  • Patent number: 4985709
    Abstract: A magnetostatic wave device comprises a ferrimagnetic base material such as a thin film of YIG (yttrium iron garnet). The ferrimagnetic base material is formed on a supporting plate, for example, a GGG (gadolinium gallium garnet) substrate. On one principal surface of the thin ferrimagnetic base material, a first coupling antenna is formed. Furthermore, on one principal surface of the ferrimagnetic base material, second coupling antennas are formed on both sides of the first coupling antenna. In this magnetostatic wave device, the magnetostatic wave propagated from the first coupling antenna toward both sides of the first coupling antenna is received by the second coupling antennas on both sides of the first coupling antenna.

  • Patent number: 4787357
    Abstract: An intake system utilizing an air-fuel control which is changed in accordance with the coolant temperature. When the coolant temperature is lower than the first coolant temperature, an open loop control is carried out in accordance with the coolant temperature so that a fluctuation of the air-fuel ratio can be restricted so as to obtain a stability. An air-fuel feedback control is carried out between the first and second coolant temperatures wherein the air-fuel ratio is maintained at the stoichiometric value so that an increase of NO.sub.X emitted from the engine can be suppressed. In the region in which the coolant temperature exceeds the second temperature, an air-fuel feedback control is carried out in the lean mixture side of the stoichiometric value in accordance with the coolant temperature to thereby improve the emission performance of the engine.
