20090033934 | DROPLET FORMATION APPARATUS AND METHODS FOR FORMING DROPLET AND CALIBRATING PARTICLE SIZE MEASUREMENT APPARATUS - A droplet formation apparatus is provided for calibrating a particle size measurement apparatus. A vessel stores sample liquid. A pressure unit applies predetermined pressure to the sample liquid in the vessel. An oscillator is provided to one surface of the vessel for applying oscillation, which has a predetermined frequency, to the sample liquid in the vessel. An orifice is provided to an other surface of the vessel. The orifice has at least one discharge hole. The orifice is configured to form a droplet, which has a predetermined particle size, from the sample liquid and configured to discharge the droplet in accordance with the predetermined pressure and the predetermined frequency applied to the sample liquid in the vessel. | 02-05-2009 |
20090084339 | INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE - A cylinder of an internal combustion engine is communicated with intake ports. Each of intake valves and each of fuel injection valves are provided to a corresponding one of the intake ports to inject fuel into a combustion chamber through a curved portion and an opening of the corresponding intake port. An injection axis of each fuel injection valve intersects with a surface of the corresponding intake valve placed in a close position at an intersecting point that is located on an upstream side of a central axis of the corresponding intake valve. | 04-02-2009 |
20090241904 | FUEL SUPPLY PIPE DEVICE AND FUEL INJECTION DEVICE HAVING THE SAME - An internal combustion engine has multiple cylinders each provided with multiple injectors. A fuel supply pipe device includes multiple fuel passages, which receive fuel through multiple fuel paths and supply the fuel correspondingly to the multiple injectors. The multiple fuel passages are separated respectively from the multiple fuel passages. | 10-01-2009 |
20090241905 | MOUNT STRUCTURE OF FUEL INJECTION VALVE AND FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM - A combustion chamber side end portion of a fuel injection valve is placed at a location that overlaps with an imaginary plane, which is perpendicular to a center axis of a cylinder and extends along a portion of a wall surface of an intake port where an intake valve protrudes, or is projected out from the imaginary plane toward a combustion chamber. Alternatively, a center of a fuel injecting side end port of the fuel injection valve, which injects fuel into intake air that flows in a branch port branched from the intake port, may be placed on the center axis side of the intake valve in a radial direction of the cylinder. Further alternatively, an upstream side fuel injection valve may inject fuel into intake air that flows in the intake port, and a downstream side fuel injection valve may inject fuel into intake air that flows in the branch port branched from the intake port. Alternatively, an injection quantity of fuel may be controlled for each of fuel injection valves, which injects fuel into intake air that flows in the corresponding branch port branched from the intake port. | 10-01-2009 |
20090248275 | FUEL SUPPLY SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR SUPPLYING FUEL - A fuel supply system supplies composite fuel containing alcohol and gasoline to multiple cylinders of an internal combustion engine. The composite fuel includes main-fuel and sub-fuel. The sub-fuel is lower than main-fuel in concentration of alcohol. Each of multiple first fuel injection valves is provided to each of the cylinders for injecting fuel. Each of multiple second fuel injection valves is provided to each of the cylinders for injecting fuel. A fuel inlet portion supplies at least sub-fuel to each of the first fuel injection valves and each of the second fuel injection valves. A selector control unit selects one of main-fuel and sub-fuel supplied through the fuel inlet portion to each of the first fuel injection valves. | 10-01-2009 |

Alternatively, an injection quantity of fuel may be controlled for each of fuel injection valves, which injects fuel into intake air that flows in the corresponding branch port branched from the intake port. | 09-30-2010 |
20110315005 | Pressure Relief Valve and High Pressure Pump with Such Valve - A valve member of a pressure relief valve has a shaft portion, a pressure receiving portion, and a guide portion, wherein the valve member is axially movable in a fuel return passage. When a forward end of the shaft portion is seated on a valve seta, the fuel return passage is closed, while the shaft portion is separated from the valve seat the fuel return passage is opened. A notched portion is formed at an outer wall of the guide portion to thereby form an outer-surface passage. A fuel inlet port is formed in the valve member for communicating a fuel inlet chamber to the fuel return passage at a downstream side of the valve member. | 12-29-2011 |
20130000605 | MOUNT STRUCTURE OF FUEL INJECTION VALVE AND FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM - A fuel injection system, and a structure for mounting a fuel injection valve to an internal combustion engine, that includes: a combustion chamber formed at an end surface of a piston that reciprocates in a cylinder; an intake port through which intake air drawn into the combustion chamber flows; and an intake valve that opens and closes a connection between the intake port and the combustion chamber, the fuel injection valve being placed to inject fuel into intake air in the intake port, wherein an end portion of the fuel injection valve located on a combustion chamber side thereof is placed at a location that overlaps with an imaginary plane perpendicular to a center axis of the cylinder and extends along a portion of a wall surface of the intake port where the intake valve protrudes, or is projected out from the imaginary plane toward the combustion chamber. | 01-03-2013 |
