  • Patent number: 11970003
    Abstract: Provided is a liquid ejection apparatus, liquid ejection method, dispensing apparatus, and compound introduction apparatus capable of inhibiting contamination of a liquid after being ejected. The liquid ejection apparatus has an ejection unit having an ejection part and an ejection energy generation element that ejects a liquid from the ejection part by using a principle of inkjet ejection into an internal space in a storage part capable of storing the ejected liquid. When ejecting the liquid, the ejection unit covers an opening portion of the storage part to thereby screen the internal space in the storage part from an external space.

  • Patent number: 11897477
    Abstract: A control device installed in a vehicle comprising an electronic control unit configured to: accept a plurality of first requests from a driving assistance system; arbitrate the first requests; calculate a second request that is a physical amount that differs from the first requests based on a result of arbitration in which the first requests are arbitrated; and distribute the second request to at least one of a plurality of actuator systems, wherein the electronic control unit is configured to, when there is the first request requesting a driving force exceeding a first driving force necessary for recovery from a fuel cut state, perform arbitration such that an actual driving force generated by the vehicle is no greater than the first driving force, until reaching a driving force lower limit realizable by a powertrain actuator included in the actuator system at a current gear ratio.

  • Patent number: 9186647
    Abstract: In the present invention, a gas pipe integrated block has a plurality of internal pipe paths. The plurality of internal pipe paths are connected to an ozone generator, control means, a raw gas supply port, an ozone gas output port, and cooling water inlet/outlet ports, to thereby form a unit in which a raw gas input pipe path and an ozone gas output pipe path are integrated. The raw gas input pipe path extends from the raw gas supply port through an automatic pressure controller to the ozone generator. The ozone gas output pipe path extends from the ozone generator through a gas filter, an ozone concentration meter, and a flow rate controller, to the ozone gas output port.
