  • Patent number: 9541011
    Abstract: In an apparatus for controlling an air/fuel ratio of a general-purpose internal combustion engine using mixed fuel containing alcohol and gasoline and operated at a desired engine speed inputted by the operator while a throttle opening is regulated such that a detected engine speed converges to the inputted desired engine speed, a fuel injection amount for mixed fuel determined based on fuel injection amount characteristics is increased/decreased when a load is kept constant and the output air/fuel ratio (at which an output of the engine becomes maximum) is estimated. And the fuel injection amount is corrected based on the estimated air/fuel ratio, thereby enabling to estimate the output air/fuel ratio without using an expensive air/fuel ratio sensor and to feedback-control the fuel injection amount such that the engine is operated at the output air/fuel ratio.

  • Patent number: 8649958
    Abstract: In an apparatus for controlling an air/fuel ratio of a general-purpose internal combustion engine using mixed fuel containing alcohol and gasoline and operated at a desired engine speed inputted by the operator while a throttle opening is regulated such that a detected engine speed converges to the inputted desired engine speed, a fuel injection amount prepared for mixed fuel is increased/decreased when a load is kept constant and the output air/fuel ratio (at which an output of the engine becomes maximum) is estimated. A rate of alcohol contained in the fuel is estimated from the estimated air/fuel ratio and the fuel injection amount is corrected based on the estimated alcohol rate, thereby determining the fuel injection amount appropriately in accordance with the estimated alcohol rate.

  • Patent number: 8596112
    Abstract: In an apparatus for discriminating a piston stroke of a general-purpose internal combustion engine connectable to an operating machine to be used as a prime mover of the machine and having a four-stroke operating cycle comprising intake, compression, expansion and exhaust, the operating cycle is discriminated based on intake air temperature detected by an intake air temperature sensor whether a stroke next to a predetermined crank angular position at which a crank angle sensor produces an output is the intake stroke or the expansion stroke, when operation of the engine is determined to be under a stable condition. With this, it becomes possible to discriminate the four-stroke operating cycle of the general-purpose engine without using an expensive pressure sensor.

  • Patent number: 8414929
    Abstract: The dried amniotic membrane is produced by drying a fresh amniotic membrane, which envelopes an embryo of an animal including human, and can be used as a substitute membrane for a membrane tissue in a living body; the dried amniotic membrane is dehydrated and dried so that the dried amniotic membrane can be stored in a dry air in a sterile state; when hydrated again by immersing in water or a buffer solution, the amniotic membrane still has an epithelial cell, a basement membrane and a connective tissue which constitute the fresh amniotic membrane. The dried amniotic membrane is useful as a medical substitute membrane for a membrane tissue in a living body such as a dura mater, a meninx, a pericardium, a pleura and a peritoneum.
