  • Publication number: 20240013596
    Abstract: The abnormal noise diagnosis support system includes an acquisition module and a processing module. The acquisition module is configured to acquire a plurality of assumed locations of the abnormal noise in the diagnosis target vehicle, at least one assumed abnormal noise at each of the assumed locations, and an assumed frequency of the abnormal noise at each of the assumed locations. The processing module is programmed to superimpose the assumed frequency for each of the assumed locations on an image of the diagnosis target vehicle and to cause a display module to display the superimposed image. And the processing module is programmed to play back the assumed abnormal noise corresponding to the selected assumed location and to cause a noise output module to output the assumed abnormal noise played back when the user selects any one of the assumed locations.

  • Patent number: 10954902
    Abstract: An internal combustion engine includes a cylinder block including a cylinder, a cylinder head including an intake port, the intake port communicating with the cylinder, an intake manifold fixed to the cylinder head, the intake manifold being configured to supply intake air into the cylinder, and a dynamic vibration absorber configured to suppress vibration of the intake manifold. A direction that is orthogonal to both a central axis of the cylinder and a rotational axis of a crankshaft of the internal combustion engine is defined as a width direction. The dynamic vibration absorber is attached to the intake manifold on an opposite side of a center of gravity of the intake manifold from the cylinder head in the width direction.
