  • Patent number: 10072590
    Abstract: A control device for diesel engine controls a diesel engine with a turbo charger that coaxially joins an intake compressor and an exhaust turbine, and drives the intake compressor with energy of exhaust gas which flows into the exhaust turbine to pressurize intake air, and a fresh air/secondary air supply device that supplies fresh air or secondary air to an exhaust passage upstream of the exhaust turbine. The control device for diesel engine includes a gas flow stagnation region determination means that determines whether engine operation conditions or a state of the turbo charger are/is in a gas flow stagnation region, and a fresh air/secondary air supply means that supplies fresh air or secondary air to the exhaust passage upstream of the exhaust turbine by the fresh air/secondary air supply device when the engine operation conditions or the state of the turbo charger are/is in a gas flow stagnation region.

  • Patent number: 4628977
    Abstract: A high-durable pneumatic radial tire is disclosed using steel cords in at least one of the carcass and the belt. This steel cord is produced by twisting plural steel filaments each having a tensile strength of not less than 220 kgf/mm.sup.2, whose metallic structure being a fine pearlite structure having an average value of interlamellar distance between cementites of 300-500 .ANG. and an average sectional area of single pearlite crystal grain in filament section of not more than 20 .mu.m.sup.2.

  • Patent number: 4572264
    Abstract: A pneumatic radial tire is disclosed, which comprises steel cords having a two or three layer construction represented by a designation of l+m or l+m+n as a tire reinforcement, wherein two layers at a center side of a transverse section in the steel cord have the same twisting direction but different twisting pitches. In this steel cord, m filaments constituting an outer layer are arranged so as to enter into an inside of a circumscribed circle enveloping l filaments of an inner layer at a non-contact region above a predetermined value and have a form ratio of 90-110%.

  • Patent number: 4508152
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a pneumatic radial tire having an improved bead portion durability, which comprises a main tire body reinforcement of a radial carcass ply and a bead portion reinforcement of a metal cord layer arranged along the turnup portion of the carcass ply wound around the bead core of the bead portion from the inside to the outside. In the tire of this type, the bead portion reinforcement is composed of a support reinforcing layer and a turnup-end protecting layer independently arranged on the inside and outside of the bead core, and the turnup-end protecting layer has a modulus of elasticity at 1% elongation in cord direction smaller than that of the support reinforcing layer.
