An autonomous driving vehicle that is a mobile unit according to this disclosure is a mobile unit configured to transport a user to a facility that provides services or commercial products and, at the same time, configured to perform an advertising activity for the services or the commercial products of the facility. The mobile unit includes a control unit configured to acquire data for providing a promotion in the mobile unit and is configured to provide a promotion in the mobile unit based on the acquired data. The promotion is related to the services and the commercial products at the facility.

Mobile unit, information processing method, and program

A piston includes: a piston head; and a piston skirt connected to the piston head, wherein the piston skirt includes wall portions protruding outward from a surface of the piston skirt, the wall portions adjacent to each other in a circumferential direction of the piston skirt are inclined in directions opposite to each other with respect to a direction of movement of the piston in a bore for the piston, and define a tapered portion, and the tapered portions are spaced away from each other in the circumferential direction of the piston skirt.

Piston

An intake-port core includes a body part having the same outer shape as that of the intake port, a port-injector part having the same outer shape as that of a port-injector insertion part, and an extending part. A cooling-water flow-passage core includes a water-jacket core having the same outer shape as that of a water jacket. The intake-port core is inserted from the extending part thereof into the water-jacket core so as to join the cooling-water flow-passage core to the intake-port core. Thereafter, a core print part that is a separate body from the intake-port core is joined to the intake-port core.

Assembling method of cores

Provided is a control apparatus of the internal combustion engine capable of removing deposited foreign matters accumulated on an EGR valve without deteriorating a combustion state of the internal combustion engine. When the vehicle is under deceleration and under fuel cut operation, the ECU opens an EGR shutoff valve and obtains an intake pressure 'Pclose' under the EGR valve in the fully closed state. Then, the ECU opens the EGR valve and obtains an intake pressure 'Popen' under the EGR valve in the fully opened state. Then, the ECU calculates a difference &#x394;P between &#x201c;Popen&#x201d; and &#x201c;Pclose&#x201d;, and closes the EGR shutoff valve on the condition that the difference &#x394;P is equal to or smaller than a threshold value &#x201c;Pth1&#x201d;. Then, the ECU opens the EGR valve, and subsequently opens the EGR valve.
