  • Patent number: 9145857
    Abstract: A vapor solenoid valve is connected so as to lead to a canister. A vapor line connecting port and a purge line connecting port are connected to a vapor line and a purge line, respectively. When switched on and in an open position, the vapor solenoid valve connects a canister connecting port, the vapor line connecting port and the purge connecting port to each other, and thus allows a fuel evaporative gas to flow out of and into a canister or allows air to flow from an air filter. When switched off and in a CLOSED position, the vapor solenoid valve closes the canister connecting port and connects only the vapor line connecting port and the purge line connecting port to each other, and thus inhibits the fuel evaporative gas from flowing out of and into the canister.

  • Patent number: 8837671
    Abstract: This invention has one object to provide radiographic apparatus for acquiring a radioscopic image through superimposing of strip images. The radiographic apparatus allows prevention of blurring in the image with shortened imaging time for acquiring a clearer radioscopic image. According to the configuration of this invention, the FPD-4 is entirely within an imaging range throughout continuous taking of the strip images. In so doing, a minimum movement distance of the FPD-4 may be achieved in continuous taking of the strip images. Even when movement of the FPD-4 deviates from original setting, a range of the deviation may be suppressed to be small, since the movement distance of the FPD-4 is suppressed to be small. Consequently, superimposing of the strip images may realize acquisition of a clearer radioscopic image.
