Abstract: A control device for controlling an engine includes main-chamber injecting means (1,3) that supplies a main chamber (8) with fuel; sub-chamber injecting means (2) that supplies a sub chamber (5) with fuel after the main chamber injecting means (1,3) supplies the fuel; estimating means (21) that estimates a degree of knocking serving as indices of an intensity of the knocking and an occurrence frequency of the knocking; and fuel controlling means (22) that carries out, when the degree (N) of the knocking is a first predetermined value (N1) or more, fuel control that reduces a sub-chamber fuel amount representing an amount of fuel supplied by the sub-chamber injecting means (2). By reducing the sub-chamber fuel amount in this manner, the occurrence of knocking can be suppressed, so that the combustion state of a divided-combustion-chamber engine can be enhanced.

Abstract: A transmission, includes a transmission mechanism including a torque converter having a lock-up clutch; an oil pump configured to discharge an oil to be supplied to the transmission mechanism; a lock-up oil pressure control valve configured to adjust a pressure of the oil discharged from the oil pump and supply the oil to the lock-up clutch; a lubricating oil pressure control valve configured to adjust the pressure of the oil discharged from the oil pump and supply the oil to a portion to be lubricated of the transmission mechanism; and a controller configured to control the lock-up oil pressure control valve.

Abstract: A vehicle control device includes a storage medium storing computer-readable instructions and a processor connected to the storage medium.

Abstract: A process for producing amorphous preparations of steryl glucoside monopalmitates, wherein steryl glucoside monopalmitates are heated at a temperature above 110.degree. C up to about 145.degree. C or the compounds are dissolved in an organic solvent in which they are soluble with a solvent which is then distilled off, and the compounds then pulverized and mixed with physiologically harmless organic or inorganic fine particles in a proportion of 0.5 times (by weight) of the compounds or more, thereby homogeneously dispersing the amorphous compounds in the fine particles or uniformtly adsorbing the compounds on the fine particles, and the resulting preparations which have hemostatic properties and are readily absorbable upon ingestion. The starting steryl glucoside monopalmitates are obtained in crystalline form as from soy beans or other vegetable sources.

Abstract: 2-Aminomethyl-5-phenyloxazoles and the pharmaceutically acceptacle salts thereof have been found to be effective for meliorating inflammation in warm blooded animals.

Abstract: Sterol glycosides are isolated from sterol glycoside-containing plant material by heating the material in alkaline lower alkanol at elevated temperatures in the presence of an alkali metal carbonate, bicarbonate or nitrate to effect formation and precipitation of a complex which is then isolated.

Abstract: 2-Aminomethyl-5-phenyloxazoles and the pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof have been found to be effective for meliorating inflammation in warm blooded animals.

Abstract: Sterol glycosides are rendered easily absorbable through the digestive tract by dissolving or dispersing the steroid glycoside with heating into a water solution of a polymer or polymers and then removing the solvent.
