Patent number: 9488124Abstract: Provided is an engine capable of performing post-injection control with a proper fuel injection amount. The engine (1) comprises an engine body (10) equipped with a turbocharger (7), an engine rotational speed sensor (21), an acceleration opening degree sensor (24), a boost sensor (23), a turbo sensor (22), and an ECU (100) for performing post-injection control. The ECU (100) recognizes the rotational speed of the engine, the supercharging pressure, the load on the engine, and the rotational speed of the supercharger, and so performs the post-injection control that the rotational speed of the supercharger becomes equal to the target rotational speed of the supercharger calculated in the ECU (100).Type: GrantFiled: March 2, 2009Date of Patent: November 8, 2016Assignee: YANMAR CO., LTD.Inventors: Takao Kawabe, Takashi Miyamoto, Satomi Ukai, Reiko Nakagawa, Tetsuo Sakaki, Isamu Kawashima

Patent number: 8423266Abstract: An engine in which a fluctuation in the amount of fuel injection is reduced in the entire operating tolerance of the engine. The engine (1) has an engine body (5) provided with a turbocharger (7), an engine speed sensor (21), a turbo sensor (22), a boost sensor (23), and an ECU (20) for correcting the amount of fuel injection. A control means recognizes an engine speed, a supercharging pressure, a supercharger speed, a fuel injection amount and corrects the fuel injection amount.Type: GrantFiled: March 2, 2009Date of Patent: April 16, 2013Assignee: Yanmar Co., Ltd.Inventors: Takao Kawabe, Takashi Miyamoto, Kazuhiro Yamada, Tetsuo Sakaki, Isamu Kawashima

Patent number: 8402953Abstract: It is an object to provide an engine that makes it possible to constantly detect the number of rotations of a supercharger with a calculation load of an ECU reduced. An engine 1 is provided with an engine base 8 comprised of a plurality of cylinders and a turbocharger 7, a crank angle sensor 4, a turbo sensor 5 that detects rotations of the turbocharger 7 as pulses, an amplifier 11 that divides the pulses by an arbitrary division ratio and calculates the divided pulses, and an ECU 10 that judges a surge condition of the turbocharger 7, wherein the ECU 10 sets a predetermined position of a piston of each cylinder in a crank angle of the engine base 8 to count start timing of the divided pulses, outputs the divided pulses counted from the count start timing to the number of predetermined rotations as a first output, and judges that, if a difference between the first outputs at every cylinder is more than a predetermined value, the turbocharger 7 is in the surge condition.Type: GrantFiled: November 11, 2008Date of Patent: March 26, 2013Assignee: Yanmar Co., Ltd.Inventors: Takao Kawabe, Takashi Miyamoto, Terumitsu Takahata, Tetsuo Sakaki, Isamu Kawashima

Publication number: 20090051358Abstract: The present invention is achieved for the purpose of easily detecting a crack or flaw existing in the silicon layer of a wafer in a short period of time. The flaw detector thus provided includes a coil sensor placed at a predetermined distance from the surface of the silicon layer; a radiofrequency applier for applying a radiofrequency to the coil sensor; a scanner for relatively moving the silicon layer and the coil sensor with a constant distance between the surface of the silicon layer and the coil sensor; and a crack detector for detecting a crack or flaw existing in the silicon layer by detecting the change of a signal provided from the coil sensor or the change in the radiofrequency applied by the radiofrequency applier. The frequency of the radiofrequency applied by the radiofrequency applier may be set between 5 MHz and 200 MHz. This enables a flaw detection for a silicon layer which has been considered to be impossible.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 4, 2006Publication date: February 26, 2009Applicant: TETSUO SAKAKIInventors: Tomohisa Shirasaka, Tetsuo Sakaki, Tsuneo Kobayashi
