Abstract: A work vehicle includes a vehicle body, a guiding pipe, a first heating section, and a second heating section. The vehicle body has a partition wall that partitions a space in an inner section into a first region and a second region. The guiding pipe is configured to guide a reducing agent. The guiding pipe has a first pipe section and a second pipe section. The first pipe section is positioned inside the first region. The second pipe section is positioned in the second region. The first heating section heats the first pipe section. The second heating section heats the second pipe section and adjusts the temperature independently from the first heating section.

Abstract: There are provided calculating a differential pressure deposition amount of PM deposited in a DPF based on an exhaust gas flow rate and a differential pressure of the DPF, calculating a model deposition amount of the PM using a model in which a PM amount burned in the DPF is subtracted from the PM amount, calculating a time change rate of the differential pressure deposition amount, and setting a first coefficient to be larger than a second coefficient when the exhaust gas flow rate exceeds a predetermined value and setting the first coefficient to be small when the exhaust gas flow rate exceeds the predetermined value and the time change rate is a predetermined threshold or more when multiplying the differential pressure deposition amount and the model deposition amount by the first and second coefficients, respectively, and calculating an addition value of the respective multiplied values as the PM deposition amount.

Abstract: The invention provides a reporter gene assay method by which the sex hormone-like activity inherent in a test substance can be accurately assayed excluding the effects caused by a decrease in cell activity (protein expressing capacity). The assay method is a reporter gene assay method using luciferase-expressing cells which comprises further transferring a GFP gene into the luciferase-expressing cells, measuring the luciferase expression level and GFP expression level, and making a judgment about the thus-measured luciferase expression level using the decrease in GFP expression level as an indication of the decrease in cell activity.

Abstract: a sleeve puller for pulling out a sleeve inserted in a panel, the sleeve having an inner wall that defines a hole, the sleeve puller including: a sleeve-engaging rod having a distal end and integrally including a sleeve-engaging portion, a screw rod continuous with the sleeve-engaging portion, and a wrenching portion continuous with the screw rod and opposite from the sleeve-engaging portion across the screw rod, the sleeve-engaging portion having a screw thread therein and having a tapered shape having a diameter smaller toward the distal end of the sleeve-engaging rod; a nut support including a slidable surface, a nut supporting surface opposite from the slidable surface, and a through hole extending throughout the nut support from the slidable surface to the nut supporting surface so as to allow the screw rod of the sleeve-engaging rod to be inserted therethrough; and a nut.

Abstract: An exhaust purifying system for an engine includes: a soot filter being provided to a PM filter device to collect PM contained in exhaust gas; a regeneration execution judging unit being provided to a controller to decide whether or not the soot filter should be regenerated; an air cooled aftercooler that cools intake air being supercharged by a turbocharger; a cooling fan that supplies cooling air to the aftercooler and a forced-regeneration fan rotation speed controlling unit being provided to the controller to lower the rotation speed of the cooling fan when the regeneration execution judging unit decides that the soot filter needs to be regenerated.

Abstract: In order to provide a construction machine by which energy regeneration can be performed reliably and battery and electrical power generator can be miniaturized, a construction machine has an engine, a hydraulic pump driven by the engine, and an actuator driven by discharge oil from the hydraulic pump, and a regenerative motor which rotates by return oil from the actuator is connected to the rotation shaft of the hydraulic pump. The hydraulic pump is driven by the engine and the regenerative motor when drive torque necessary in the hydraulic pump is larger than output torque generated by operation of the regenerative motor.

Abstract: A cylinder head for an internal combustion engine includes a plurality of cooling water passages through which cooling water for cooling the cylinder head is injected. Each of the cooling water passages is so arranged that cooling water injected therethrough is caused to unidirectionally swirl around an outer wall for a fitting hole through which a fuel injection nozzle is fitted. Thus, there is no fear that stagnation of water stream due to collision of water streams flowing around the outer wall for the fuel injection fitting hole occurs or bubbles are produced. This leads to reduction of resistance against flowing of cooling water whereby a cooling efficiency of cooling water for the cylinder head can be increased.
