  • Patent number: 11863723
    Abstract: A document determination system includes a server device that stores identification information in association with document information, a printer that prints a document image corresponding to the document information and a code image indicating the identification information on a print medium to generate a normal printed matter, and a scanner that reads a print image printed on a printed matter including the normal printed matter and a copied printed matter obtained by copying the normal printed matter. The printer prints the code image in a preset end region of the print medium. The server device determines whether the printed matter is the normal printed matter based on the code image included in the print image read by the scanner.

  • Patent number: 10663373
    Abstract: A misfire detecting device for an engine is provided, which includes a processor configured to execute a cylinder operation controlling module to switch an engine operation mode from an all-cylinder operation to a reduced-cylinder operation in which operation of one or some of cylinders are suspended, when an execution condition of the reduced-cylinder operation is satisfied, a misfire detecting module to detect a possibility of misfire occurrence based on an angular speed variation of the engine, and a centrifugal damping part configured to reduce vibration caused by the engine. When a possible misfire state is detected by the misfire detecting module during the reduced-cylinder operation, the cylinder operation controlling module executes an operating-cylinder increase control in which the number of operating cylinders is increased. When the possible misfire state is continuously detected after the operating-cylinder increase control, the misfire detecting module detects the engine misfire.

  • Patent number: 10233823
    Abstract: Provided is a thermostat monitor (36) comprising a thermostat open failure detecting part (38) for detecting an open failure of a thermostat when a condition is such that a radiator heat radiation amount (14) radiated from a radiator on a radiator-side cooling water channel is larger than a heater core heat radiation amount (12) radiated from a heater core on a heater core-side cooling water channel, and that a difference between the radiator heat radiation amount and the heater core heat radiation amount is equal to or more than a predetermined value A. Based on a temperature of engine cooling water detected by a temperature sensor positioned in the vicinity of an outlet of an in-engine cooling water channel, it is possible to detect the open failure of the thermostat relatively easily with certainty.
