Abstract: The present invention includes a plurality of wireless terminals that each transmit a data packet including an acquired information signal by a first wireless communication scheme, and a relay device that receives the data packet transmitted from the wireless terminal and transmits the received data packet by a second wireless communication scheme. Each of the wireless terminals includes a first wireless communication circuit that performs a wireless communication by the first wireless communication scheme, a second wireless communication circuit that performs a wireless communication by the second wireless communication scheme, and a control unit that determines whether a wireless channel of the second wireless communication scheme is in use or not, and causes the first wireless communication circuit to transmit the data packet including the information signal to the relay device when the wireless channel is determined to be unused.

Abstract: An exhaust gas purification device is capable of diffusing and introducing a reducing agent into a NOx catalyst arranged in a downstream side exhaust gas passage. A housing of the device includes a main body in which an upstream side exhaust gas passage and the downstream side exhaust gas passage are housed, and a cap attached to a first surface of the main body provided with an outlet side opening of the upstream side exhaust gas passage and an inlet side opening of the downstream side exhaust gas passage. At least one of the first surface of the main body and a second surface in the cap which faces the first surface includes a guide portion, for guiding an exhaust gas flow, and a reducing agent diffusion portion, for facilitating mixing of the reducing agent with the exhaust gas.

Abstract: The invention provides an exhaust gas purification apparatus for an internal combustion engine which evenly diffuses a reducing agent over an entirety of the exhaust gas which flows into an NOx catalyst disposed on the downstream side of thereof. The exhaust gas purification apparatus includes an NOx catalyst disposed in an exhaust gas passage of an internal combustion engine, and a reducing agent injecting unit for injecting the reducing agent into the exhaust gas passage which is on an upstream side of the NOx catalyst. A narrowed portion, in which a cross-sectional area of a flow passage is smaller than a cross-sectional area of the exhaust gas passage and of the NOx catalyst, is provided on a downstream side of an injecting position by the reducing agent injecting unit and the upstream side of the NOx catalyst, and a reducing agent diffusing device is provided on the narrowed portion.

Abstract: An exhaust gas purification device for an internal combustion engine that has a turn-back portion in an exhaust gas passageway which makes the device compact and causes a reducing agent to be evenly dispersed and flow into a reduction catalyst disposed in an exhaust gas passageway downstream of the turn-back portion. The device has a lid portion that is attached to a side surface of the body portion and the body portion has an outlet opening for the upstream-side exhaust gas passageway and an inlet opening for the downstream-side exhaust gas passageway, and the turn-back portion comprises a space enclosed by the body portion and the lid portion, and a guide portion for directing the flow direction of exhaust gas with which the reducing agent has become mixed toward the is downstream-side exhaust gas passageway is integrally molded in an opposing surface of the lid portion that opposes the inlet opening of the downstream-side exhaust gas passageway.

Abstract: There is provided an exhaust gas purification device for an internal combustion engine that has a turn-back portion in an exhaust gas passageway and is made compact and can cause a reducing agent to be evenly dispersed and flow into a reduction catalyst disposed in an exhaust gas passageway downstream of the turn-back portion.

Abstract: An exhaust gas purification device is provided that is capable of diffusing and introducing a reducing agent into a NOx catalyst arranged in a downstream side exhaust gas passage. The exhaust gas purification device is compact and has an exhaust gas passage that returns back in the middle thereof. A housing of the exhaust gas purification device includes a main body in which an upstream side exhaust gas passage and the downstream side exhaust gas passage are housed, and a cap which is attached to a first surface of the main body that is provided with an outlet side opening of the upstream side exhaust gas passage and an inlet side opening of the downstream side exhaust gas passage. The return portion is formed by a space surrounded by the main body and the cap.

Abstract: There is provided an exhaust gas purification apparatus for an internal combustion engine which can make the exhaust gas in which a reducing agent is diffused uniformly over the entirety flow into an NOx catalyst disposed on the downstream side. An exhaust gas purification apparatus for an internal combustion engine including an NOx catalyst disposed in an exhaust gas passage of an internal combustion engine, and a reducing agent injecting unit for injecting a reducing agent into the exhaust gas passage that is on an upstream side of the NOx catalyst, is characterized in that a narrowed portion in which the cross-sectional area of a flow passage is smaller than the cross-sectional area of the exhaust gas passage and that of the NOx catalyst is provided on a downstream side of an injecting position by the reducing agent injecting unit and the upstream side of the NOx catalyst, and that reducing agent diffusing means is provided on the narrowed portion.

Abstract: A fingerprint authentication system with a slide sensor provides guidance to help the user swipe his or her fingertip across the slide sensor at the ideal speed by modulating a pulse signal according to the swipe speed and converting the modulated pulse signal to an audible tone with a pitch that varies with the swipe speed, or to an equivalent visible display.
