Abstract: A NOx catalyst is provided on an exhaust passage of an engine. The NOx catalyst reduces the occluded NOx when an air-fuel ratio of exhaust gas is in the vicinity of a stoichiometric air-fuel ratio or in a richer state than the stoichiometric air-fuel ratio. Turbocharging is executed by turbochargers. In a low load region within the reduction execution region, a target air-fuel ratio is achieved, as required for NOx reduction, by air amount adjustment with an air amount control valve provided on an intake passage. Since a large amount of air is needed in the high load region within the reduction execution region, the target air-fuel ratio is achieved by air amount adjustment using turbocharging pressure control.

Abstract: A pressure reducing valve control apparatus is provided for a fuel supply system having a common rail and a pressure reducing valve to control rail pressure in the common rail by controlling a current supply state of the pressure reducing valve. The pressure reducing valve operates to open a valve body for discharging fuel from the common rail against a biasing force applied in a valve-closing direction by fuel-generated valve-opening force biasing the valve body in a valve-opening direction by the rail pressure and an electromagnetic force generated by current supply to an electromagnetic coil. The ECU starts to open the valve body during a period of holding a hold value by holding current supplied to the electromagnetic coil at a predetermined hold value after starting current supply to the electromagnetic coil. The ECU sets the hold value to increase as the rail pressure decreases.

Each off-diagonal element of the symmetric dissimilarity matrix is specific to a pair of two different business components and (I) includes an only dissimilarity measure assigned to the pair of two different business components, (ii) includes a mean of dissimilarity measures assigned to the pair of two different business components, or (iii) is blank which denotes that no dissimilarity measure has been assigned to the pair of two different business components. A rotatable spatial distribution of the business components, derived from the symmetric dissimilarity matrix, is displayed to a user who subsequently selects one or more business components for usage in a manner that reflects the spatial distances between the displayed business components.
