  • Patent number: 10422265
    Abstract: An exhaust gas purifying system includes a differential pressure detector that detects a differential pressure between an inlet/outlet of a filter, a flow rate detector that detects a flow rate of exhaust gas in the filter, a differential based-deposition-amount calculator that calculates a differential-based deposition amount of particulate matters in the filter based on detection results of the differential pressure detector and the flow rate detector, a regeneration temperature setting unit that sets a regeneration processing temperature of the filter based on the calculated differential-based deposition amount, and a regeneration processing unit that performs a regeneration processing of the filter based on the set regeneration processing temperature.

  • Publication number: 20110120409
    Abstract: There is provided a four-stroke internal combustion engine lubrication device that is capable of appropriately lubricating various parts regardless of engine orientation, of improving the capability for collecting excess oil within a valve chamber or the like and the capability for supplying oil to the various parts, and of reliably preventing oil leakage from a breather port provided in the valve chamber. It comprises: a reed valve (40) that allows oil flow from an oil chamber (17) into a crankcase (15) but prevents oil flow from the crankcase (15) to the oil chamber (17); an oil supply passage (35) for supplying oil from the crankcase (15) to a valve chamber (18); and a plurality of independent oil collection passages (51, 52) with differing inlet/outlet positions and for collecting in the oil chamber (17) the excess oil in the valve chamber (18). The dimensions of the various parts are so designed as to constantly maintain the oil chamber (17) under negative pressure during operation.

  • Patent number: 7908843
    Abstract: An exhaust gas purification device comprises a NOx catalyst for purifying NOx contained in exhaust gas by using ammonia as a reducing agent, an ammonia supply device for supplying ammonia to the NOx catalyst, a catalyst temperature sensor for detecting the internal temperature of the NOx catalyst, and a control unit that stops the ammonia supply from the ammonia supply device when the stop condition is satisfied that the internal temperature of the NOx catalyst becomes equal to or higher than first prescribed temperature in the process where ammonia is supplied from the ammonia supply device to the NOx catalyst.

  • Publication number: 20040172377
    Abstract: The present invention is to solve problems such as a longer working period because of requirements for lot of working processes, use of a lot of sheets in the course of repeated proofreading work by multiple proofreaders, occurrence of errors in proofreading or retrogressive work, and delayed deliveries due to difficulties in managing proofreading work accurately. It also makes it possible to reduce the number of processes to create multiple documents containing a common sentence(s) and the number of processes to revise the sentence(s) containing the common sentence(s).

  • Patent number: 4428009
    Abstract: The disclosed recorder includes a motor, a magnetic head, an oscillation circuit connected to the head, an equalizing circuit connected to the oscillation circuit. The equalizing circuit includes a capacitor which, when grounded, changes the equalization of the equalizing circuit. A signal amplifier is connected to the equalizing circuit. A speed changing circuit is connected to the motor for changing the speed of the motor and, hence, the tape speed, and a switch forms an operating path when closed for simultaneously connecting the speed changing circuit to ground through the path so as to energize the speed changing circuit and connects the capacitor to ground through the same path so as simultaneously to change equalization of the equalizing circuit.
