Publication number: 20230239587Abstract: An imaging device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure includes: a pixel array; and a sensitivity setting section. The pixel array includes a plurality of light-receiving pixels that is divided into a plurality of pixel lines. The plurality of pixel lines includes a first pixel line and a second pixel line that extend in a first direction and are provided side by side in a second direction. The plurality of light-receiving pixels each accumulates electric charge corresponding to an amount of received light and each has light-receiving sensitivity which is variable. The sensitivity setting section sets the light-receiving sensitivity of a second light-receiving pixel in a first period on the basis of a first pixel value corresponding to a result of accumulation in a first light-receiving pixel disposed at a first position in the first pixel line in the first direction. The second light-receiving pixel is disposed at the first position in the second pixel line in the first direction.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 13, 2021Publication date: July 27, 2023Inventor: SHUNYA NAKAMURA

Patent number: 11131273Abstract: In at least some implementations, a charge forming system for a combustion engine includes a first fuel supply device having a first passage from which fuel is discharged for delivery to the engine and a second fuel supply device having a second passage from which fuel is discharged for delivery to the engine. The first passage communicates with the second passage so that the fuel in the first passage is combined with the fuel in the second passage.Type: GrantFiled: July 27, 2018Date of Patent: September 28, 2021Assignee: Walbro LLCInventors: Takashi Abei, Katsuaki Hamataka, Taketoshi Hirama, Takashi Horikawa, Tomoya Kawada, Nobuyuki Kuroki, Shunya Nakamura, Kazunori Tsubakino, Makoto Waku

Patent number: 11073123Abstract: In at least some implementations, a method of maintaining an engine speed below a first threshold, includes: (a) determining an engine speed; (b) comparing the engine speed to a second threshold that is less than the first threshold; (c) allowing an engine ignition event to occur during a subsequent engine cycle if the engine speed is less than the second threshold; and (d) skipping at least one subsequent engine ignition event if the engine speed is greater than the second threshold. In at least some implementations, the second threshold is less than the first threshold by a maximum acceleration of the engine after one ignition event so that an ignition event when the engine speed is less than the second threshold does not cause the engine speed to increase above the first threshold.Type: GrantFiled: July 12, 2017Date of Patent: July 27, 2021Assignee: Walbro LLCInventors: Martin N. Andersson, Matthew A. Braun, Cyrus M. Healy, Shunya Nakamura, Tsuyoshi Watanabe

Publication number: 20210010449Abstract: In at least some implementations, a method of controlling spark events in an engine includes determining for at least two engine revolutions in a four-stroke engine at least one characteristic of the primary coil voltage for a spark event, determining, based upon the characteristic of the primary coil voltage, which of the spark events is associated with a compression phase and which of the spark events is associated with an exhaust phase of engine operation, and providing spark events in subsequent engine revolutions that are associated with the compression phase of engine operation but not in revolutions associated with the exhaust phase of engine operation. In at least some implementations, the characteristic is the duration of the spark event as determined by changes in the primary coil voltage, and the characteristic may be that the duration that the primary coil voltage is above a threshold voltage.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 14, 2019Publication date: January 14, 2021Inventors: Takashi Abei, Shunya Nakamura, Dairoku Suzuki, Jun Takano, Yuki Tanaka, Kazunori Tsubakino, Makoto Waku
