Abstract: A colored polyamide fiber composed of a polyamide resin, a pigment, a coupling agent and a compound represented by the following formula I: R?—CO—NH—R—NH—CO—R???(I) wherein R is an alkylene group having 1 to 4 carbon atoms, and R? and R? are each independently an aliphatic hydrocarbon group having 9 to 18 carbon atoms. The colored polyamide fibers are produced without causing bending and fiber break during the melt spinning even when the raw composition contains the pigment in a high concentration. Since the pigment is uniformly dispersed throughout the colored polyamide fibers, the coloration is deep and the strength is high. The colored polyamide fibers are suitable for the production of artificial leathers.

Abstract: An open/close means M1 opens or closes an EGR passage. An engine load detecting means M2 detects an engine load, such as an intake air amount or an intake air pressure. Either an open. condition or a closed condition of the open/close means M1 is specified as a referential state, while the other is specified as a non-referential state. A memory means M3 memorizes engine loads at the referential state and the non-referential state. A constant acceleration judging means M4 makes a judgement as to whether or not the operational condition of the engine is in a constant accelerating condition. An open/close control means M5 switches the open/close means M1 from the referential state to the non-referential state in response to a constant accelerating condition detected by the constant acceleration judging means M4.
