  • Patent number: 5413078
    Abstract: A control system in an automobile has a controller to provide an air-to-fuel ratio leaner than an ideally combustible air-to-fuel ratio when a lean control range of engine operating conditions is detected, and a controller to increase an air flow rate so as to enrich a fuel mixture when an engine operating condition is transitional to the lean control range. The control system conducts sequentially the lean control and the enrich control according to transitional patterns to the lean control range.

  • Patent number: 4909861
    Abstract: An aluminum alloy sheet according to the present invention essentially consists of an aluminum alloy containing 0.5 to 1.4% magnesium, 0.6 to 1.5% silicon, and 0.005 to 0.1% titanium, all by weight, and aluminum and inevitable impurities for the remainder, and is adjusted so that the ratio of the silicon content to the magnesium content is 0.65 or more. The average crystal grain size and the electric conductivity of the aluminum alloy sheet are 70 .mu.m or less and 43 to 51% IACS, respectively.The composition of the aluminum alloy is adjusted in this manner, and the crystal grain size and the electric conductivity are restricted within the specific ranges by controlling the manufacturing conditions. Thus, there may be provided an aluminum alloy sheet which is improved in arc-weldability and resistance to filiform corrosion, as well as in formability and bake-hardenability at low temperature.

  • Patent number: 4782810
    Abstract: A fuel injection system for an internal combustion engine having the normal crankshaft and plurality of cylinders each with an intake passage and an exhaust passage. An intake stroke detector is provided for detecting if a particular cylinder of the engine is experiencing an intake stroke. Responsive to an intake stroke being detected, a fuel injector is actuated to inject fuel into the intake passage of the particular cylinder during its intake stroke. The engine is equipped with an exhaust gas recirculation system for recirculating a part of exhaust gases from the exhaust passage to the intake passage of each cylinder. A fuel injection timing control mechanism is provided for advancing the fuel injection timing responsive to operation of the exhaust gas recirculation system to control the fuel injection period relative to the intake stroke.
