Patent number: 9415664Abstract: A windshield control device is configured such that a position and/or an angle in a height direction of a windshield attached to a front part of a vehicle is optionally adjusted by an actuator. The windshield control device includes receiving means that receives a signal related to a head set having a microphone used by a rider, and control means that drives and controls the windshield. The control means upwardly moves the windshield according to the signal received by the receiving means. The signal is a tone signal input from the microphone or a manipulated signal of an active switch for operating the head set or the receiving means. The windshield is upwardly moved according to magnitude of the tone signal input from the microphone after the receiving means is operated.Type: GrantFiled: July 6, 2015Date of Patent: August 16, 2016Assignee: HONDA MOTOR CO., LTD.Inventors: Tomohiro Hoshi, Yojiro Tsutsumi, Takeshi Konno, Kenji Suzuki, Sadanao Ichimi, Masakuni Ando

Publication number: 20150274246Abstract: In a switch case of a handle switch of a vehicle, first to fourth operation elements are disposed on a case below an axial line of a handlebar of the vehicle. The first to third operation elements overlap with each other, when viewed in rear view, and are each disposed in such an accessible range as to be operable by a rider with a thumb in a state in which the rider puts a left hand on a handle grip attached to the handlebar. The fourth operation element is provided on the center side of the vehicle body in the direction along the axial line. Such vehicle handle switch allows improvement in the operability for a rider.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 24, 2015Publication date: October 1, 2015Inventors: Manabu ICHIKAWA, Kota NAKAHIRA, Tomohiro HOSHI, Hiroshi HAYASHI

Patent number: 8907614Abstract: A photovoltaic power generation system in which an electricity generated by solar cells and a remaining battery level can be checked at once, thus enabling the photovoltaic power generation system to be efficiently operated. The photovoltaic power generation system is provided to charge a battery of a vehicle and is equipped with solar cells for feeding an electromotive force to the battery. The photovoltaic power generation system includes LEDs to make the remaining battery level and the electricity generated by the solar cells visible. Without taking the trouble to prepare a measuring instrument or to push a button of an indicator, a user of the vehicle can immediately check the remaining battery level and the electricity generated by the solar cells by visually checking the display of the LEDs, thus enabling the photovoltaic power generation system to be efficiently operated.Type: GrantFiled: March 22, 2011Date of Patent: December 9, 2014Assignee: Honda Motor Co., Ltd.Inventors: Tomohiro Hoshi, Akira Oshita, Noriyuki Ishida

Patent number: 8580914Abstract: A process for producing an aliphatic polyester through ring-opening polymerization of a cyclic ester, wherein a partial polymer in a molten state is continuously introduced into a twin-screw stirring device to continuously obtain a partial polymer in a solid pulverized state, the partial polymer is subjected to solid-phase polymerization, and the resultant polymer is melt-kneaded together with a thermal stabilizer to be formed into pellets. As a result, an aliphatic polyester of a high molecular weight and with little discoloration is produced efficiently.Type: GrantFiled: January 29, 2007Date of Patent: November 12, 2013Assignee: Kureha CorporationInventors: Hiroyuki Sato, Yoshinori Suzuki, Tomohiro Hoshi, Fumio Maeda
