Abstract: The present invention aims to provide: a novel silicon-containing polymer that is alkali soluble or is soluble in an alkaline aqueous solution by using heat, etc.; a film-forming composition including the silicon-containing polymer; a method for forming a silicon-containing polymer coating using the film-forming composition; a method for forming a silica coating using the film-forming composition; and a production method for the silicon-containing polymer. The silicon-containing polymer including at least either a polysiloxane chain or oligosiloxane chain or a polysilane chain or oligosilane chain in the molecular chain thereof has a group that has e.g., a carboxy or carboxylic acid ester group and a sulfide group, introduced to the molecular chain as a result of an ene-thiol reaction.

Abstract: An engine device in which exhaust pipes and an intake pipe can be mounted highly rigidly by using an upper face corner of a cylinder block in an engine, and a support structure of the exhaust pipes and the intake pipe can be simplified. In an engine device in which a first supercharger and a second supercharger are disposed in series on an exhaust gas discharge path of an engine, the engine device has a structure in which the first supercharger and the second supercharger are disposed to be divided on opposed side faces of the engine, and an upper side exhaust pipe between the engine and the first supercharger, a lower side exhaust pipe between the first supercharger and the second supercharger, and an intake pipe between the first supercharger and the second supercharger extend to be substantially flush with one another at a head-cover disposed-height of an upper face of the engine.

Abstract: The object of the present invention is to provide a compact engine. An engine has a two-stage turbocharger provided with a high-pressure turbocharger and a low-pressure turbocharger. The high-pressure turbocharger and the low-pressure turbocharger are separately disposed on the gear case side and the flywheel side in along direction of a main body respectively. An intake pipe and an exhaust pipe connecting the high-pressure turbocharger with the low-pressure turbocharger are separately and respectively disposed on right side and left side in a transverse direction of the main body.
