  • Patent number: 9803581
    Abstract: Provided is an exhaust gas purifying apparatus capable of making a filter entrance temperature reach a target temperature while suppressing excessive temperature increases and release of THC even upon extension of the exhaust path or decreases in outside air temperature. The exhaust gas purifying apparatus includes an oxidation catalyst 18 and a filter 19 that are placed in an exhaust path 5 of an engine 1, a fuel injection device 13 for injecting fuel in accordance with a fuel injection pattern, and a control device 50 configured to be capable of setting the fuel injection pattern including post-injection, wherein an upper-limit value of post-injection quantity increases with decreasing outside air temperature and/or with elongating path length of the exhaust path 5.

  • Patent number: 5539819
    Abstract: A credit card capable of automatic dialing by generating DTMF signals. The credit card is comprised of two thin plastic boards 2 and 3 adhering to each other. The plastic board 2 includes a magnetic stripe 11, while the plastic board 3 includes a solar power battery 21, paper speaker (SP) 22, dial selection key 23 and a circuit board 25. When the dial selection key 23 is pressed, the DTMF signals are generated based on the corresponding telephone number, and outputted from the SP 22. Desired telephone numbers inputted by a user can be stored by using EEPROM 102, four buttons 101 and dial selection buttons 23.

  • Patent number: 5369700
    Abstract: This disclosure relates to a multi-function telephone apparatus and a control method therefor. When an application program (hereinafter referred to as program) stored in an IC card is executed, a state of the program execution and an incoming/outgoing call are supervised. It is controlled in a way that the execution of the program is automatically suppressed at the time of incoming/outgoing call and restarted from the point it was suppressed when the telephone was completed. Further, when the terminal emulation program stored in the IC card emulates the telephone apparatus as a terminal of the host system, the communication with the host is efficiently executed with reduction of the line load.
