A marine propulsion device includes an engine, a propeller, a drive shaft, an exhaust path, a water intrusion detecting portion and a recording portion. The drive shaft is configured to transmit driving force from the engine to the propeller. The exhaust path allows exhaust air from the engine to pass therethrough. The water intrusion detecting portion is configured to detect a water intrusion potential indicating a possibility of water intrusion into the engine through the exhaust path. The recording portion is configured to record a detection result of the water intrusion detecting portion.

The dripping of washing liquid and the infiltration of washing liquid from a nozzle surface of a head when the nozzle surface is wiped is suppressed and discharge stability is improved. A wiping unit includes a conveying portion that conveys a wiping web, a washing liquid supplying portion that supplies washing liquid to the wiping web, and a washing liquid collecting portion that collects washing liquid from the wiping web to which washing liquid has been supplied. After washing liquid is supplied to the wiping web, which is conveyed by the conveying portion, at washing liquid supplying portion, surplus washing liquid is collected from the wiping web at the washing liquid collecting portion. The wiping web from which washing liquid has been collected is wound on a pressure roller and comes into press contact with the nozzle surface of the head, thereby wiping web wipes and cleans the nozzle surface.

A burner is provided that has high flame stability and reduces NOx emissions. In the burner, air holes of an air hole member have a central axis inclined relative to a burner central axis. The leading end portion of a first fuel nozzle is configured to be able to suppress turbulence of air-flow flowing on the outer circumference side of the first fuel nozzle. The tip of the first fuel nozzle is located on a fuel jetting-out directional downstream side of the inlet of the fuel hole. The tip of the second fuel nozzle is located on a fuel jetting-out directional downstream side of the air hole inlet.

A droplet ejection apparatus includes: a droplet ejection head having a nozzle surface in which a nozzle aperture is formed; and a wiping device which wipes the nozzle surface of the droplet ejection head by moving relatively to the droplet ejection head. The wiping device includes: a wiping device main body which moves relatively to the droplet ejection head; a drive source which is arranged on the wiping device main body; and wiping units configured to be interchangeably installed on the wiping device main body. The wiping units respectively have wiping members configured to be pressed against the nozzle surface to perform respectively different wiping operations to the nozzle surface. When each of the wiping units is installed on the wiping device main body, a corresponding one of the wiping members receives drive force from the drive source to perform a corresponding one of the wiping operations to the nozzle surface.

A fuel gallery has a first opening port communicated to a variable volume chamber formed at a lower side of a plunger and a second opening port communicated to a fuel pressurizing chamber formed at an upper side of the plunger. A connecting tube member is provided in the fuel gallery for communicating the first and second opening ports with each other. During a fuel amount adjusting stroke, for example, in which the plunger is moved in an upward direction, a part of excessive fuel from the fuel pressurizing chamber is supplied to the variable volume chamber through the connecting tube member and the remaining part of the excessive fuel is discharged from the connecting tube member into the fuel gallery through a communication through-hole formed in the connecting tube member.

A battery that can secure the sufficient capacity, reduces deviation of the pressure distribution inside a spirally wound electrode body, and shows the superior charge and discharge characteristics is provided. The battery includes: a spirally wound electrode body in which a cathode having a cathode active material layer on a strip-shaped cathode current collector and an anode having an anode active material layer on a strip-shaped anode current collector are layered with a separator in between, and spirally wound in a planular state; and a lead jointed to the cathode current collector or the anode current collector in a center portion of the spirally wound electrode body. An inner circumferential end of the cathode active material layer is provided in a region where the inner circumferential end does not overlap with the lead in a short axis direction of the spirally wound electrode body.

A liquid droplet jetting apparatus includes a jetting unit equipped with plural head modules, a supply channel equipped with plural branching channels, first circulation limiting units, liquid storage units and external force applying units. The first circulating limiting units allow circulation of a liquid in a direction from a storage chamber to each of the head modules and limit circulation of the liquid in an opposite direction of the circulating direction. The liquid storage units are disposed between the circulation limiting units and the head modules. The liquid storage units store the liquid, and the volumes of the liquid storage units change due to external force. The external force applying units apply the external force to the liquid storage units such that the volumes of the liquid storage units become smaller and cause liquid droplets to be jetted from the nozzles.
摘要:
Gas of a predetermined pressure, which is equal to or higher than the atmospheric pressure, is filled in a damper chamber of a damper member that includes first and second-side diaphragms. A first-side limiting portion of a first-side cover member and a second-side limiting portion of a second-side cover member are engageable with a first-side concave portion of the first-side diaphragm and a second-side concave portion of the second-side diaphragm, respectively, to limit bulging of the damper member when a pressure of a fluid chamber is equal to or less than the predetermined pressure.
