An intake passage structure for a turbocharger-equipped engine () includes a supercharging passage () and an air relief passage () that are provided in a compressor case (). The air relief passage () has a first passage () and a second passage (), each of which is in a non-linear shape. The first and second passages () and () each have an air outflow port () formed through an inner wall surface of an upstream portion () of the supercharging passage () upstream of a compressor (). The air outflow ports () are formed through different portions of the inner wall surface in a circumferential direction of the inner wall surface so as to overlap with each other in a direction along a central axis of the upstream portion ().

An oil supply system for an engine is provided, which includes an oil pressure controller for controlling a variable displacement oil pump to adjust a discharge pressure thereof to reach a target oil pressure corresponding to an operating state of the engine, the variable displacement oil pump capable of adjusting a discharge amount of oil, a load detector for detecting an engine load, and an oil temperature detector for detecting an oil temperature. When the engine load is low, to increase an amount of oil mist flowing inside a crank case of the engine, the oil pressure controller controls the variable displacement oil pump to increase the discharge amount as the oil temperature becomes lower, the oil mist generated by the oil flowing out of a bearing part rotatably supporting at least a crankshaft and being atomized, the engine load being considered low when below a predetermined reference load.

Oil supply system for engine

There is provided, in one aspect of the present description, an engine. In one example, the engine comprises a cylinder block, a cylinder head, a sheet metal gasket interposed between the block and the head, a first projection projecting outwardly and laterally from a side portion of the block, and a second projection projecting outwardly and laterally from a side portion of the head, the first projection and the second projection facing each other along a coupling surface between the block and the head. The engine further comprises an extension extending from a main body of the sheet metal gasket and located between the first projection and the second projection, and a resilient portion which is provided in the extension, formed resiliently in a direction perpendicular to the coupling surface, and compressed between the first projection and the second projection when the head is fastened on the block.

The present invention is directed to chitosan-containing acrylic fibers having a total chitosan content of 0.05 to 2% by weight and an extractable chitosan content of not less than 0.03% by weight to less than the total chitosan content. The antimicrobial activity of the chitosan-containing acrylic fibers of the present invention can persist for a long period of time and is not deteriorated even when subjected to posttreatments, such as dyeing and bleaching of fibers, and treatments in usual service environments of fiber products, such as washing and ironing.

Flat filaments have a flatness (A/B) of 7 to 25, where A is a length of at least one of the two longer sides of a substantially rectangular, transverse cross-section of each filament and B is a length of at least one of the two shorter sides of the substantially rectangular, transverse cross-section of each filament. The flat filaments also have a fineness of 0.5 to 40 denier, and are provided on each of the two longer sides with one or more ribs continuously extending in a direction of an axis of the filament and having a width W and a height H. The number of the ribs on each longer side ranges from 1 to A/2W, the rib width W ranges from B/2 to 3B, and the rib height H ranges from B/2 to 2B. The filaments have excellent nontackiness and bulkiness and permit easy elimination of crimps by polishing, and can be suitably used as raw fibers which, when formed into a pile product, provide the pile product not only with a soft feeling but also with resilient and substantial feeling.

Metal-electroconductive polymer composite fine particles are here disclosed which comprises metal fine particles and an electroconductive polymer with which the surfaces of the metal fine particles are coated. Since the surfaces of the composite fine particles are coated with the polymer, the composite fine particles are excellent in handling properties and can be uniformly dispersed in an organic material.
