Abstract: A sealing device is disposed between a rotational shaft and an inner surface of a housing. The sealing device includes a mounted part mounted on the housing; an annular part extending radially inward from the mounted part; an inner cylindrical part supported by the annular part; a seal lip protruding radially inward from the inner cylindrical part, the seal lip brought into slidable contact with the rotational shaft; and a garter spring wound around the inner cylindrical part to compress the seal lip against the rotational shaft. The distance between the boundary between the inner cylindrical part and the annular part and the lip edge of the seal lip along the axial direction of the rotational shaft is equal to or greater than 4 mm. The garter spring applies a force that is equal to or greater than 22 N to the inner cylindrical part.

Abstract: The present invention is aimed at providing an output circuit that is of relatively small scale and may perform adjustment to make the output-signal rise slew rate and the fall slew rate equal to each other. An output circuit includes a signal output unit configured to produce at a signal output node a signal that makes transition between a first potential and a second potential, a load circuit having a variable load, and a first switch circuit configured to select one of electrical conduction and non-conduction between the signal output node and the load circuit.

Abstract: An intake manifold positioned between two banks of a V-shaped engine has a structure in which a body section and a connecting section coupled to each other with a plate-like mounting stay interposed therebetween. A support leg integrally formed on the mounting stay is fixed by a bolt to injector bases coupled to cylinder heads of the engine E. Thus, it is possible to firmly support the intake manifold by means of the mounting stay and moreover, to eliminate the need for a special fixing device for fixing the mounting stay to the intake manifold, thereby leading to a reduced number of parts.
