  • Publication number: 20180156147
    Abstract: Provided is a fuel injection control device capable of accurately detecting a valve opening delay time of a fuel injection valve, and implementing high-precision minute injection control. A valve opening delay time of a fuel injection valve is estimated on the basis of a plurality of valve closing delay times obtained when the fuel injection valve is operated with injection pulse widths that are different injection pulse widths from each other and with which the fuel injection valve is in an intermediate lift state.

  • Publication number: 20170306825
    Abstract: Provided is a CO2 recovery device of an internal combustion engine capable of efficiently recovering CO2 emitted from an internal combustion engine or CO2 in the air, and of efficiently synthesizing methane using CO2. A CO2 recovery device of an internal combustion engine includes a CO2 capturing material disposed at a through channel of gas including CO2 to capture CO2 in the gas, and methanation catalyst to let CO2 desorbed from the CO2 capturing material react with H2 obtained from a H2 supply source to generate methane. The CO2 recovery device has a function to raise temperature of the CO2 capturing material using heat generated from the internal combustion engine to desorb CO2.

  • Patent number: 8765310
    Abstract: A nonaqueous electrolytic solution which may suppress the overcharge of a battery and a nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery using the solution are provided. The overcharge of the battery is suppressed by undergoing the electrolytic polymerization in the solution when the battery is overcharged, and simultaneously more effectively suppressed by increasing the internal resistance of the battery. The nonaqueous electrolytic solution comprises a polymer which undergoes the electrolytic polymerization in the range of 4.3V or more to 5.5V or less at the lithium metal standard voltage, having a repeating unit represented by the formula (1), an electrolytic salt and a nonaqueous solvent. [where, A is a functional group which undergoes the electrolytic polymerization in the range of 4.3V or more to 5.

  • Patent number: 7592085
    Abstract: A fuel cell comprises an anode oxidizing a fuel, a cathode reducing an oxidizing agent, a polymer electrolyte disposed between the anode and the cathode, whereby an assembly is constituted by the anode, cathode and polymer electrolyte, a pair of gas diffusion layers disposed at both sides of the assembly of the anode, and the cathode, a bipolar plate for providing the fuel to the gas diffusion layer, and another bipolar plate for providing the oxidizing agent to the gas diffusion layer, wherein at least one of the gas diffusion layers includes a porous gas diffusion layer substrate having a hydrophilic surface layer, and wherein particles of a water-repellent material are dispersed in pores of the porous gas diffusion layer substrate. This results in a higher cell voltage and a higher power at a high current density, prevention of a flooding and a longer cell lifetime.
