Abstract: The present invention relates to an electrical protective circuit, used when abnormality occurs, in a vibration suppressing apparatus which changes the load torque on a generator such as an alternator fixed on the engine to generate an angle moment on the generator body to cancel rough idling engine vibrations to suppress vehicle body vibrations due to the rough idling. In the inventive vibration suppressing apparatus, a generator is fixed on the engine which generator includes a voltage regulator to control a field winding current such that a fixed voltage is output to a battery. The generation of engine rough idling is detected on the basis of either a change in the engine speed or a change in the engine vibrations. If rough idling is detected, a high voltage circuit is connected to the field winding to increase the field winding current and hence the load torque on the generator.

Abstract: A method of detecting the condition of combustion in each cylinder of an internal combustion engine while monitoring a variation in rotation of a crankshaft in the engine for each cylinder, in which the degree of irregular combustion is judged based on the magnitude of the rotational variation, and/or in which the condition of combustion in a succeeding cylinder is judged based on the difference between rotational variations within one combustion period, of adjacent cylinders, and/or in which the rotational ascending rate within one combustion period, of each cylinder is detected to judge the condition of combustion in the cylinder based on the dropping state of the rotational ascending rate, and/or in which the rotational angular acceleration within one combustion period, of each cylinder is detected to thereby judge that a predetermined cylinder is in a condition of irregular combustion when the quantity of the variation in rotational angular acceleration between adjacent cylinders exceeds a predetermined v

Abstract: In a vehicle vibration reduction control apparatus for controlling an alternator driven by an engine to charge a battery in such a way that vehicle body vibration due to the engine can be cancelled by alternator vibration, the reference voltage applied to an alternator field coil is reduced by a predetermined value for a predetermined time period, whenever battery terminal voltage exceeds a predetermined level. Since the battery charging rate can be reduced automatically at battery overcharge due to cancellation of engine vibration by alternator vibration, it is possible to prevent the battery from being overcharged when engine vibration increases at idling, for instance.

Abstract: The variable capacity swash plate compressor of the present invention includes a rotary swash plate having an eccentric mass located opposite to the driving point of the swash plate with respect to the axis of the same. The mass distribution in the rotary swash plate is established such that, within a range in which the piston stroke is less than a predetermined value, a moment about a pivot point produced by the rotation of the swash plate becomes larger than a moment produced by the reciprocating motion of pistons, piston rods and the like and acting upon the swash plate, while, within a range in which the stroke is larger than the predetermined value, the former moment becomes smaller than the latter moment. Accordingly, it is possible to provide a compressor of the type in which its capacity control characteristics are improved over a wide shaft speed range.
