Patent number: 5642715Abstract: Inflow/outflow ports are provided in either one of a distribution member for distributing compressed fuel or a control sleeve which is externally fitted around the distribution member. Each of the ports includes a slit extending therefrom. At the other one of the distribution member and the control sleeve, an intake-cutoff hole that communicates sequentially with the inflow/outflow ports and a pilot port which communicates with the slits during part of the force feed period are provided. Since the fuel flows out through the slits during part of the force feed period, pilot injection can be more easily achieved prior to the main injection during low speed rotation and fuel is less likely to be diverted through the slits due to the constricting effect during high speed rotation so that only the main injection is performed.Type: GrantFiled: March 29, 1996Date of Patent: July 1, 1997Assignee: Zexel CorporationInventors: Toru Yamakawa, Ken'ichi Kubo, Hiroshi Ishiwata, Jun Matsubara

Patent number: 5248486Abstract: A heat generating agent for medical waste sterilization. The agent is at least one compound selected from calcium oxide, calcined dolomite, and magnesium oxide, and at least one compound selected from sulfamic acid, sodium bisulfate, and anhydrous phosphoric acid. The present invention also provides a method for sterilizing medical wastes. The method includes the steps of subjecting medical waste to exothermic reaction between water and a heat generating agent selected from calcium oxide and calcined dolomite or to exothermic reaction between iron powder and oxygen to generate reaction heat and/or alkalinity by the exothermic reaction. The present invention provides an aparatus to be used according to the method mentioned above.Type: GrantFiled: November 30, 1992Date of Patent: September 28, 1993Assignees: Akira Matsuoka, Nihon Health Science Ltd., Kawai Lime Industry Co., Ltd., Sumitomo Cement Co., Ltd.Inventors: Akira Matsuoka, Koichi Mimura, Masayuki Matsumoto, Masaru Matsunami, Kozo Mizutani, Minoru Okamura, Kazuomi Sakai, Toru Yamakawa
