Adhesives for ceramics obtained as first adhesives for ceramics according to the invention are excellent in bond properties as well as in water resistance because they contain first acidic compounds such as organic carboxylic acids in addition to silane coupling agents, polymerizable monomers and polymerization catalysts. Further, adhesives for ceramics obtained as second adhesives for ceramics according to the invention are excellent in bond properties as well as in dependability and water resistance because they contain metal salts in addition to silane coupling agents, polymerizable monomers and polymerization catalysts. Furthermore, adhesives for ceramics obtained as third adhesives for ceramics according to the invention are excellent in bond properties as well as dependability and water resistance because they contain second acidic compounds selected from among metal salts and organic carboxylic acid anhydrides in addition to silane coupling agents, polymerizable monomers and polymerization catalysts.

A basic injection quantity is determined by engine speed and pressure in an intake passage of an engine. The pressure is estimated from engine speed and throttle position. A transient state such as acceleration of the engine is detected. When the transient state is detected, the estimated pressure is selected, and the basic injection quantity is determined based on the estimated pressure.

Fuel injection control system for an automotive engine

A basic injection quantity is determined by engine speed and intake passage pressure. The pressure is estimated from engine speed and throttle position, and changing rate of the estimated pressure is calculated. A correcting quantity is obtained from the changing rate of the estimated pressure. The basic injection quantity is corrected with the correcting quantity.

Average pressure of pressure in an intake passage is calculated. A basic injection quantity is determined by engine speed and the average pressure. On the other hand, estimated pressure is estimated from engine speed and throttle position. A correcting coefficient is obtained from the average pressure and the estimated pressure, and the basic injection quantity is corrected with the correcting coefficient.

A system has a table storing initial timings, a rough correcting section for correcting an initial ignition timing derived from the table with a rough correcting quantity, thereby producing a basic ignition timing, and a fine correcting section for correcting the basic ignition timing with a fine correcting quantity to produce a real ignition timing when the rough correcting quantity becomes a predetermined value. The rough correcting operation is stopped when a predetermined time elapsed during the rough correcting operation, and the fine correcting operation is started.

An intake air control valve controls the amount of intake air of an engine. When a torque converter of an automatic transmission is locked for establishing the lock-up state, the control valve is closed to reduce the amount of air, so that engine speed is reduced without increasing the engine torque.
