A purge system malfunction diagnosis device is configured to diagnose a malfunction in a purge system mounted on a vehicle. The purge system includes a canister, a purge passage, a purge valve capable of opening and closing the purge passage, an outside air passage configured to cause the canister to communicate with an outside air opening, an outside air valve capable of opening and closing the outside air passage, and a system pressure sensor configured to detect a pressure in the purge system. In a state where the outside air passage is closed, a diagnosis mode is executed on a basis of a relationship between the pressure in the purge system and an integrated value of flow rate estimates of a purge gas. In the diagnosis mode, a parameter to be used for diagnosing a malfunction in the purge system is adjusted in a case where the flow rate estimate is lower than a flow rate threshold.

A urea solution reformer and an exhaust gas purifier is configured to heat a carrier gas supplied from a carrier gas source by a carrier gas heating unit, to inject the carrier gas heated by the carrier gas heating unit from a carrier gas injecting nozzle, and to cause a urea solution to be supplied by a first urea solution supply nozzle to a tip end of the carrier gas injecting nozzle so that the urea solution is atomized by the carrier gas injected from the carrier gas injecting nozzle. Provided to face toward the carrier gas injecting nozzle is a catalyst unit for decomposing the atomized urea solution to reform it into an ammonia gas. An ammonia gas supply nozzle is attached to an exhaust pipe of an engine so as to supply the ammonia gas discharged from an outlet of the catalyst unit into the exhaust pipe.

Provided is a digital camera including an electronic dial and a mode dial on an upper portion of a camera main unit, where upper surfaces of these dials approximately flush with an upper surface of the main unit, and are arranged in parallel with the optical axis of the main unit. The length from the upper end to the lower end of the mode dial is approximately the same as the length from the upper end of the electronic dial to a lower end of an encoder arranged below the electronic dial. This configuration forms a space in a box shape below these dials, and the space below the electronic dial can be efficiently used by setting the space as the storage portion for a recording medium to be inserted from the outside, resulting in downsizing the camera without sacrificing the operability.

Digital camera with storage portion provided beneath electronic and mode dials

A cell separation apparatus comprises a means for moving a cell within a cell separating space by applying an electrical voltage to cells in the cell separating space using gel electrodes, and channels for separating and discharging the cell, which thus does not damage a cell sample and prevents the exhaustion of an electrode due to its electrolysis.

A manual focusing mechanism, of an imaging apparatus provided with a lens system that includes a focusing lens group, which changes an image plane position by linearly moving the focusing lens group in an optical axis direction thereof via a manual operation of a focusing operational member includes a click-stop mechanism which holds the focusing operational member at one of a plurality of click-stop positions with respect to a support member. An amount of movement of the image plane position in the optical axis direction per one click-stop position of the focusing operational member via the click-stop mechanism is determined to be within a range of the depth of focus of the lens system of the imaging apparatus. An imaging apparatus having such a manual focusing mechanism is also disclosed.

A high-power amplifier changes matching conditions of an output matching circuitconnected between a final stage amplifying elementand an output terminalin response to the output power of the amplifying element. Thus, the efficiency at low output power can be greatly improved without reducing the efficiency at the maximum output. Besides, since it is not necessary to load a DC-DC converter, an increase in size or cost can be prevented.

High-power amplifier

An electronic device such as a portable television receiver includes a main body having a display and a frame portion provided around the display. In addition, the portable television receiver further includes a frame panel detachable to the frame portion, and on the frame portion, there is provided a frame detecting unit for detecting a type of the frame panel attached to the frame portion, so that a display position of a screen image relating to the operation on the display, or a screen image for a function of display is changed in accordance with the detected result of the frame detecting unit.
