A unit plate, which holds electric circuit components including power supply terminals, is secured to a housing cover, which is, in turn, connected to a housing to close an opening of the housing. The housing cover includes guide walls, which extend in a direction generally parallel to a fitting direction of an external connector to guide the unit plate in such a manner that a second end of each power supply terminal held by the unit plate is received in a connector housing part of the housing c...

A second tank for accommodating a sample is disposed within a first tank. A heater for heating gas is provided inside the second tank. A heater controller controls the heater such that temperature of gas becomes a set temperature. A guide portion which guides condensed dew such that the condensed dew can flow downward and reach the outer surface of the second tank is provided on the inner surface of the first tank.

There is provided a method of manufacturing an electro-optical device from a large substrate that is cut into a plurality of first substrates having a chip shape. In the electro-optical device, second substrates of a chip shape are bonded to the first substrates. The method includes adhering a large glass substrate to approximately an entire surface of the large substrate opposite to a surface to which the second substrates are bonded; and cutting both the large substrate and the large glass sub...

A vibration diagnosis is performed by using a vibration mode interactive query section grasping vibration event of a machinery such as turbine rotor and characteristic feature thereof from detected data information, a vibration factor diagnosis section estimating a vibration factor based on the information from the vibration mode interactive query section, and a diagnosis result display section indicating the estimated vibration factor and a guidance for countermeasure to be taken against the vi...

A system for detecting failure of a fuel pressure sensor in an internal combustion engine, including an injector (32) provided at an intake system of the engine downstream of a throttle valve (38), a fuel supply passage (16) connected to a fuel supply source (fuel tank 12) for supplying fuel to the injector (32), pressure regulator (28) provided in the fuel supply passage (16) and operating to maintain a difference between the fuel pressure (PF2A) and the manifold absolute pressure at a constant...

An air-fuel ratio control system for an internal combustion engine includes an ECU which cuts off fuel supply to the engine at deceleration thereof, measures a fuel cut-off period over which the fuel cut-off means cuts off fuel supply to the engine, and enriches the air-fuel ratio of a mixture supplied to the engine to a degree dependent upon the measured fuel cut-off period, at the restart of fuel supply to the engine immediately after termination of cutting-off of fuel supply to the engine. Wh...

A method of making an electric motor where the motor has a reduction gear and a gear cover mounted thereon. An opening is formed through the gear cover at a location corresponding to a connection portion. A pressure member is inserted into the gear cover through the opening and is pressed against another pressure member to squeeze a choke coil and a connection plate. High current may flow through the pressure members for a short time to weld the choke coil and the connection plate together by wa...
