Patent number: 5297483Abstract: Left side panels and right side panel are produced in a left side panel production line and a right side panel production line, respectively By vertical lifters, each left side panel and each right side panel are lifted at the delivery stations and then transferred to runners at work transfer positions. The runner with the left side panel held thereon travels along a rail while the runner with the right side panel held thereon travels along a rail. Both runners are stopped at a standby position and then conveyed to a runner transfer position simultaneously. The runners with the left and right side panels held thereon, respectively, are loaded on the traverser and then conveyed to a drop lifter arranged above a main body assembly line. The left and right side panels are transferred to the drop lifter. The drop lifter then descends and feeds the left and right side panels simultaneously on opposite sides of a floor panel in the main body assembly line.Type: GrantFiled: October 28, 1992Date of Patent: March 29, 1994Assignee: Mitsubishi Jidosha Kogyo Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Takuya Kakida, Noriyuki Inoue, Shoichi Okada, Yoshiki Nakamura, Wakaharu Ikeda, Akira Mikami, Akiyoshi Kimura, Masayuki Aihara, Hisashi Fujiwara, Yuji Watanabe

Patent number: 5070842Abstract: An apparatus for controlling ignition timing in an internal combustion engine wherein the ignition timing is controlled such that a crank angle at which an increased rate of pressure in a cylinder is maximized coincides with a target value, e.g., an MBT point or the like. The apparatus detects an occurrence of incorrect ignition in response to a signal indicative of pressure in the cylinder and inhibits feedback control from being carried out for the ignition timing when an occurrence of incorrect ignition is detected. The crank angle, at which an increased rate of pressure in the cylinder is maximized, is calculated in response to a signal indicative of pressure in the cylinder, a reference pulse transmitted from a crank angle sensor and a pulse transmitted per 1.degree. of a crank angle of the crankshaft. The target value is set to a value by which a maximum torque is obtainable within a range where no knocking occurs.Type: GrantFiled: July 16, 1990Date of Patent: December 10, 1991Assignee: Mitsubishi Denki Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Noriyuki Inoue, Satoru Ohkubo, Toshio Iwata, Akira Demizu
