Patent number: 10968872Abstract: An exhaust gas recirculation valve warming device includes an exhaust throttle arranged in an exhaust passage, an exhaust gas recirculation passage that extends from a portion of the exhaust passage that is upstream of the exhaust throttle and is connected to an intake passage, an exhaust gas recirculation valve arranged in the exhaust gas recirculation passage, and a branch passage that extends from a portion of the exhaust gas recirculation passage that is upstream of the exhaust gas recirculation valve in a direction in which exhaust gas flows, in which the branch passage is connected to a portion of the exhaust passage that is downstream of the exhaust throttle. The exhaust gas recirculation valve includes a valve passage that forms part of the exhaust gas recirculation passage and a warming passage that forms part of the branch passage.Type: GrantFiled: February 28, 2020Date of Patent: April 6, 2021Assignee: TOYOTA JIDOSHA KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Keishi Nanno, Koichi Nishitani

Patent number: 10669905Abstract: A separation portion of an oil separator is located upward from an opening of a second blow-by gas passage portion in an outer surface of a cylinder block. A connection passage connects the separation portion and the second blow-by gas passage portion. At least part of the connection passage located toward the second blow-by gas passage portion serves as a first passage portion. The second blow-by gas passage portion and the first passage portion serve as an intermediate passage. A step is arranged in the intermediate passage at an intermediate portion with respect to an extension direction of the intermediate passage.Type: GrantFiled: March 18, 2019Date of Patent: June 2, 2020Assignee: TOYOTA JIDOSHA KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventor: Koichi Nishitani

Patent number: 9524354Abstract: A system to enable restoration of a tree structure based on serialized data, and extraction of partial data that includes information of the tree structure from original data. A searching part identifies sequence elements of serialized data using a searching process. An essential element string identifying part identifies a sequence element string (essential element string) that includes the searched sequence elements. A rear section identifying part identifies a sequence element string that includes sequence elements located after the essential element string and is required to form a subtree that includes nodes corresponding to all the sequence elements of the essential element string. A front section identifying part identifies a sequence element string that includes sequence elements located before the essential element string and is required to form a subtree that includes nodes corresponding to all the sequence elements of the essential element string.Type: GrantFiled: September 17, 2013Date of Patent: December 20, 2016Assignee: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Kansaku Nakakura, Koichi Nishitani, Lianzi Wen
