Abstract: In a drive unit of a fuel injection device, an electric current is supplied to the fuel injection device by applying a high voltage to the fuel injection device from a high voltage source whose voltage is boosted to a voltage higher than a battery voltage at the time of opening a valve of the fuel injection device. Thereafter, the electric current supplied to the fuel injection device is lowered to a current value at which a valve element cannot be held in a valve open state by stopping the applying of the high voltage from the high voltage source. Thereafter, in a stage where a supply current is switched to a hold current, another high voltage is applied to the fuel injection device from the high voltage source.

Abstract: Provided is a work machine that can selectively establish a closed circuit connection between a single rod-type hydraulic cylinder and a plurality of bidirectional-type hydraulic pumps, the work machine being capable of enhancing responsiveness of the single rod-type hydraulic cylinder when a high-speed lever switching operation is conducted in a state in which a rod pressure of the single rod-type hydraulic cylinder is higher than a bottom pressure.
