Abstract: A bicycle shift control device comprises a fixed member and a rotatable member. The fixed member is adapted to be fixedly coupled to a bicycle handlebar adjacent a hand gripping area of the handlebar. The rotatable member is rotatably coupled to the fixed member for rotation around the handlebar between at least two shift positions. One of the fixed and rotatable members has a visible fixed contoured line and the other of the fixed and rotatable members has a visible movable contoured line adjacent the visible fixed contoured line. The visible fixed and movable contoured lines cooperate with each other to define a geometrically shaped visible area located between them. The geometrically shaped visible area is configured to change upon rotation of the rotatable member between the shift positions to indicate at least one of the shift positions.

Abstract: A control apparatus is configured to achieve considerably delayed ignition timing and combustion stability, and to bring about an increase in exhaust gas temperature and a reduction in HC discharge when the engine is cold. Normal stratified combustion operation and homogeneous combustion operation are carried out when warming has been completed and the coolant temperature of the internal combustion engine has exceeded 80° C. In an injection operation at the top dead center, the injection start timing ITS occurs prior to compression top dead center (TDC) and the injection end timing ITE occurs after compression top dead center (TDC), whereby fuel injection is carried out so as to straddle the compression top dead center. The ignition timing ADV occurs after compression top dead center (TDC) and ignition occurs with a timing that is delayed from the injection start timing ITS.

Abstract: A sound generating mechanism of a dual bearing reel generates sound by the rotation of a spool, and includes a serrated member, an operation member, a sounding member, a first urging member, and a second urging member. The serrated member includes projections and rotates with the spool. The operation member can come into contact and be separated from the serrated member. The sounding member is pivotably movable in accordance with movement of the operation member between a sound generation position and a release position. The first urging member urges the sounding member toward the rotational center of the serrated member when the sounding member is in the sound generation position. While the sounding member is in the sound generation position, the second urging member applies a greater urging force to the sounding member when the spool rotates in the line-releasing direction than when the spool rotates in the line-winding direction.

Abstract: This invention is about the direct conversion receiver. It is excellent the receiving sensitivity that DC off-set, matching characteristics of the relationship of I/Q circuits and noise characteristics are improved. In order to achieve this purpose, the direct conversion receiver uses vertical bipolar junction transistor available in standard triple-well CMOS technology in the switching element of mixer and base-band analog circuits. Furthermore, as using the passive mixer in the other practical example of this invention, this invention controls the occurrence of l/f noise. As using the vertical bipolar junction transistor available in standard triple-well CMOS in the base-band analog circuits, this invention realizes the direct conversion receiver that DC off-set, matching characteristics of the relationship of I/Q circuit and noise characteristics are improved.

A reduced thickness portion is formed in an upper rear portion of the reel body, where the rod attachment leg connects the reel body. The reduced thickness portion has a peripheral rim poriton and a recessed portion that is further recessed from the peripheral rim portion. The cover member is mounted to cover the rear lower portion of the reel body in order to cover at least the peripheral rim portion of the reduced thickness portion.

Abstract: A bonding agent having an adhesive and a curing agent is formed on a bonding surface of a dial member. A transfer sheet is attached to a convex side of the dial members, and a release sheet is attached to its bonding agent side to form a dial label. When this dial label is attached to a dial base, the release sheet is peeled off and the dial label is attached to the dial base. The transfer sheet is peeled off together with the excess of the bonding agent, and then the bonding agent is cured by a curing agent. Since the bonding agent in the peripheral portions of the dial members is cured while bonding force is maintained, there is no adherence of fine particles of foreign matter, and a satisfactory appearance can be obtained.

Abstract: A reel unit for a spinning reel includes a reel body, a rod attachment leg that is formed integrally with the reel body, and a reinforcing member that is coupled to the reel body by being mounted opening. The rod attachment leg has an accommodation space that opens longitudinally along the length thereof, and the reinforcing member is mounted in this accommodation space. The reinforcing member is a metal member. A portion of the reinforcing member protrudes from the outer peripheral surfaces of the rod attachment leg. A through hole is formed in the lower portion of the reinforcing member, and a screw is inserted into the through hole to be screwed fast to the reel body. In this manner, the strength of a rod attachment leg on a reel unit of a spinning reel can be increased with an inexpensive structure.
