Abstract: An energization instruction switch switches energization instruction signals to instruct energization of fuel injection valves. A first cylinder designation switch designates one of the energization instruction signals to designate a valve closing detection cylinder. A valve closing detection unit monitors downstream voltage of the fuel injection valve to detect occurrence of an inflection point in change of the downstream voltage to detect a valve closing. A second cylinder designation switch designates one of the downstream voltages and designates the valve closing detection cylinder. A valve closing time measuring unit measures a valve closing time, which is from a switching timing of the energization instruction signal from ON to OFF to a valve closing detection timing, for injection of the valve closing detection cylinder. A valve closing time learning unit learns the valve closing time measured by the valve closing time measuring unit.

Abstract: A catheter includes a tubular inner layer, a reinforcing layer disposed at least partially within the inner layer or on an outer circumference of the inner layer, and an outer layer. The reinforcing member is made of wound wires, each adjacent pair of the wires having a gap therebetween. A bonding portion is disposed in the gap of the reinforcing layer and includes an inner layer protruding portion of the inner layer that extends into the outer layer and is engaged with an outer layer protruding portion of the outer layer that extends into the inner layer. This configuration enlarges the area across which the outer layer and the inner layer are bonded to each other within the gap of the reinforcing layer, leading to a strengthened bond between the outer layer and the inner layer.
