed in the plunger rising period. The predetermined time is shorter than an energization period in which a current flows in the solenoid.

  • Patent number: 10652600
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a method generates actions for entities found on a video delivery system based on information for user behavior of a user on the video delivery system and generates probabilities for the actions for the entities based on the actions for the entities and the user behavior. A probability for an action indicates the probability the user would select that action for an entity when compared against other actions in the set of actions for the set of entities. The method then selects an action feed based on the probabilities for the set of actions. The action feed includes at least a portion of the actions for the entities. The action feed is outputted to the client for display on an interface where an action on an entity in the action feed is performed by the video delivery system when selected by the user on the interface.
