Abstract: An apparatus for delivering a virus action suppressing component performs, when delivering an active ingredient including a virus action suppressing component into a space, detecting a humidity in the space, determining whether the humidity in the space is equal to or higher than a first set value, and increasing an amount of the active ingredient delivered into the space when the humidity in the space is equal to or higher than the first set value, compared to when the humidity in the space is less than the first set value. This can increase the effect of suppressing the action of viruses when the humidity is high.

Abstract: In an engine provided with a variable valve mechanism which varies an operating angle of an intake valve and a lift amount thereof, when an engine operation is automatically stopped after the establishment of an idling stop condition, the operating angle of the intake valve and the lift amount thereof are varied to be smaller, so that a load of the variable valve mechanism at an engine operation restarting time is low. Then, when the engine operation restarting is requested, a first explosion pressure is obtained by performing fuel injection and ignition on a cylinder stopped in an expansion stroke, so that the engine operation is started. Further, after a first intake stroke, the operating angle of the intake valve and the lift amount thereof are increased.

Abstract: A fuel swirler positioned upstream of an injection orifice is disposed at the tip of a nozzle body in a fuel injector, in which the fixed core and the nozzle body are coupled to each other via a non-magnetic cylindrical seal ring press-fitted and welded to the outer circumference of one end on the nozzle body side of the fixed core and the inner circumference of one end of the nozzle body. The inner circumference of the fuel swirler and the inner circumference of the seal ring function serve as a guide for slidably guiding a stroke movement of the needle.

Abstract: The target peak current value, where a current value is reduced in conformity to a drop in the voltage of a battery 18 is stored in target peak current storage unit 68. ON-signals are sent from current control circuit 56 to power transistor 50 in response to the injection command pulse coming from engine controller 58 so that current is applied to coil 20. Then, the current flowing to coil 20 is detected by the current detecting resistor 52. Comparator 62 compares this detected current and the target peak current value read from the target peak current storage unit 68 conforming to the voltage of battery 18. If agreement is found between these two values, OFF-signals are sent to power transistor 50 from current control circuit 56 in response to the switching command coming from comparator 62. Then, On/Off signals to effect holding of the coil 20 are sent from current control circuit 56 to power transistor 50. The linearity of the injection volume despite changes in battery voltage can be maintained.

Abstract: An electromagnetic fuel injection valve in an engine injects fuel by opening/closing a fuel flowing path with a valve element. A controller controls opening/closing of the fuel flowing path and changes magnetic force generated by a control coil driving the valve element so that the magnetic force is less during a valve open state-holding period than at an initial valve-opening time. The controller detects the voltage of a battery and applies the voltage fed from the battery to the control coil, while changing a time interval (Tc), for which current is passed through the control coil, based on the detected voltage, in order to change the magnetic force, without raising the voltage from the battery. The controller also detects increase/decrease of a pressing force on the valve element caused by fuel pressure and changes the time interval (Tc) accordingly.
