Abstract: An engine (1) has an exhaust manifold (12) provided with a communicating portion (25B) of a bypass line (25) from an air-supply side and a branch portion (31A) to an EGR line (31). When an exhaust gas outlet (13) is provided in an intermediary of the exhaust manifold (12) in a longitudinal direction along an engine cylinder line, the communicating portion (25B) of the bypass line (25) and the branch portion (31A) of the EGR line (31) that are provided on the exhaust manifold (12) are provided on both sides in the longitudinal direction sandwiching the exhaust gas outlet (13) and spaced apart from each other so that a part of the exhaust gas is pushed by an air supply fed from the bypass line (25) is pushed to enter the EGR line (31).

Abstract: An intake controller installed in a diesel engine, wherein the control part of a valve controller fully opens a bypass valve in a bypass passage when it determines that the operating state of the diesel engine is suddenly decelerated from a middle and high speed and middle and high load range. Accordingly, the control part can feed an intake air from the outlet passage side of a compressor to the inlet passage side of an exhaust turbine, and can rapidly lower the rotational speed of an exhaust turbine supercharger (20) which tends to be rotated at a high speed by inertia. As a result, since the operating state not enter a surging area while an operating point is moving, surging can be securely avoided.

Abstract: In an open/close control device 40 installed in a diesel engine 1, when a rotational speed N of the diesel engine 1 is equal to or higher than an intermediate rotational speed and a fuel injection amount is equal to or less than an idling injection amount Fi, a control portion 33 of a valve opening and closing controlling means 30 determines that the diesel engine is in such a state that engine brake is to be actuated, and controls to close both a bypass valve 24 and an EGR valve 52. Accordingly, since there is no fear that exhaust gas returns from an inlet line side of an exhaust turbine 22 to an outlet line side of a compressor 21, the engine brake can be effectively actuated during running at high speeds and running on a downward slope.

Abstract: cDNAs (RISBZ1, RISBZ4, and RISBZ5) encoding bZIP transcription factors were isolated from a cDNA library originating in rice plant seed. The cDNAs encode novel proteins and have binding activity to the GCN4 motif. Among them, RISBZ1 activated transcription mediated by the GCN4 motif by 100-fold or more. Since the expression of RISBZ1 precedes the expression of a seed storage protein gene and is expressed only in maturing seeds, it is suggested that RISBZ1 controls the expression of rice seed storage proteins. In addition, by linking the recognition sequence of the transcription factor, the GCN4 motif, in tandem and introducing it into the promoter for a gene encoding seed storage protein to facilitate its binding to the transcription factor RISBZ1, expression of a foreign gene under the control of the modified promoters is greatly enhanced.

Abstract: Cylinder heads (100a to 100f are respectively provided with fuel injectors (101a to 101f). Each of the fuel injectors (101a to 101f) is connected to each of joints (105a to 105f) in a common rail (105) extending linearly through fuel injection pipes (103a to 103f). In this example, it can be achieved to allow all the fuel injection pipes (103a to 103f) to have the same length by crossing the injection pipes (103b, 103c, 103d and 103e) to connect. With this configuration, it is possible to reduce the irregularities in the amount of fuel injection and to enhance the engine performance.

Abstract: A bypass conduit (23) connects an outlet passage of a compressor (21) of an exhaust gas turbocharger (20) and an inlet passage of an exhaust turbine (22), and a bypass valve (24) is provided therein. When the operating condition of a diesel engine (1) is found to be in a low-speed and high-load region, the bypass valve (24) is controlled by means of a valve controller to adjust the bypass conduit (23) so as to open it. Then, the charge air partly flows into an exhaust conduit (4) to increase the rotational speed of the exhaust turbine (22) and hence the charge air flow rate raises the output of the diesel engine (1). Additionally, as the charge air flow rate is increased, the operating condition of a compressor (21) is prevented from approaching the surging range.

Abstract: A control method of an EGR system of an engine capable of effectively performing an EGR control at a time of rapid acceleration. For this purpose, an intake air flow rate of the engine is obtained, and from a target EGR valve opening degree and a difference in pressure in front of and behind the EGR valve, a virtual EGR gas flow rate is arithmetically operated. A virtual EGR rate is obtained from the intake air flow rate, the fuel flow rate and the virtual EGR gas flow rate, and a difference from or a ratio to a target EGR rate obtained from the engine speed and the fuel flow rate is obtained. A command EGR valve opening degree is obtained from an EGR valve opening degree correction coefficient obtained from the difference or the ratio, and the target EGR valve opening degree, whereby the EGR vale is driven.
