Abstract: If a wireless resource congestion occurs, the wireless resources of the entire system are used efficiently to reduce a disconnection of communication with a congested sector and a state in which a new call cannot be originated nor terminated. A base station control apparatus compares the wireless resource usage amount of each sector of each base station with values stored in a wireless resource threshold table. If a sector of a base station is in the light congestion state, the neighbor search window size of a sector specifying the congested sector as a neighbor is changed to restrict a soft hand-over to the congested sector. If a sector of a base station is in the heavy congestion state, a mobile station which is communicating in the congested sector and receiving radio waves of another sector with stability is subjected to a forced soft hand-over.

Abstract: Leakage of a combustion gas is prevented by installing a seal ring in an annular groove provided in the outer peripheral surface of a fuel injection valve. Further, a combustion gas leaked from the seal ring is sealed in by providing a seal washer more on the rear end side of the fuel injection valve than the seal ring. Thus a combustion gas seal for an injection valve is provided, and the combustion gas seal is capable of exhibiting excellent sealing ability for a long term with a simple structure.

Abstract: A neighbor sector is automatically set to effectively perform soft handover. A base station corresponding to a first sector to communicate with a wireless terminal and a base station corresponding to a second sector to start communication with the wireless terminal due to movement of the wireless terminal or the like transmit a terminal identifier acquired from the wireless terminal, a time and a sector identifier to a base station control part (control part in the following). The control part successively stores the received sector identifier into a table correspondingly to the terminal identifier and the time received from the base station. Besides, the control part refers to the table, judges whether different sector identifiers are stored in a previously determined time range, regards a pair of the two different sector identifiers as neighbor sector candidates and counts the number of times they are regarded as the neighbor sector candidates.

Abstract: An injector for directly injecting fuel into a cylinder of an internal combustion engine having a socket. The injector is provided with a nozzle insertable into the socket. An annular gap is defined between the nozzle and the socket when the nozzle is received in the socket. A first seal groove, formed in the nozzle, receives a first gas seal that seals the annular gap. A second seal groove, formed in the nozzle, receives a second gas seal that seals the annular gap. The second seal groove is formed closer to the distal end of the nozzle than the first seal groove. The depth of the second seal groove is greater than that of the first seal groove. This structure prevents the formation of deposits and maintains the sealing capability of the gas seals without lowering installation and maintenance efficiency.

Abstract: A delivery pipe of a fuel supply system for injectors mounted on a cylinder head is divided for each injector or a group of injectors. Divided pipe parts are coupled with each other through a flexible member to allow flexing of the delivery pipe. Each injector is connected with the delivery pipe through a flexible coupling member and with the cylinder head through a flexible cushioning member. Alternatively, a fuel passage is formed in the cylinder head in place of the delivery pipe to supply fuel to the injectors after heating in the cylinder head.

The recording medium includes a program, which includes predetermined approximate expressions. The predetermined approximate expressions recorded in the program correspond to the detecting diodes. The program causes the computer to compute an approximation value of input power to the waveguide using the respective predetermined approximate expressions and output voltages of the detecting diodes.

Abstract: In order to prevent fuel leakage from a high pressure fuel pipe at a low temperature, a sealing capacity of a seal member provided in a fuel transfer portion of a high pressure fuel pipe is estimated in accordance with various conditions and the fuel pressure within the high pressure fuel pipe is controlled on the basis of the estimated sealing capacity so as to secure a sealing property in the fuel transfer portion.

Abstract: A temperature distribution of fuel flowing through a delivery pipe is detected by two fuel temperature sensors provided in the delivery pipe and a fuel tank. When this temperature distribution exceeds an allowable range, adjusted pressure pumping processing in which an amount of fuel corresponding to an injection amount is pumped is stopped and quantitative pressure pumping processing is begun. In quantitative pressure pumping, a rate of fuel flowing through the delivery pipe is increased to an amount exceeding an amount of fuel injected from injectors. With this feature, an amount of fuel flowing through the delivery pipe is greatly increased, a temperature rise rate due to thermal energy from the engine is lowered, and the range of temperature distribution of fuel is narrowed down as a whole. Therefore, differences in output torque among the cylinders is reduced, and variations in the revolution of the engine are suppressed or prevented.

Abstract: Deformation of a delivery pipe in which injectors for injecting fuel into the combustion chambers of corresponding cylinders in an internal combustion engine are accommodated, is suppressed, thereby preventing deterioration of the fuel sealing. At least two mounting portions are provided on respective lengths of the delivery pipes that extend outward from opposite ends of a length of the delivery pipe along which injector-inserting portions are disposed for accommodating the injections. This arrangement of the mounting portions prevents deformation of at least the length of the delivery pipe in which the injector-inserting portions are disposed, thereby preventing deterioration of the fuel sealing between the injectors and the injector-inserting portions of the delivery pipe which could otherwise be caused by high-pressure fuel, thermal contractions at very low temperatures, or the like.
