Abstract: An ignition coil includes a primary coil, a secondary coil, a center core, an outer core, an igniter, a coil case and an electrically-insulative fixation resin. On an interior surface of the coil case on a bottom part side in a mounting direction, there is formed a case-side rib to protrude from the interior surface of the coil case to a high-voltage side in an axial direction. The case-side rib has a taper shape such that the protruding amount of the case-side rib to the high-voltage side in the axial direction increases in the mounting direction toward the bottom part side. The case-side rib is arranged to abut a corner portion of the igniter on the bottom part side in the mounting direction and on a low-voltage side in the axial direction and thereby press the igniter against the outer core.

Abstract: In some examples, a first node is able to communicate with one or more second nodes for participating in a consensus system. The first node may receive, from a computing device, a request to execute a first smart contract associated with a first blockchain. The first node may invoke execution of the first smart contract to cause the first smart contract to execute a transaction by reading at least a portion of transaction data from the first blockchain as a transaction result. Further, the first node may check whether a simulation indicator has been set, which indicates that an expiration time of the first smart contract has been reached. Based on determining that the first smart contract has the simulation indicator set, the first node refrains from writing the transaction result to the blockchain as a valid transaction result and sends the transaction result to the computing device.

Abstract: An ignition coil for use in an internal combustion engine includes a primary coil, a secondary coil, a core, and a magnet. The core creates a closed magnetic circuit through which magnetic flux produced upon energization of the primary coil flows. The core has formed therein a gap through which the magnetic circuit passes.

The orientation of the magnetization vectors in the magnet minimizes an energy loss when primary energy is transformed into secondary energy.
