A management device includes a processor. The processor is configured to acquire setting information for onboard equipment used by a user in a vehicle, vehicle model information for the vehicle, and identification information for the user, convert the setting information that has been acquired into new setting information based on the vehicle model information, and provide the new setting information to onboard equipment used by the user corresponding to the identification information in a new vehicle.

An onboard voice outputting device includes: a judging section that judges whether or not an occupant of a vehicle is alone; and an outputting section that, in a case in which it is judged by the judging section that the occupant of the vehicle is alone, outputs information, which is an object of outputting, to a voice outputting section that is installed in the vehicle and that outputs information by voice into a vehicle cabin.

Onboard voice outputting device, voice outputting device, voice outputting method, and computer-readable storage medium

An onboard control device includes: a deriving section that, on the basis of information that is an object of outputting, derives a conveying degree that expresses an extent to which it is desired to convey the information that is the object of outputting to each of plural occupants who exist within a vehicle; a selecting section that, in accordance with the conveying degrees of each of the vehicle occupants that have been derived by the deriving section, selects an outputting device that is to output the information that is the object of outputting, from among plural outputting devices that exist within the vehicle; and a control section that carries out control for causing the information, which is the object of outputting, to be outputted from the outputting device selected by the selecting section.

Provided is an oil separator that operates in an efficient manner as a whole for collection of oil mist in blowby gas as multiple oil separator units collect the oil mist equally regardless of various particle sizes thereof. The oil separator includes a distribution chamber distributing blowby gas, an introducing hole introducing the blowby gas into the distribution chamber, at least one set of oil separator units disposed in symmetry relative to at least one plane having an axis extending through an axis of the introducing hole of axes of flowing directions of the blowby gas entering the distribution chamber through the introducing hole, and distribution channels causing the blowby gas to flow from the distribution chamber to the respective oil separator units.

An ejector includes: a decompression chamber in an outer pipe on an air entrance side; a throat in the outer pipe on an air exit side; a nozzle in the outer pipe on the air entrance side, the nozzle having a leading end portion placed in a decompression chamber to inject air; and a suction port in the decompression chamber to suck blow-by gas into the decompression chamber. The air injected from the nozzle generates negative pressure in the decompression chamber to suck in blow-by gas through the suction port, and the sucked gas is discharged together with air through a throat. The valve in the nozzle includes a valve seat, a valve element, and a spring to press the valve element in a direction to separate from the valve seat. The valve element is formed with a bottom-closed cavity opening toward an upstream side of an air flow.

An oil separator is provided that efficiently recovers oil mist in blow-by gas regardless of differences in particle diameter. The oil separator includes a supply space to which blow-by gas from an internal combustion engine is supplied, and multiple cyclone-type oil separation units arranged along the gas supply direction, each having a cylindrical cylinder case part to which the blow-by gas from the supply space is supplied. An inner diameter of the cylinder case part of the oil separation unit is set larger with the oil separation unit arranged more upstream in the gas supply direction.

To provide an oil separator including multiple cones and having a simple structure and high trapping efficiency for oil mist. An oil separator can include multiple cones arranged in a line and a chamber for blow-by gas, which is formed in adjacent to the line of the cones, and arranged at an upper side surface of the cones, the chamber being provided with a flow-in port at a position in front of the line of the cones, in which upper outer peripheral walls of the cones at portions facing the chamber constitute partition walls provided with slits, which constitute inlets for the blow-by gas to enter the cones.

An intake passage has an upstream portion in an upstream side of a supercharger, an intermediate portion between a supercharger and a throttle valve, and a downstream portion in a downstream side of the throttle valve. A first breather passage connects an interior of an engine with the downstream portion. A second breather passage connects the interior of the engine with the upstream portion. Introduction passages communicate the upstream portion with the interior of the engine at a non-supercharging time, and connect at least one of the intermediate portion and the downstream portion with the interior of the engine at a supercharging time. Thus, the interior of the engine is efficiently ventilated.
