  • Patent number: 10450923
    Abstract: An exhaust gas control apparatus for an internal combustion engine is provided. The exhaust gas control apparatus is equipped with a NOx reduction catalyst, a reducing agent tank, a reducing agent supply device, a booster, a heater, and an electronic control unit. The electronic control unit is configured to perform control of raising a temperature of a reducing agent to a first target temperature such that the reducing agent supplied by the reducing agent supply device is brought into a gas-liquid mixed state in an exhaust passage, when energy of exhaust gas is lower than a first threshold.

  • Publication number: 20090297706
    Abstract: An obstruct of this invention is to make it possible to form a metal-oxide film or a metal-nitride film having less oxygen deficit at a high deposition rate with improved repeatability and to downsize a film forming system as well. The film forming system in accordance with this invention comprises a chamber 3 inside of which a substrate 2 is held and an injection valve 4 that directly injects the liquid precursor into the chamber 3, wherein the liquid precursor is a mixed solution composed of a metallic compound and a low boiling point organic compound, and a pressure in the chamber 3 is made to be both larger than a vapor pressure of the metallic compound prior to being mixed with the low boiling point organic compound and smaller than a vapor pressure of the mixed solution.

  • Publication number: 20090092741
    Abstract: The present claimed invention is a film forming system 1 that forms a film by vaporizing a liquid precursor and then depositing the vaporized liquid precursor on a substrate 2, and comprises a chamber 3 inside of which the substrate 2 is held, an injection valve 4 that directly injects the liquid precursor into the chamber 3, and a control unit 11 that alternately sets a supplying period while the liquid precursor is directly injected into the chamber 3 to supply the liquid precursor in a vaporized state and a supply halt period while the liquid precursor is not supplied into the chamber 3 and controls the supplying period and the supply halt period by periodically opening and closing the injection valve 4 so as to intermittently supply the liquid precursor into the chamber 3, and is characterized by that the control unit 11 controls the supply halt period to be equal to or longer than a migration/evaporation period necessary for atoms or molecules of the liquid precursor deposited on the substrate 2 to migra

  • Publication number: 20080095936
    Abstract: An obstruct of this invention is to downsize a chamber, consequently a film forming system, to improve a film thickness distribution and to improve throughput of film forming by increasing the amount of the vaporized liquid precursor. The film forming system 1 is to form a film by vaporizing a liquid precursor and then depositing the vaporized liquid precursor on a substrate W, and comprises a chamber 2 inside of which the substrate W is held and multiple injection valves 3 that are arranged at different positions in the chamber 2 and that directly inject the identical liquid precursor in the chamber 2, vaporize the identical liquid precursor by flash boiling and then supply the vaporized liquid precursor.

  • Patent number: 7110878
    Abstract: A differential pressure type emission flow rate measuring method and apparatus and an emission measuring system are capable of correcting measuring error occurring due to pulsation appropriately and enhancing the measuring precision of flow rate. In measuring the flow rate of an emission exhausted from an engine, an accurate flow rate in spite of pulsation is determined by using a differential pressure type flowmeter. The detected differential pressure signal is resolved by frequency, and is corrected by using a correction coefficient predetermined depending on each frequency obtained by frequency resolution.

  • Publication number: 20050080550
    Abstract: The invention presents a differential pressure type emission flow rate measuring method and apparatus and an emission measuring system using the same apparatus, capable of correcting measuring error occurring due to pulsation appropriately and enhancing the measuring precision of flow rate when measuring the flow rate of emission having pulsation. The invention, in measuring the flow rate of an emission exhausted from an engine, determines an accurate flow rate in spite of pulsation by using a differential pressure type flowmeter as the flowmeter, resolving the detected differential pressure signal by frequency, and correcting by using a correction coefficient predetermined depending on each frequency obtained by frequency resolution.

  • Publication number: 20020167552
    Abstract: A value of image processing parameter is set according to movement of a pointing device and image processing of an image to be displayed is carried out on the basis of the value of the image processing parameter set. To designate parameter control information which governs the kind of image processing parameter the value of which is changed in response to movement of the pointing device in a given direction and/or whether the image processing parameter is increased or decreased in response to movement of the pointing device in a given direction is made feasible. The designated parameter control information is stored, the value of the image processing parameter is set according to the stored parameter control information in response to movement of the pointing device, and image processing is carried out on the basis of the image processing parameter set.
