Abstract: A compression ignition engine includes: a naphtha injector for supplying naphtha to a combustion chamber; a diesel fuel injector for supplying diesel fuel having a higher boiling point than naphtha; an ignition device for assisting ignition of an air-fuel mixture; and a PCM connected to the naphtha injector, the diesel fuel injector, and the ignition device. When the diesel engine is cold, the PCM supplies only naphtha out of naphtha and diesel fuel, and assists ignition of an air-fuel mixture formed by naphtha.

Abstract: Disclosed is a compression ignition engine including a first fuel supply supplying naphtha, a second fuel supply supplying diesel fuel, an EGR gas recirculation portion recirculating exhaust gas back to a combustion chamber, and a controller controlling these components. The controller determines whether an engine body is operated in a low load region or a high load region. In the low load region, the controller outputs a control signal to the first fuel supply so that at least naphtha is supplied, and outputs a control signal to the EGR gas recirculation portion such that an EGR rate becomes higher than that when the engine is operated in the high load region to make an air-fuel ratio fall within a range of 14.5 to 15.0.

Abstract: A compression ignition engine includes an engine body, a first fuel supply for supplying a first fuel, a second fuel supply for supplying a second fuel, and a controller for outputting a signal to each of the first and second fuel supplies. The second fuel less easily vaporizes than the first fuel, and has a pressure and temperature at which compression ignition is initiated and at least one of which is lower than that of the first fuel. The controller outputs a signal to the first fuel supply such that a weight of the supplied first fuel is larger than that of the supplied second fuel, and thereafter, outputs a signal to the second fuel supply such that the second fuel is supplied to a combustion chamber. A formed air-fuel mixture is compressed and ignited.

Abstract: First to third electrode layers (1) are laminated. A dielectric (22) disposed between the second and third electrode layers can be elastically deformed by pressing force from the first electrode layer-side to reduce distance between the second and third electrode layers. The first electrode layer is composed of first electrodes (Rxc) along a first direction (X). The second electrode layer is composed of second electrodes (Txcf) along a second direction (Y) intersecting the first direction. The third electrode layer is composed of third electrodes (Rxf) along a third direction (X) intersecting the second direction. During position-detection, the second electrodes (Txcf) function as transmission-side position-detection electrodes and the first electrodes function as reception-side position detection electrodes to constitute a mutual-capacitance touch panel unit (31).

Abstract: A method of controlling an intake air passage of an internal combustion engine is provided. The intake air passage cyclically communicates to a combustion chamber of the internal combustion engine, thereby inducting fresh air into said combustion chamber. The cyclic communication of the intake air passage to the combustion chamber generates a pressure wave in the intake air passage. The method comprises reducing an effective length of a transmission path of the pressure wave in an upstream direction of the intake air passage as a desired air flow to the combustion chamber decreases. In accordance with the method, the effective length of the pressure wave transmission path is reduced as desired air flow decreases. With the reduced effective length, the pressure wave bounces back and forth between ends of the transmission path more often before the next cyclic communication. The more bouncing attenuates the pressure wave at the next cyclic communication.
