Abstract: A cylinder injection high-pressure fuel pump (200) prevents the pulsations of fuel
generated by a high-pressure fuel pump (200) from spreading to a low-pressure pipe
connected to a low pressure end. The cylinder injection high-pressure fuel pump has:
a casing (1) in which an inlet passage (2) for taking fuel in and a discharge passage
(35) for draining the fuel are formed; a cylinder (30) formed in the casing (1); a fuel
pressurizing chamber (32) formed in a part of the cylinder (30); and a plunger (31)
disposed in the cylinder (30) such that it may reciprocate therein. As the plunger (31)
reciprocates, the fuel is taken into the fuel pressurizing chamber (32) through the inlet
passage (2) and pressurized therein, then the pressurized fuel is discharged through
the discharge passage (35) and forcibly fed into a fuel injector of a cylinder injection
type engine. The inlet passage (2) is equipped with a check valve (70).

Abstract: the method involves coating the inner wall of through holes in a substrate (9a,9b) with a flowing material. The substrate is positioned and fixed. The flowing material is uniformly distributed over a pressure sieve (14,16), which is lowered onto the substrate. The side (9b) of the substrate away from the sieve causes a vacuum which sucks the material into the through holes to moisten the inner wall (24). A moving element is moved over the sieve to press the material into the openings and at least partially fill it and the opening is closed. A vacuum acts on the sieve side (9a) of the substrate to suck the still fluid material out of the holes, whereby the substrate opening is simultaneously opened again.

Abstract: When an air conditioner is turned on during homogeneous
operation, an equivalence ratio correction factor Δ is
increased sharply and suddenly in such a manner as to show a jump
for thereby increasing an engine output torque, and thereafter
is decreased gradually with increase of a cylinder intake air
quantity, whereby to maintain the engine output toque constant.
However, when switching to a homogeneous mode occurs in the middle
of the above control, it is not carried out switching to proper
torque correction at the time of a homogeneous combustion mode,
i.e., torque correction by the use of ignition timing but the
torque correction by the equivalence ratio correction factor
Δ continuously. By this, in contrast to the case the torque
correction is switched to such one that is carried out by the use
of ignition timing correction quantity, a sharp and sudden
variation of engine output toque can be prevented. In the
meantime, after completion of the torque correction by the above
mentioned control, the torque correction at the time of the
homogeneous combustion mode is carried out by ignition timing
correction. Further, when the combustion mode is switched to
stratified combustion during execution of torque correction by
ignition timing correction at the time of the homogeneous
combustion mode, the torque correction is switched to such one
that is carried out by the use of the equivalence ratio correction
factor simultaneously with switching of the combustion mode.

Abstract: A safety system comprises a safety switch (D) or safety detector connected between a voltage source (Uv1) and a control circuit. An earthing resistance (R) is connected to the line between the detector and circuit and ground.

Abstract: Information transmitted from an information origin is transferred
from one mobile station to another. At this time, in the mobile station,
the transmission of the information is controlled so that the information
is not transmitted to a distance more than a predetermined value from the
position of the information origin. A valid period of the information is
defined and only the information within the valid period is transmitted.
Alternatively, controls are carried out in order to avoid overlapping of
the transfer paths and detours of them. Particularly, if a density of
the mobile stations becomes high, the quantity of the information to be
transferred increases tremendously. Therefore, it is necessary to select
and limit the information to be transferred. If the mobile station is a
portable information terminal and a personal user has this portable
information terminal, the information origin is a retail store and
transmits special sale information and the like as well as position
information. The user holding the portable information terminal may go
to the special sale store after seeing the special sale information, and
if he feels no interest in it, he leaves the special sale store. When
the user is walking on the street after leaving the store, the portable
information terminal held by the user who was in the store exchanges
information with an information portable terminal of the other users.
While repeating the exchange of the information, the information reaches
to a person who has an interest in the special sale information.
