  • Patent number: 12146433
    Abstract: A controller for a hydrogen engine controls a hydrogen engine including a selective catalytic reduction (SCR) device installed in an exhaust passage and a urea addition valve that adds urea to exhaust gas flowing through a portion of the exhaust passage upstream of the SCR device. Processing circuitry of the controller executes a reduction process that causes a urea addition amount of the urea addition valve to be smaller when a urea deposition amount of the SCR device is greater than or equal to a prescribed value than when the urea deposition amount is less than the prescribed value. The processing circuitry executes a lean-burn limiting process that sets an air-fuel ratio of an air-fuel mixture to be burned in the hydrogen engine to a value less than or equal to a prescribed lean-burn limiting value while the reduction process is reducing the urea addition amount.

  • Publication number: 20240373675
    Abstract: To provide a display device capable of performing image processing. Each pixel is provided with a memory circuit in which desired correction data is retained. The correction data is generated by calculation in an external device and written to each pixel. The correction data is added to image data by capacitive coupling and supplied to a display element. Thus, the display element can display a corrected image. Through the correction, image upconversion can be performed, or image quality decreased because of variations in pixel transistor characteristics can be corrected.
