Abstract: A nozzle body has an injection hole configured to inject fuel and a fuel passage connecting to the injection hole. A needle is configured to open and close the fuel passage to switch between fuel injection from the injection hole and stop of the fuel injection. An injection hole axis is an imaginary line extending along a center of the injection hole. An injection hole perpendicular cross section is a cross section of the injection hole perpendicular to the injection hole axis. The injection hole perpendicular cross section has a flat shape. The injection hole perpendicular cross section has an area that gradually expands from an inlet of the injection hole to an outlet of the injection hole while maintaining a similar shape.

Abstract: At least one of nozzle holes is provided as a non-circular nozzle hole where the ratio of the longest diameter to the shortest diameter of an outlet opening portion is greater than 1. A virtual non-circular cone and a virtual circular cone are defined for each of the non-circular nozzle hole and a circular nozzle hole where the ratio of the longest diameter to the shortest diameter of the outlet opening portion is 1. At least two adjacent nozzle holes are formed such that the virtual non-circular cone does not interfere with the virtual circular cone or the virtual non-circular cone.

Abstract: A fuel injection control device includes an additional energization unit. Concerning an undershoot state caused by a first energization for fuel injection, a return period is an estimated period required for a movable core to return to an initial position from a first energization. An injection interval ranges from the first energization to a second energization that is for a next fuel injection. An allowable period is obtained by subtracting a rise period estimated for the second energization from the return period. The additional energization unit adds an additional energization between the first energization and the second energization when the injection interval is longer than or equal to the allowable period and is shorter than or equal to the return period.

Abstract: An injection hole has an injection hole passage communicating an inner opening with an outer opening. The inner opening is smaller than the outer opening in cross-sectional area. The needle moves in a valve closing direction to abut against a valve seat to restrict a flow of fuel through the injection hole. A first inner wall of the injection hole is located on a valve closing direction side relative to an injection hole axis. A second inner wall of the injection hole is located on an opposite side of the injection hole axis from the valve closing direction side. The injection hole passage is defined by the first inner wall and the second inner wall.

Abstract: A vehicle seat includes a seat frame; a seat pad; a seat cover; and a support member. An end of the support member is hooked over a receiving portion provided within the seat frame with the support member being disposed within the seat frame. A first portion supported by the support member and a second portion that is not supported by the support member are formed in the seat pad on the seat frame, and a reverse side of the vehicle seat at the second portion is covered with the seat cover extending from a seating side of the seat pad around to the reverse side of the seat pad. A distal portion of the seat cover is retained by a retaining portion provided on a second portion-side end of the support member, the distal portion covering the reverse side of the vehicle seat at the second portion.

Abstract: A fuel injection valve control device controlling a fuel injection valve that injects a fuel into a combustion chamber includes an operation-condition calculation portion that calculates a fuel injection condition of the fuel injection valve based on a crank angle detected by a crank angle sensor that detects the crank angle of an engine, a current-waveform setting portion that sets a current waveform of a current supplied to the fuel injection valve on the basis of the fuel injection condition calculated by the operation-condition calculation portion, and so on. The current-waveform setting portion sets the current waveform so as to set a temporal change of a pickup current of a needle provided in the fuel injection valve to be equal to or less than a predetermined reference value when a fuel injection start timing is equal to or more than 180 degrees BTDC.

Abstract: A vehicle seat includes: a seat cushion including another member disposed on a back side of a seat pad, and a catching portion provided in the another member; a seatback; a strip attached to the seatback; and a band member provided in the strip.

Abstract: A plain bearing capable of suppressing occurrence of bearing damage in a primary load portion is provided. The primary load portion in the center of at least one of the plain bearings that mainly receives load during rotation of a shaft is subjected to inner surface working by broaching so that roughness is 1 ?m Rz or less, while a light load portion at 10° to 60° from a bearing mating surface of the plain bearing that receives load smaller than that received by the primary load portion is subjected to inner surface working of a circumferential fine groove by boring so that the depth is 1 ?m to 15 ?m.

Abstract: A half bearing constituting a cylindrical plain bearing for supporting a shaft for rotation when two of the half bearings are combined together. The half bearing has two circumferential ends each of which has a plurality of circumferential grooves without formation of any crush relief surface. The grooves extend substantially over an overall circumferential dimension of the half bearing and include portions located at both circumferential ends of the half bearing respectively. Each portion has a larger axially sectional area than the grooves formed in a portion of the half bearing mainly subjected to load during rotation of the shaft.
