Abstract: An imaging control unit in a radiation imaging apparatus causes imaging in a plurality of modes varying in a setting value, and causes standby driving to reduce signals stored in a plurality of pixels during a period in which the plurality of pixels is not irradiated with radiation. The plurality of modes includes a first mode for first imaging using a first setting value and a second mode for second imaging using a second setting value different from the first setting value after the first imaging. The imaging control unit causes the standby driving using a setting value closer to the second setting value than to the first setting value in response to end of the first imaging in causing the second imaging.

Abstract: A blowby gas treatment device includes a pressure control valve, a fresh air induction pipe, a first blowby gas pipe, a second blowby gas pipe, a shutoff valve, a one-way valve, and a PCV valve. A leak diagnosis includes a first-stage diagnosis to determine whether or not falling of a pressure in a crank case after closing of the shutoff valve under a non-supercharging condition is normal. A second-stage diagnosis is implemented by using an air fuel ratio feedback control, and determining whether or not a sensed intake air quantity obtained by an air flow meter is equal to an actual intake air quantity flowing into a cylinder set. When the sensed intake air quantity is equal to the actual intake air quantity, presence of an in-system leak is determined, and when the actual intake air quantity is larger, presence of an out-of-system leak is determined.
