Abstract: To provide an engine controller of a hybrid vehicle that can perform a forced driving operation of an engine by performing the same inspection procedure as that of a vehicle using only an engine as a drive source even in the hybrid vehicle. The engine controller includes an operation control unit (ECM) that performs forced driving control of the engine to maintain an operation in a predetermined state suitable for an inspection if a determination that the inspection of the engine by a forced driving operation is requested is made, and an operation state determination unit (EVCM) that determines whether the cold start condition is satisfied or unsatisfied based on information containing at least with or without change from the disconnected state to the connected state of the battery. If the cold start condition is satisfied, the forced driving control of the engine is performed by the operation control unit.

Abstract: Disclosed is a cushioning material for a polishing pad, which hardly suffers swelling deformation caused by water because it is extremely low in water-absorbing characteristics and water-swelling characteristics. The cushioning material for a polishing pad includes a polyurethane foam capable of polishing even a semiconductor wafer having an undulated surface or a wafer having a local step that is formed during circuit forming process so that the undulation or step becomes smaller by uniformly polishing an entire surface of the wafer along the undulation or step. The cushioning material for a polishing pad is characterized by including a polyurethane foam obtained by reacting polyol and polyisocyanate with each other, the polyurethane foam having a contact angle with water of 90° or more. The polyurethane foam is preferably made by using hydrophobic polyol, and preferably has a self-skin layer formed thereon.

Abstract: A method for the bulk preparation and individual distribution of fresh ginger base from a central location involves selecting fresh ginger root and comminuting it to produce comminuted ginger. A generally liquid mixture is also prepared, which contains at least water, natural sweetener, edible acid, and salt. A predetermined amount of the comminuted ginger is packaged in a substantially air-tight container. The comminuted ginger occupies more than approximately 90 percent of the internal volume of the container. The comminuted ginger is cooled to a temperature that is above its freezing point. A pre-selected amount of the generally liquid mixture is placed into a receptacle. The pre-selected amount is generally proportional to the predetermined amount of comminuted ginger. The container and the receptacle are distributed from the central location to a site of intended use.

Abstract: An electronic control apparatus for a vehicle performs a rewrite execution permission/refusal determination while preventing leakage of a keyword or passcode without the need of grasping the keyword or passcode on the part of external equipment that requests rewriting the contents of the electronic control apparatus. Control programs and control data for controlling the vehicle are stored in a nonvolatile memory. The contents of the memory are rewritten by a rewriting part according to a request from the outside. A rewrite execution permission/refusal determination part creates a passcode which is uniquely defined in accordance with a prescribed rule from identification data which is decided upon receipt of a rewrite request, and makes a rewrite execution permission/refusal determination based on the result of collation between a passcode which has been created similarly by an external device from the identification data which has been sent to the external device and returned therefrom.
