Abstract: A cylinder bore wall thermal insulator includes a rubber member that comes in contact with half of a cylinder bore-side wall surface of a middle-lower part of a groove-like coolant passage, and has a contact surface having a shape that conforms to the shape of the cylinder bore-side wall surface of the middle-lower part of the groove-like coolant passage, a metal base member on which the rubber member is secured, and an elastic member that is provided to the metal base member, and biases the metal base member so that the metal base member presses the rubber member against the cylinder bore-side wall surface of the middle-lower part of the groove-like coolant passage. An internal combustion engine in which a cylinder bore wall has a uniform temperature can be provided by utilizing the cylinder bore wall thermal insulator.

Abstract: A wiring substrate includes: a substrate body made of ceramic and having a front surface and a rear surface, each having a rectangular shape in a plan view, a plurality of rear surface electrodes formed on the rear surface of the substrate body, a frame-shaped conductive portion provided on the front surface side of the substrate body, and a via conductor penetrating the substrate body and establishing electric connection between the plurality of rear surface electrodes and the frame-shaped conductive portion. A part of the rear surface is exposed between the plurality of rear surface electrodes and each side of the rear surface of the substrate body. On the rear surface of the substrate body, at least one projecting wiring is formed between each of the plurality of rear surface electrodes and each of a corresponding pair of the sides that intersect with each other.
