Abstract: Provided is to perform an identification of a temperature and/or a material of a target object to be measured in a non-contact and simple manner. A relationship between a wavelength and an emissivity of thermal radiation such as infrared rays radiated from an object is determined by the material of the object. In the present invention, the identification is performed by using this. In other words, the object above can be achieved by comparing thermal radiation intensities at a plurality of wavelengths from the given object with a database in the present invention. The database is stored by measuring the thermal radiation intensities at the plurality of wavelengths and temperatures for a plurality of materials in advance. An external light source is not required, and the target to be measured itself is used as a thermal radiation light source in this measurement.

Abstract: An ignition system has an ignition plug and an ignition control unit that controls the ignition plug. When an engine is in a predetermined operating state, the ignition control unit performs ignition control after top dead center to perform ignition after the compression top dead center. The ignition system has an airflow support structure that facilitates the flow of airflow through a discharge gap at least after the compression top dead center. The ignition system is configured such that due to the airflow support structure and the timing of the ignition, airflow at a flow rate of 5 m/s or more flows through the discharge gap during a spark period after top dead center, which is the generation period of the discharge spark in the ignition control after top dead center.

Abstract: According to one embodiment, a grease filling method for a ball screw device includes the steps of covering an outer periphery of a screw shaft protruding from one end portion of a nut with a covering member, supplying grease to a portion between a nut inner peripheral surface on one end portion side of the nut and the screw shaft, inserting the protruding screw shaft into a nut inner side while being covered with the covering member by relatively rotating the screw shaft and the nut, bringing a tip of the covering member in an insertion direction closer to an end portion of an infinite circulation path on the one end portion side of the nut, and sending the grease supplied to the nut inner side to a region of the infinite circulation path, pulling out the covering member together with the screw shaft from the one end portion of the nut by relatively rotating the screw shaft and the nut in an opposite direction, and taking out the covering member from the screw shaft.

Abstract: A SIM router device is configured to access a SIM that stores a first authentication application and a second authentication application. The SIM router device includes a first input interface, a second input interface, a mapping information storage unit, and a controller. The mapping information storage unit is configured to acquire an authentication application list that lists the first authentication application and the second authentication application from the SIM, and store a mapping information in which the first input interface is associated with the first authentication application and the second input interface is associated with the second authentication application. The controller is configured to route, based on the mapping information, a first instruction received by the first input interface to the first authentication application of the SIM, and a second instruction received by the second input interface to the second authentication application of the SIM.

Abstract: An ignition system includes a dividing wall which divides a combustion chamber of an engine into a main chamber and a pre-chamber and has formed therein at least one spray hole which communicates between the main chamber and the pre-chamber, and a spark plug in which voltage is applied across a spark gap between a first electrode and a second electrode to create an electrical spark to ignite fuel. The pre-chamber has the first electrode. The dividing wall or a member which electrically conducts with the dividing wall has the second electrode. The ignition system executes an after-top-dead-center ignition control mode to ignite fuel after a compression stroke top dead center. In the after-top-dead-center ignition control mode, an ignition source which is in the form of a self-growable flame kernel is provided in a spray hole-nearby region, the spray hole, or the main chamber within a crank angle of 20° after an ignition timing at which the voltage starts to be applied across the spark gap.

Abstract: The present invention makes it possible to represent or synthesize any odor by separating the odor into a combination of a relatively small number of odors, similarly to separating a color into three primary colors. Since the “primary odors” corresponding to the primary colors have not yet been ascertained, the present invention provides a feasible method and apparatus in which, instead of presetting such fixed primary odors, the separation, synthesis, and the like can be performed by selecting a subset of odors from among a set consisting of a plurality of odors which subset or odors enables approximation of other odors as much as possible by mixture.
