Abstract: An engine is described that has a variable valve timing
system. Under low and medium load operation of the engine,
the valve timing system sets an extended valve overlap
period and fuel is injected predominantly during this
extended overlap period either into the intake ports or
directly into the combustion chambers. The effect is that
the fuel is heated by the internally recirculated exhaust
gases which pre-conditions the fuel to improve ignitability
and combustion quality.

corresponding slit is made while moving the cutting
positions of the hole-making punch (5) slowly from the
ends, a large load is not exerted on the pipe (1) at one

Abstract: In a power supply system for converting the output
of a DC power supply having a capacitance to ground to
AC power, an input voltage from an input-voltage
detecter (12) and intermediate voltage from an
intermediate-voltage detector (13) are input to an
input-ripple controller (17). The latter calculates the
difference between ripple voltages of the two voltages.
The input-ripple controller adjusts the size of a ripple
command value, which indicates the ripple current that
is to be input to a converter circuit (7), so as to null
the difference between the ripple voltages. Furthermore,
using a ripple reference waveform having a DC level, the
input-ripple controller generates a ripple current
waveform so as to null the average value of a full-wave
rectified waveform synchronized to the output of an
inverter circuit (9), and outputs the generated ripple
current waveform to an output calculator (18). The
output calculator (18) adds the DC current command from
the input-voltage controller (15) and the ripple current
waveform from the input ripple controller (17) to
thereby generate an output current waveform, which is
output to a converter circuit driver (16).

Abstract: During the start up of a hydrogen generating device having a hydrogen separator
membrane (62) which separates hydrogen from a reformed gas, a starting control is
executed in accordance with the temperature of the hydrogen separator membrane (62).
When the hydrogen separating membrane (62) is in a low temperature condition, a lean
burn operation is carried out in a reformer in order to conduct warm-up while
suppressing generation of hydrogen. At the timing t1 where the temperature of the
hydrogen separator membrane (62) has reached the temperature at which hydrogen
embrittlement does not occur, reforming is initiated. In such conditions, oxygen is
supplied to the hydrogen which is permeated through the hydrogen separator membrane for
burning the hydrogen, so as to further facilitate the warm-up. At the timing t2 where
the temperature has reached the operation temperature, the supply of oxygen in a purge
side is stopped so as to stop the burning of hydrogen,
and the operation mode is shifted
to a normal operation.

Abstract: A captured image is processed with one or more correction
processes selected from a plurality of such processes, each associated with
correction of a specific type of image defect, in order to improve the appearance
of a viewed image generated from the captured image. Preliminary to the image
processing, meta data related to image capture is obtained that is unique to each
captured image, where the meta data is capable of indicating whether the specific
types of image defects are likely to be present in the viewed image generated from
the captured image. The processing then involves predicting the presence of the
image defects based at least in part on the meta data, thereby generating process
application criteria which indicate a level of image defect that if left untreated
would reduce the perceived quality of the viewed image; selecting one or more
correction processes to employ on the captured image based on the process
application criteria; and applying the one or more selected correction processes to
the captured image to generate the viewed image.
