Abstract: A refrigerator has a device (30; 50) for opening/closing cool air discharge ports (3a).
The device includes plates (43; 52) for opening/closing the ports (3a), and a driving
device (34, 35, 36, 38; 54, 56, 58, 59, 60) for driving the plates (43; 52). The heat
exchange between an evaporator (11) and the outside warm air is prevented during
defrosting and when a door (12) is open. Hence the cooling efficiency is enhanced
and the frost caused by the outside warm air is not generated on the evaporator (17).

Abstract: The present invention pertains to a system and method for tracking object references
in an object-oriented computing system including a number of independent computing
nodes interconnected by a communications link. The reference counting mechanism
tracks references to an object at three levels. At a first level, the server handler
associated with an object is used to track local references to the object by other user
applications within the same domain. At a second level, the inter-process
communications facility (i.e., door facility) is used to track object references that are
exported to different domains within the same node. At a third level, the kernel object
request broker (ORB) is used to track object references that are exported outside the
node. When all external object references are released, the ORB notifies the object's
server handler of this occurrence. Similarly, the door facility notifies the object's
server handler when all inter-domain references have been released. The object's
server handler will initiate the appropriate reclamation procedures when it receives
notification from the ORB and the door facility and when its own local references have
been relinquished.

Abstract: An exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) mechanism of an
engine. Some of exhaust gas discharged from combustion
chambers (5) is recirculated to the combustion chambers (5)
through an EGR passage (29a). An EGR valve (29) is located
in the EGR passage (29a) for adjusting the amount of
recirculated exhaust gas. Foreign matter contained in
exhaust gas in the EGR passage (29a) adheres to a valve
shaft (56a) of the EGR valve (29) that is exposed in the EGR
passage (29a). Normally, the opening amount of the EGR
valve (29) is controlled in accordance with the running
state of the engine. If the opening amount of the EGR valve
(29), which is determined based on the running state of the
engine, is greater than a predetermined value, an ECU (30)
judges that the EGR ratio will fall within an acceptable
range even if the EGR valve (29) is fully opened from the
current position. The ECU (30) therefore forces the EGR
valve (29) to open fully. As a result, the foreign matter
adhered to the valve shaft (56a) is removed without
deteriorating the running condition of the engine.
