To reduce the driver’s workload on parking, Parking Assistance System is required to be easy to use in the usual parking slots. This paper shows the proposed system can detect target parking positions without complicated user operation by using road surface patterns around the parking spot memorized after the driver parks manually.

To realize a super-leanburn SI engine with a very-high compression ratio, it is required to design a new fuel which could have low ignitability at a low temperature for antiknocking, but high ignitability at a high temperature for stable combustion. Ethane shows a long ignition delay time at a low temperature close to that of methane, but a short ignition delay time at a high temperature close to that of gasoline. In the present study, the antiknocking effect of adding methane with the RON of 120, ethane with the RON of 108, or propane with the RON of 112 to a regular gasoline surrogate fuel with the RON of 90.8 has been investigated. Adding each gaseous fuel by less than 0.4 in heat fraction advances knocking limit in the descending order of SI timing advance of ethane, methane, and propane, and in the descending order of CA 50 advance of ethane, propane, and methane. Adding methane extends combustion duration slightly, but adding ethane or propane shortens it considerably. Shortening combustion duration has a negative effect on advancing knocking limit SI timing. The effect on advancing knocking limit CA 50 is dependent on not the RON's of the gaseous fuels, but the rates of OH removal by the gaseous fuels. The antiknocking effect of adding each gaseous fuel to a premium gasoline surrogate fuel with the RON of 100.2 has been also investigated. The effect on advancing knocking limit CA50 is not dependent on whether the liquid fuels have cool-flame reactions or not. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

To realize a super-leanburn SI engine with a very-high compression ratio, it is required to design a new fuel which could have low ignitability at a low temperature for antiknocking, but high ignitability at a high temperature for stable combustion. Ethane shows a long ignition delay time at a low temperature close to that of methane, but a short ignition delay time at a high temperature close to that of gasoline, as well as having a higher laminar burning velocity than those of methane and gasoline. In the present study, the antiknocking effect of adding methane with the RON of 120 or ethane with the RON of 108 to a regular gasoline surrogate fuel with the RON of 90.8 has been investigated. Adding methane or ethane by 35 % or 25 % in heat fraction, respectively, shows the same knock limit SI timing as that of a premium gasoline surrogate fuel with the RON of 100.2. In the relationship between the heat fraction of the gaseous fuel and the advance of knock limit CA50, the effect of adding ethane is 1.9 times larger than that of adding methane. The effect of adding the gaseous fuel is dependent not on the RON of the gaseous fuel, but on the OH consuming rate of the gaseous fuel. The effect of adding methane or ethane to the premium gasoline surrogate fuel has been also investigated. The effect of adding ethane is 1.7 times larger than that of adding methane. The effect of adding the gaseous fuel is not dependent on whether the liquid fuel has cool-flame reactions or not. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article explains the purpose of the revision of the Guidelines for Writers. The purpose of this article is twofold: first, to provide information that will help authors better understand the purpose of the revision and make the best use of the revised guidelines in writing papers. The second is mainly for reviewers to understand the awareness of the issues involved in the revision, and to help understand the key points of the review according to the types of JSiSE papers so that there will be no discrepancies in understanding among authors, reviewers, and the editorial board. The main point of this revision at the macro level is to clarify the relationship between the two types of JSiSE papers, general papers and practical papers, and especially to clarify the concept of treating both types of papers on an equal footing. This paper first summarizes the awareness of the issues that led to this revision and explains the basic philosophy of the revision. Then, the specific content and purpose of the revision will be explained. The review format has also been revised to reflect the revision of the Guidelines for Writers, which is explained to help authors write their papers and to help reviewers understand the intention of the revision of the review format.

The Livengood-Wu integral has been applied widely as the simplest but most practical model to predict knocking or end-gas autoignition. The scientific nature of this empirical model was investigated by one of the authors. The integral value of 1/τ can be considered accumulated heat, meaning that 1/τ can be a conservable and transportable quantity, and its local integral can predict local autoignition in a heterogeneous air-fuel mixture or a diesel spray. Also, a set of several equations was developed to reproduce the temperature-, pressure-, and equivalence ratio-dependences of ignition delay time for a gasoline surrogate fuel produced using a detailed reaction mechanism. In the present report, ignition delay time equations have been developed for normal hexadecane. The Livengood-Wu integral with the equations has been applied to predict HCCI produced using a detailed reaction mechanism. When a period after distinct cool-flame reaction to ignition in an in-cylinder ignition process is prolonged, ignition timing predicted using the Livengood-Wu integral is retarded away from that produced using the detailed reaction mechanism, because the latter half of the integral is done in a distinct negative temperature coefficient region. The ignition delay time equation can be modified to weaken the negative temperature coefficient region and decrease the retard of predicted timing. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Braiding techniques were often kept secret and detailed instruction about it was rarely described in the documents. Therefore, braiders needed to accumulate experience and cultivate own skill by learning through trial and error. The expert unconsciously used braiding technique learned from substantial experience. In this paper, specific behavior to the expert was investigated. And then, coaching comment of the expert was analyzed to figure out how they determine subjects skill and transfer their own implicit knowledge. It was found that the complicated movement of fingers is one of the specific behavior to the expert and they coach the subject by explaining the differences from their movement The difference between the expert and subject is identified by deriving from a feeling of strangeness against the subjects behavior.

In this study, we developed an analytical method for simultaneous determination of 14 quinolones and 4 tetracyclines in livestock and fishery products using LC-MS/MS. The analytes were extracted from food samples with citrate buffer （containing EDTA）-methanol-acetonitrile （3 : 1 : 1, v/v/v） in the presence of n-hexane, and the extract was purified with an Oasis PRiME HLB cartridge column. It was suggested that this analytical method can also extract analytes from solid samples containing fat by using n-hexane. In addition, using methanol-acetonitrile （3 : 7, v/v） containing 0.1 vol％ formic acid as an eluent from the cartridge column, the purification effect could be improved, while minimizing the impairment of the recovery rate. As a result of the validation using six types of food samples, trueness （accuracy） was 70.6％-113.8％, the RSD of repeatability was 9.0％ or less, and the RSD of within-laboratory reproducibility was 15.5％ or less. Using this approach, the standard values mentioned in the Japanese guideline were successfully met. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this study, two different quantification methods of β-lactoglobulin (β-LG) were compared. The ISO 13875-compliant HPLC method is the gold standard method for measuring β-LG concentration in yogurt. However, it requires expensive equipment and technical expertise. Therefore, it is difficult for manufacturers to conduct HPLC analysis in factories. We evaluated the caliber of enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) as a simple, alternative method of β-LG quantification. We found the measurement accuracy of ELISA for β-LG to be equivalent to that of HPLC. Hence, ELISA can be employed as an affordable method of β-LG as antiallergy ingredients for food with functional claim. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
