  • Patent number: 8353111
    Abstract: A handle control provided with: a supporting body, which is provided with a central through hole and is adapted to be fitted about a handlebar to be rigidly fixed to the handlebar; a twist grip, which has a tubular shape, is rotationally carried by the supporting body and is centrally perforated to be fitted about the handlebar so as to rotate with respect to the handlebar; and an angular position sensor, which is adapted to read the angular position of the twist grip; the angular position sensor has at least one rotor, which is supported by the twist grip to rotate along with the twist grip and is adapted to influence an electric field; and at least one reader, which is carried in a stationary position by the supporting body, is arranged close to the rotor, and is suitable for a contactless and remote reading of the orientation of the rotor.

  • Patent number: 6782872
    Abstract: A device for air/fuel manifolds adapted to generate turbulent flows in combustion chambers. The device comprises a plurality of runners each of which internally comprises a longitudinal baffle adapted to form two channels each having a respective flow of air/fuel mixture to the combustion chamber. Moreover, in one channel is housed a throttle having, in its fully closed position, an aureole which extends along the whole perimeter of the throttle. The longitudinal baffle has a port for communication between the two channels, whereas a jet of fuel generated by an injector is targeted on the port for communication between the two channels.

  • Publication number: 20030136368
    Abstract: An intake manifold for an internal combustion engine provided with exhaust gas recycling; the intake manifold comprises a tubular member having an inner chamber and has a plurality of intake ducts which extend parallel to and equally spaced from one another from the lateral surface of the tubular member in order to bring the inner chamber into communication with respective cylinders; a support body physically independent from the tubular member houses a recycling duct and is mechanically connected to the tubular member so as to be disposed in the space bounded at the bottom by the intake ducts and laterally by the tubular member.
