In a direct current cutoff switch1, a PTC 5, which is a non-linear resistor, is parallel connected to a contact circuit composed of a fixed contact 4-2 and a movable contact 8-2 via electrodes 5-1. When the switch is closed, no current flows in the PTC 5 with a prescribed resistance value at 25° C., since voltage between both the electrodes 5-1 is almost “0”. When the switch is opened in order to cut off current, the contacts form a closed circuit since the PTC 5 is parallel inserted between the fixed contact 4-2 and the movable contact 8-2. For this reason, it is difficult for surge voltage to occur and an arc hardly occurs between both the contacts. The PTC 5 instantaneously heats due to passing current, reduces the resistance value and passes peak current. Then, the resistance value rises and becomes stable in a high value such that weak current which is negligible at 42V, which is rated voltage. Thus, current is substantially cut off.

A complex flow-path heat exchanger having U-shaped tube and cantilever combined coil, which can achieve, in this type heat exchanger, a simple construction, a complex flow of steam within the same one heat exchange shell body, a high heat exchange efficiency, and a low energy loss. The technical gift of the present invention is that, after entering into the heat exchanger, steam firstly effects heat exchange on the U-shaped tube flow path shell side to be cooled and condensed, thereafter entering into flow path tube side of the cantilever combined coil, which are disposed within the same one shell, for a secondary heat exchange, and subsequently flowing out of the heat exchanger after being subcooled. Such steam-water heat exchanger having a complex flow path are advantageous in a small steam flow resistance of the U-shaped tube flow path shell side; a higher condensate water flow velocity in the cantilever combined coils flow path tube; a high heat exchange coefficient; good coordination of the temperature difference fields of the hot and cold fluids in the heat exchanger; and a high heat exchange efficiency. Therefore, the present heat exchanger can be a new generation product relative to the currently-used conventional low-temperature, low-pressure and corrosion-free heat exchangers.

In control apparatus and method of an internal combustion engine, an engine speed change-to-throttle opening change ratio rdlnetha, that is, a ratio of the amount of change in the engine rotation speed dine to the amount of change in the extent of opening of a throttle valve being under the feedback control, is determined. It is determined whether the engine speed change-to-throttle opening change ratio rdlnetha is within a predetermined range. If the determination is negative, a flag xnedown indicating an imperfect combustion state is turned on. Then, the intake air flow feedback control is stopped, and the control is switched to an ignition timing feedback control or an fuel injection amount feedback control. Therefore, the occurrence of the imperfect combustion state during the feedback control of the engine idle speed can be precisely detected.

To prevent the continuation of the abnormal state occurring immediately after the lighting start of the electrodeless discharge lamp excited by a DC driven magnetron and to recover promptly from the abnormal state at the steady state period. Lighting start of an electrodeless discharge lamp is performed in soft start mode. Increasing the power supply to the magnetron gradually, the lamp is turned into a lighting state for longer time than the time for the luminescence medium to evaporate fully absorbing microwave. At that period, the output of DC power supply is periodically cut off momentarily, resetting the abnormal state. Then, stable DC power is supplied. At the steady state period, the anode current of the magnetron is controlled to be constant. When rise of the operation voltage of the magnetron is detected, the output of DC power supply is cut off momentary to recover to the steady state.

An unstable idling state immediately after engine start is stabilized. The difference between a target idling engine speed corresponding to the cooling water temperature and an actual engine speed is integrated. The ignition timing is changed toward advance or retard while using a value obtained by multiplying the integration value of the engine speed difference with a gain, as an ignition timing changing amount. Immediately after engine start, the gain is made relatively large to rapidly increase engine speed. When the engine speed approaches the target engine speed, the gain is set to a smaller usual gain, and, in a change to the same advancing or retarding side, a change to an ignition timing in the same side is suppressed using a smaller advancing or retarding gain. In a throttle-off state, an ignition timing corresponding to the cooling water temperature is set to rapidly reduce engine speed.

In the case that the electrical resistance of the contact transfer body 15 varies with the variation of the operating environment, the variation of the value of the electrical resistance is detected by the transfer body resistance detecting section and the applying time of the transfer cleaning bias is appropriately varied by the cleaning bias control section 23 based on the detected result. When the operating environment varies to a high temperature condition or to a high humidity condition, the applying time of the transfer cleaning bias is shortened by the cleaning bias control section 23, and the continuation of the conventional overdischarged condition is avoided. Therefore, even when the value of the electrical resistance of the contact transfer body 15 varies according to the variation of the operating environment, the image can be formed with a high degree of quality and the shortening of the service life of the image carrier can be prevented.
