  • Publication number: 20150176453
    Abstract: The purpose of the present invention is to provide an exhaust purification device that is capable of adding an appropriate amount of urea solution without the need to directly measure the NOx emissions amount using an NOx measuring means. The exhaust purification device uses urea solution as a reducing agent for reducing nitrogen oxides within exhaust, and is provided with a temperature sensor, a humidity sensor, and a control device. A map is stored in the control device, and in said map the real NOx emissions amount for each rotation speed and each load of an engine occurring at a predetermined air temperature and a predetermined absolute humidity are converted using a correction formula into a reference NOx emissions amount for each rotation speed and each load of the engine while in a standard state.

  • Publication number: 20150167524
    Abstract: The purpose of the present invention is to provide a urea solution injection nozzle in which deposition and growth of urea on the surface of the urea solution injection nozzle are minimized. A urea solution injection nozzle is provided with urea solution flow paths and gas flow paths. A mixture of urea solution and gas are injected from an injection port. A slit that is a side-surface discharge port is configured so that gas is discharged along a curved surface on the outer surface of the urea solution injection nozzle in the same direction as the injection direction of the urea solution. The slit and the flow path are connected by a branching flow path.

  • Publication number: 20140347623
    Abstract: A viewer includes a multifocal lens capable of setting one of a plurality of focal lengths. When a measuring section detects a change in gazing point distance, a selection section selects a focal length to be set among the plurality of focal lengths, and a determiner determines a time duration before a focal length of the multifocal lens is changed. A controller changes the focal length of the multifocal lens when a detector detects a blink or saccadic eye movement of the user before the determined time duration elapses.
