Bosch
A company that develops, manufactures, and sells automobile-related equipment and parts such as fuel injection systems and braking systems (brakes), as well as power tools. As a core company of the Bosch Group in Japan, it is part of the group with related companies such as hydraulic equipment and packaging machine manufacturers, and is also under the umbrella of the Bosch Group in Germany. In 1911, German automobile parts manufacturer Robert Bosch signed an agency contract for the sale and repair of its products in Japan, and the following year, in 1912, opened a repair factory in Yokohama. In 1939, with technical assistance from Robert Bosch and investments from Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Tokyo Automobile Industry Co., Ltd. (→Isuzu Motors), Diesel Machinery Co., Ltd. (renamed Zexel in 1990), a manufacturer of diesel engine accessories, was established. It developed along with the expansion of demand due to motorization after World War II. In 1955, the brake booster business was separated from Diesel Machinery to establish Jidosha Kiki Co., Ltd. In 1972, Robert Bosch Japan (renamed Bosch in 1985) was established as a wholly owned subsidiary of Robert Bosch. In 1999, Bosch, automotive equipment, Zexel (renamed Bosch Automotive Systems in 2000), and two other companies merged their passenger car brake businesses to establish Bosch Brake Systems. In 2002, Bosch Automotive Systems, Bosch Brake Systems, and Bosch Electronics (established in 1992 by Zexel and Bosch) merged with Bosch Automotive Systems as the surviving company. In 2005, Bosch and Bosch Automotive Systems merged with the latter as the surviving company, and the company changed its name to Bosch. In 2008, it became a wholly owned subsidiary of Robert Bosch.

Bosch, Carl

Born: August 27, 1874 in Cologne
Died: April 26, 1940. Heidelberg. German industrial chemist. He studied organic chemistry at the University of Leipzig, receiving his degree in 1898. In 1894 he studied industrial technology in Charlottenburg, where he gained experience in field work. He joined Badische Aniline und Soder Fabrik (later E.G. Farben, now BASF), becoming its president in 1919. In 1913 he succeeded in commercializing the Haber process, which produces ammonia by synthesizing hydrogen and nitrogen under high pressure using a catalyst (→ Haber-Bosch process). He also discovered the Bosch process, a method of producing hydrogen on a large scale by passing a mixture of water vapor and water gas through a metal catalyst under high pressure. In 1931 he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry along with F. Bergius for his research into high-pressure chemistry.

Died: August 9, 1516. 's-Hertogenbosch Dutch painter. His real name was Hieronymus van Aeken. Bosch is derived from Bosch the Virgin (the Dutch pronunciation of Bosch).

His early works include The Seven Deadly Sins (Prado Museum) and The Treatment of Fools (same museum), and from his middle period (c. 1485-c. 1505) he painted The Hay Cart (same museum), The Garden of Earthly Delights (same museum), and The Crowning of Thorns (National Gallery and Prado Museum, London).

Trujillo Molina on May 30, 1961, he returned to the country after 20 years of exile and began active politics as the leader of the Dominican Revolutionary Party. In December 1962, he was elected in the presidential election held for the first time in 38 years, and took office the following February 1963, but was ousted in a military coup on September 25 of the same year. In 1965, the reformist faction of the military launched a rebellion (Dominican Crisis) to restore Bosch to power, but it was thwarted by the intervention of the Organization of American States (OAS). The election that year was defeated. In 1973, he left the Dominican Revolutionary Party. He ran as the leader of the Dominican Liberation Party in the general elections of 1978, 1982, 1986, and 1990, but was defeated all of them.
