Abstract: When stopping combustion in a cylinder under a situation in which the crankshaft of an internal combustion engine having an ignition device is rotating, a controller executes a fuel introduction process of injecting fuel from a fuel injection valve and introducing the fuel from inside the cylinder to the exhaust passage without burning the fuel. Also, the controller executes a storing process before starting the fuel introduction process. In the storing process, the controller stores oxygen in a three-way catalyst by executing a fuel cutoff process of stopping fuel injection of the fuel injection valve under a situation in which the crankshaft is rotating.

Abstract: In technique for dividing ECC large in size, plural ECCs of different sizes are required to be managed and control over storage areas of NVM is intricate. In addition, a relatively reliable page (a minimum record unit) and a relatively unreliable page are determined beforehand depending upon which recording method is adopted. However, as dispersion exists in quality among NVMs, it may occur among NVMs that dispersion in an error bit count is great among pages of the same reliability. An NVM controller in a nonvolatile memory (NVM) module divides the ECCCW into N pieces (N: two or a larger integer) of ECCCW portions and records the N pieces of ECCCW portions in N pieces of storage areas out of plural storage areas in one or more NVMs configuring an NVM section.

Abstract: An inkjet printer includes a maintenance solution supply mechanism. In response to switching of a three-way valve provided in an ink pipe, a maintenance solution is supplied from a maintenance tank to each head through a maintenance pipe. The maintenance tank is a common tank. This suppresses size increase of the printer compared to provision of an individual maintenance tank for each head. The maintenance pipe is connected to the ink pipe at a position downstream of an intermediary tank. This eliminates the need of replacement of ink in the intermediary tank by the maintenance solution during supply of the maintenance solution. This allows reduction in the consumptions of the ink and the maintenance solution.
