  • Patent number: 5763868
    Abstract: An optical card including a card substrate having a recess, and an optical recording member including, in the following order, a surface hard layer, a transparent protective layer, a pattern layer, and an optical recording material layer. The optical recording member is embedded in the recess through an adhesive layer so that the optical recording material layer is in contact with the adhesive layer. The end face of the optical recording member and the side face of the recess of the card substrate respectively have particular tapers facing each other. The optical recording member is embedded in the recess of the card substrate so that the end face of the optical recording member is not exposed from the card substrate.

  • Patent number: 4730457
    Abstract: A supercharging system has a turbocharger driven by exhaust-gas of the engine, a supercharger driven by an engine and communicated with the turbocharger and the engine in series. A clutch is provided in a device for driving the supercharger and a bypass having a control valve is provided around the supercharger. A control unit is provided to respond to engine operating conditions for operating the clutch and the control valve. The control unit operates to disengage the clutch at light load on the engine in a predetermined low engine speed range, to engage the clutch at heavy load in the low engine speed range, and to disengage the clutch in a predetermined high engine speed range. The control valve is gradually opened in accordance with variation of engine operation conditions when the engine operation is in a transient state.

  • Patent number: 4452209
    Abstract: An air-fuel ratio control system for a vehicle powered by an internal combustion engine having an emission control system with a three-way catalytic converter for controlling the air-fuel ratio in accordance with the operation of the engine. A vacuum sensor detects heavy load operation of the engine, and an engine speed detecting circuit and a predetermined voltage supply circuit are provided. The engine speed detecting circuit is so arranged as to produce an output when the engine speed is lower than a predetermined value. A feedback control circuit is provided for controlling the air-fuel ratio to the stoichiometric air-fuel ratio in normal operating conditions. A first switch device is actuated by the output of the vacuum sensor to connect the output of the predetermined voltage supply circuit with the input of the feedback control circuit when heavy load operation is detected and to render the feedback control circuit inoperative.

  • Patent number: 4408584
    Abstract: An air-fuel ratio control system for an internal combustion engine having an O.sub.2 -sensor for detecting the concentration of oxygen of exhaust gases passing through the exhaust passage, an electromagnetic valve for correcting the air-fuel ratio of the air-fuel mixture supplied by a carburetor, a feedback control circuit comprising a judging circuit for judging an output signal of the O.sub.2 -sensor and a driving circuit for driving the electromagnetic valve in dependency on an output signal of the judging circuit for controlling the air-fuel ratio to a value approximately to the stoichiometric air-fuel ratio. A Maximum and minimum value hold circuits respectively hold a maximum and a minimum value in one cycle of output variation of the detector. A first comparator compares the outputs of both hold circuits. A second comparator compares the output of the O.sub.2 -sensor with a predetermined level. A gate circuit is responsive to the output signals of the comparators for producing gate control signals.
