  • Patent number: 10844767
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a device and a method for removing a carbon from an oxygen sensor. The device may include an oxygen sensor installed in a gas exhaust line of a vehicle to measure an oxygen content in an exhaust gas, a valve for transferring a high-pressure air flow to the oxygen sensor, a valve actuator for driving the valve, and a controller for controlling the valve actuator to open the valve when an abnormality occurs in the oxygen sensor. When the abnormality has occurred in the oxygen sensor, the valve for transferring the high-pressure air flow is opened, and a temperature of zirconia provided in the oxygen sensor is raised to remove a carbon deposited on the oxygen sensor.

  • Patent number: 10766475
    Abstract: A device for preventing dilution of engine oil includes an oil pan in which oil for lubrication of the engine is recovered with fuel. An exhaust purifier is provided on a rear end of the engine and purifying exhaust gas. A gas passage can guide flow of exhaust gas passing through the exhaust purifier to the oil pan. A gas valve can control flow rate of the exhaust gas flowing in the gas passage. A controller controls an opening ratio of the gas valve depending on a temperature of oil inside the oil pan to maintain the temperature of the oil equal to or higher than a temperature at which the fuel in the oil pan is vaporized.

  • Patent number: 6236318
    Abstract: In a system for identifying a plurality of cattle bred on a livestock farm and detecting an estrus state thereof, an apparatus for detecting and identifying any one of cows in the estrus state, comprising a switch mounted on a caudal part of a corresponding one of the cows in such a manner that it can be operated when a different one of the cows mounts the corresponding cow, an encoder for generating an inherent identification code with respect to the corresponding cow in response to the operation of the switch, a radio transmitter/receiver circuit for transmitting the inherent identification code from the encoder externally by radio and receiving an external identification code by radio, a decoder for decoding the external identification code received by the radio transmitter/receiver circuit to detect an identification code value therefrom, a comparator for comparing the identification code value from the decoder with a prestored identification code value of the corresponding cow to determine whether the tw
