a plurality of cylinders and a catalyst device (50) disposed in an exhaust system of the
engine, a fuel is injected to at least one selected cylinder selected from the plurality of
cylinders to be operated, and subsequently the fuel is injected to all cylinders to be
operated. At this time, a warm-up controlled variable for the at least one selected
cylinder is smaller than the warm-up controlled variable used when all cylinders are
operated. In the in-cylinder injection spark-ignition internal combustion engine, the
all cylinder operation is started and the warm-up control is started for all cylinders to
warm up the catalyst device (50) disposed in the exhaust system of the engine
preferably when a fuel injection pressure exceeds a target value (P1).

Abstract: A vibration damping apparatus using a magnetic circuit which is
easier and less expensive to manufacture than conventional apparatus is
provided. The apparatus comprises a moving member 30 placed to move
relatively away from and close to magnets 20 and 21 and made of a
magnetic material which generates attraction force between the moving
member 30 and the magnets 20 and 21, metal springs 40 and 41 as elastic
members urging the moving member 30 in a direction in which the moving
member 30 approaches the magnets 20 and 21, and rubbers 60 and 61 as
cushioning members mounted on predetermined positions to prevent the
moving member 30 from coming in contact with the magnets 20 and 21. A
negative spring constant is created by using an attracting magnetic circuit
formed between the magnets 20 and 21 and the moving member 30, and to
this, the elastic force of the metal springs 40 and 41 having a positive spring
constant with the same value as the negative spring constant is added,
whereby a total spring constant within a predetermined range of
displacement can be set to substantially near zero by a very simple
configuration.

Abstract: A driver's license imaging section comprises a structure that can
capture a driver's license's watermarks both from either its obverse or
reverse. And a driver's license imaging controller orders the driver's
license imaging section to capture the driver's license's a watermark from
its obverse. Using this result, an authenticity judging section judges
the driver's license's authenticity. Then, if the driver's license is
back-watermarked type, it is recognized as not authentic, when the
driver's license imaging controller orders the driver's license imaging
section to capture the driver's license's a watermark from its reverse.
Using this result, the authenticity judger judges if the driver's license is
authentic or not. In this way, a legal back-watermarked type driver's
license is judged authentic. Consequently, a driver's license's
authenticity can be judged properly, no matter whether the driver's
license is face-watermarked type or back-watermarked type.

Abstract: A control valve is used for a variable displacement
compressor. The compressor has a crank chamber (5) and a
supply passage (28). The control valve includes a valve
housing (45). A valve chamber (46) is defined in the valve
housing (45). A valve body (43) is accommodated in the
valve chamber (46) for adjusting the opening size of the
supply passage (28). A pressure sensing chamber (48) is
defined in the valve housing (45). A pressure sensing
member (54) separates the pressure sensing chamber (48)
into a first pressure chamber (55) and a second pressure
chamber (56). The pressure at a first pressure monitoring
point (P1) is applied to the first pressure chamber (55).
The pressure at a second pressure monitoring point (P2)
located is applied to the second pressure chamber (56).
The pressure sensing member (54) moves the valve body (43)
in accordance with the pressure difference between the
first pressure chamber (55) and the second pressure chamber
(56). The pressure sensing member (54) is a bellows or a
diaphragm. A solenoid (60) applies force to the pressure
sensing member (54) in accordance with external commands.
The force is applied by the solenoid (60) corresponds to a
target value of the pressure difference. The pressure
sensing member (54) moves the valve body (43) such that the
pressure difference seeks the target value.

Filed: 2001-11-07
Abstract: A control apparatus that promptly increases the
displacement of a compressor after the compressor is
started while liquefied refrigerant is lingering in an
external circuit (30). The control apparatus includes a
restricting passage (82). The restricting passage (82) is
located in a first pressure introduction passage (37),
through which the pressure (PdH) of the first pressure
monitoring point (P1) flows to the control valve (CV). The
restricting passage (82) decreases the pressure of
refrigerant that flows through the passage (37). When the
compressor is started while liquefied refrigerant is
lingering in the external circuit (30) and the pressure
(PdH) of the first pressure monitoring point (P1) is
abruptly increased, the restricting passage (82) reduces
the increase of the pressure that is detected by the
control valve (CV). Therefore, the displacement of the
compressor is promptly increased.

Abstract: An injection molded plastic body has a lid joined by a living hinge. A rodent
passageway extends within the body between two aligned holes. The hinge is
perpendicular to the passageway, allowing the lid to be opened when the body is
fixed adjacent a building wall. The interior of the body is divided by a raised wall
which is broken into two segments by an opening to a blind passageway extending
perpendicular to the passageway. Two rodent feeding areas are positioned adjacent
the blind passageway. Bait blocks are positioned within each feeding area on
protrusions which are received within axially extending central holes. The blocks are
clamped between underlying rings and cooperating structure depending downwardly
from the lid. Instead of bait, a mechanical trap may be positioned on two of three
protrusions aligned along the blind passageway. The mechanical trap inter-fits with
the protrusions to positively position the mechanical trap.

Abstract: The specification describes interconnection strategies for micro-electronic
machined mechanical systems (MEMS). Typical MEMS device array comprise a large
number of individual mechanical devices each electrically driven by multi-chip modules
(MCMs). High density interconnection is achieved by mounting the MCMs mounted on
both sides of a system interconnection substrate. Overall interconnection length is
reduced by locating the MCMs in a common circuit driving a given mechanical element
on opposite sides of the system interconnection substrate and interconnecting them using
vias through the substrate. Rapid replacement/repair is facilitated by mounted all active
elements in sockets using contact pin arrays for electrical connections. In service
reliability is obtained by providing spare sockets for redundant MCMs.
