  • Patent number: 8256563
    Abstract: In an all terrain vehicle, an engine body of an engine unit is positioned along a center line that is perpendicular or substantially perpendicular to a transverse direction of the vehicle. A continuously variable transmission of the engine unit is disposed transversely lateral to the engine body. A center console includes an inner space. The center console is disposed in a transverse center portion of a cabin space. The center console connects a space positioned forward of a front panel and a space positioned under a seat. An intake duct is connected to an upper surface of the engine unit, and extends forward therefrom. The intake duct is at least partially disposed in the interior of the center console. An exhaust duct is connected to the engine unit, and extends rearward therefrom.

  • Publication number: 20110094816
    Abstract: An all terrain vehicle includes a pair of right and left front wheels, at least a pair of right and left rear wheels, a vehicle body frame, a pair of right and left first roof supports, a pair of right and left second roof supports, a pair of right and left roof members, a seat, a front panel, an engine unit, a pair of right and left head light units and a front carry bar. The vehicle body frame supports the pair of front wheels and the pair of rear wheels. The right and left first roof supports are provided at transversely lateral sides of the vehicle body frame. The right and left second roof supports are also provided at the transversely lateral sides of the vehicle body frame. The right/left roof member connects an upper portion of the right/left first roof support and an upper portion of the right/left second roof support. The right/left head light unit overlaps with a right/left hub of the right/left front wheel in a longitudinal direction of the vehicle.

  • Patent number: 5960308
    Abstract: A process for making a chip sized semiconductor device, in which a semiconductor chip is prepared so as to have electrodes on one of surfaces thereof and an electrically insulating passivation film formed on the one surface except for areas where the electrodes exist. An insulation sheet is prepared so as to have first and second surfaces and a metallic film coated on the first surface. The second surface of the insulation sheet is adhered on the one surface of the semiconductor chip. First via-holes are provided in the metallic film at positions corresponding to the electrodes. Second via-holes are provided in the insulation sheet at positions corresponding to the first via-holes so that the electrodes are exposed. The metallic film is electrically connected to the electrodes of the semiconductor chip through the first and second via-holes. A circuit pattern is formed from the metallic film so that the circuit pattern has external terminal connecting portions.
