Abstract: A control device for an engine includes an air-fuel ratio detector detecting an air-fuel ratio of an exhaust gas of the engine. A feedback controller performs a feedback control of an amount of a fuel injection of mixed fuel including alcohol so that the air-fuel ratio detected by the air-fuel ratio detector is come close to a target air-fuel ratio, the mixed fuel supplied from a fuel feeder. A concentration estimator estimates a concentration of the alcohol in the mixed fuel based on the air-fuel ratio of the exhaust gas and a correction amount for the amount of the fuel injection controlled by the feedback control. A malfunction determiner determines that the fuel feeder has a malfunction when the correction amount is greater than or equal to a value for a period which is longer than a first period in a second period. The second period is from a first time point when the feedback controller starts to perform the feedback control.

Abstract: When the opening angle of an intake control valve is limited to a given opening angle by fuel cut, an EGR apparatus is activated, and a malfunction of the EGR apparatus is diagnosed on the basis of a change in intake manifold pressure before and after the activation of the EGR apparatus. When the control for reducing the intake-manifold negative pressure is not implemented, the change of the intake manifold pressure is corrected with a changing amount of first reference intake pressure (P(Ne)) changed by engine speed Ne. When the control for reducing the intake manifold genitive pressure is implemented, the change of the intake manifold pressure is corrected with a changing amount of second reference intake pressure (PL(Ne)) changed by engine speed Ne.

Abstract: In a fuel cut period, an adsorbed CO quantity calculation section calculates the amount CATco of CO adsorbed on a catalyst, and an exhaust O2 quantity calculation section calculates the amount GASo2 of O2 in exhaust gases. CO oxidation reaction heat ?Hr produced when the calculated amount CATco of absorbed CO reacts with the calculated amount GASo2 of O2 in the exhaust gases is calculated by a ?Hr calculation section, and used in estimation of the temperature of the catalyst.

Abstract: A resin film comprising (A) an epoxy resin having two or more glycidyl groups in a molecule, (B) an epoxy resin curing agent, (C) a thermoplastic resin, and (D) a filler, wherein the filler content in at least either one of the surface regions on the cross-section of the film is less than the filler concentration in the central region. The resin film has not only toughness but also fire retardancy, high interlayer adhesion strength and good processability of metal plating.

Abstract: An epoxy resin composition comprising a phosphorus-containing epoxy resin and an aromatic polysulfone resin. The epoxy resin composition gives an cured product has not only excellent toughness but also high flame retardancy and high heat resistance, and is advantageous as an insulation material for a multi-layer printed wiring board, particularly, as an insulation material for a build up substrate.

Abstract: Provided is a simple process for producing a thermosetting resin varnish comprising a thermosetting resin (A), an aromatic polysulfone resin (B) and an organic solvent (C), wherein a heat processing is conducted at a time of mixing the components (A) and (B) and/or after mixing the components (A) and (B). The varnish has excellent preservation stability.
