Abstract: A driving system for a first vehicle comprises a first and second sensor configured to obtain proximity data for one or more vehicles proximate the first vehicle, and a processor in communication with the first and second sensors and programmed to perform the functions of identifying a plurality of vehicles in a first field-of-view instance based on the proximity data, wherein the plurality of vehicles in the first field-of-view has a trajectory to approach a second field-of-view instance based on the proximity data, and adjusting a vehicle maneuver in response to one of the plurality of vehicles being absent from the second field-of-view instance.

Abstract: A fuel injector nozzle is provided which includes an injector nozzle body having a distal end portion in which a plurality of pairs of injection holes are formed, such that each pair of injection holes are spaced from each other in an axial direction of the nozzle body, and such that injection axes of each pair of injection holes intersect with each other at a point outside of the nozzle body. According to the present invention, jets of fuel that are ejected from each pair of injection holes collide with each other immediately after passing through exits of the injection holes, such that a crossed axes angle &thgr; formed by the injection axes of each pair of injection holes is in a range of 30°≦&thgr;≦80°.

Abstract: A portable temperature data recorder for temporarily storing plural sets of temperature data representative of temperatures at a single location or at different locations, and automatically transferring the stored temperature data to a data processing unit. The portable recorder has a connector for connection thereof to the data processing unit. The portable recorder may further have a connector for connection thereof to a stationary temperature detector or thermometer installed at each measurement location. Alternatively, the temperature recorder incorporate a temperature detector for measuring the temperatures at the measurement locations. A clock circuit may be provided in the portable recorder, so that the temperature data may be stored together with measurement time data. The temperature detector may be a radiation thermometer provided at the measurement location, or built in the portable recorder.
