Abstract: A common-rail-type fuel injection control device where an error in the correction of a fuel injection amount when an exhaust brake is used is eliminated enabling a more reliable correction of a fuel injection amount. A minute injection is performed plural times in a non-injection state. A difference between a reference energizing time, which becomes the reference for a fuel injection valve, and an actual energizing time based on a frequency component corresponding to a variation in an engine speed which is generated in the minute injection is learned. A correction control corrects an energizing time and timing. The correction control is corrected corresponding to a presence or non-presence of an operation of an exhaust brake and a magnitude of a supercharging pressure, and an amount of variation in an engine speed calculated based on a rotational variation frequency component.

Abstract: An ink-jet line printer (30) is constituted by multiple ink-jet heads (1-1 to 1-3). Actuators (3-1 to 3-3) are arranged so as to be moved between a home position and a print position, and backup mechanisms (2-1 to 2-3) are arranged at home positions. In this ink-jet line printer, the ink-jet heads can be protected and recovered by backup mechanisms, thus making high-speed continuous printing possible. Even though the backup mechanisms are incorporated, a compact apparatus can still be achieved.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method of driving a piezo-electric type ink jet head for jetting inks out of a nozzle by making use of a distortion of a piezo-electric element. The driving method includes a first step of driving the piezo-electric element so that a meniscus of inks is receded from an initial position of the nozzle to a first position within the nozzle, a second step of driving the piezo-electric element so that the meniscus quickly advances from the first position to a second position within the nozzle, and a third step of driving the piezo-electric element so that the meniscus slowly advances from the second position to the initial position. A particle quantity of ink particles is changed by changing a movement quantity from the first position to the second position in the second step.
