Abstract: An ignition device for an internal combustion engine is provided which improves ignition while reducing electric power consumption. An ignition device for an internal combustion engine includes an ignition plug that is placed with a tip exposed on an end in an axial direction of a combustion chamber formed in a cylinder and that includes a central electrode and a grounding electrode provided opposing each other at the tip, and a magnetic field former that forms a magnetic field in a direction in which a magnetic field vector substantially vertically passes through an approximate two-dimensional plane including a spark discharge path formed, by a gas flow ejected to the end in the axial direction of the combustion chamber, between the central electrode and the grounding electrode, and extending in an approximate U shape in a direction orthogonal to the opposing direction of the electrodes.

Abstract: A wireless device is possessed by a user. A reporting unit reports, to a management device, status information regarding the surrounding environment of the wireless device and position information of the wireless device. A requesting unit requests the management device to perform guidance to an evacuation route. An accepting unit accepts an instruction for guidance to an evacuation route from the management device when the requesting unit does not request guidance. A notification unit performs notification of an evacuation route.

Abstract: A receiving unit receives positional information of a terminal device. A storage unit stores a list in which a plurality of correspondence relationships between an area and an identifier are included. An adjusting unit adjusts the correspondence relationship included in the list. A first selection unit selects, from the adjusted list, an identifier corresponding to the received positional information. A first transmission unit transmits the selected identifier to the terminal device. An input unit inputs information on an area to be called. A second selection unit selects, from the adjusted list, an identifier corresponding to the input information. A second transmission unit transmits a call signal including the selected identifier.

A control unit makes, when the identifier included in the call signal received in the communication unit matches the identifier selected in the selection unit, the communication unit execute communication.

Abstract: A reception unit receives positional information of a terminal device from the terminal device via a base station device that uses at least one of a plurality of channels. A generation unit generates channel information related to a channel in scan processing of the terminal device on the basis of the positional information received by the reception unit. A transmission unit transmits the channel information generated by the generation unit to the terminal device via the base station device.

Abstract: In a spark ignition engine, a thermal insulation thin layer is formed over a wall surface, facing an inside of a combustion chamber, of a base material forming the combustion chamber, and for a thermal conductivity ? [W/(m·K)], a thermal diffusivity ? [mm2/s], and a thickness L [?m] of the thermal insulation thin layer, L?16.7×? and L?207.4×(?)0.5 are satisfied. With such a configuration, a heat loss Q_total escaping from gas in a cylinder to the wall of the combustion chamber over all strokes can be reduced, and the thermal efficiency can be improved without inducing degradation of knocking due to an increase in an amount of heating Q_intake of the gas in the cylinder during an intake stroke.

Abstract: A controller for a free piston generator that is capable of more accurately controlling the behavior of a piston than conventional controllers is provided. During power generation of a free piston generator 10, a controller 18 controls the amount of power generation to cause the velocity of a piston 14 to reach a first velocity command value (for an expansion stroke) and a second velocity command value (for a compression stroke) by electric braking. During motoring, the controller 18 controls the amount of power supply to cause the velocity of the piston 14 to reach the first and second velocity command values. The controller 18 sets the first and second velocity command values by setting first and second velocity command values for a certain round-trip period based on a top dead center position and a bottom dead center position of the piston 14 for the previous round-trip period.

Abstract: When temperature of lubricating oil is raised at a time of low-temperature, of an outer peripheral side of a radial plain bearing in a bearing retaining unit, heat is not supplied from a heating medium in a thermal medium flow path on the outer peripheral side of a halved bearing metal in a bearing retaining unit body, which has a large thermal capacity, and instead, heat is supplied from the heating medium in the thermal medium flow path on the outer peripheral side of a halved bearing metal in the cap, which has a small thermal capacity.

Abstract: A casing for electrical equipment has a drip-proof structure and includes a first plate and a second plate. The first plate has a plurality of first openings and a plurality of tongue-shaped louvers disposed in the respective first openings. Each louver has a lower end continuous to the first plate. The upper end side of each louver is folded to a back side of the first plate, The second plate is disposed on a front of the first plate. The second plate has a plurality of second openings each having a smaller area than each first opening. The first and second plates are overlapped with each other so that the first and second openings communicate with each other, forming a louver structure. The first and second plates are coated in the overlapped state with a result that a gap between them is filled with a paint.
