Patent number: 7537362Abstract: A vehicular lighting system that enhances motorcycle visibility is provided. Vehicle front headlights, arranged so as to be laterally symmetrical, are formed in a shape of eyes capable of evoking a face. A headlight includes a circular main light forming a pupil portion, an annular ring forming an iris portion, plates each forming a sclera portion (white of eye), an upper frame forming the contour of an upper eyelid portion, and a lower frame forming the contour of a lower eyelid portion. When the main light and the plates are made to emit light, and the ring is non-light emitting, the pupil portion and the sclera portion are clearly discriminated from each other, thus enabling recognition as “eyes” not only in the daytime but also in the nighttime. The light emitting portions may be set as the main light, the upper frame and the lower frame, and the like.Type: GrantFiled: April 17, 2006Date of Patent: May 26, 2009Assignee: Honda Motor Co., Ltd.Inventors: Kazumitsu Kushida, Yoshiyuki Matsumoto, Yutaka Murata

Publication number: 20090049325Abstract: It is aimed at providing a data processor capable of suppressing a sudden current change from the viewpoint of a synchronization clock. A data processor 1 comprises a clock pulse generation circuit and a circuit module operating on input clock signal CLKi output from the clock pulse generation circuit. In case of restoration from a power-on reset period or a standby state, the clock pulse generation circuit stepwise changes frequencies of the clock signal from low to high frequencies. This makes it possible to prevent a power supply current from suddenly increasing in case of restoration from the power-on reset period or the standby state.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 8, 2008Publication date: February 19, 2009Inventors: TAKANOBU NARUSE, Hirokatsu Noguchi, Kazuhide Kawade, Yoshiyuki Matsumoto

Publication number: 20080247184Abstract: A conventional keyless entry system uses a radio wave as an unlocking or locking signal and is therefore substantially non-directional. For example, when an unlocking operation is performed, keys of all doors are unlocked, so that for example in a vehicle having a certain slide door or a kick-up door, an occupant of the vehicle may forget to lock the door. According to the presently disclosed subject matter a keyless entry system for locking and unlocking lock(s) of a vehicle can include an infrared light projector having a narrow radiation angle, and a light receiving/emitting unit corresponding to operating conditions of keys/locks. The light receiving/emitting unit can include a combination of a light receiving element for receiving the infrared light and a light emitting element for indicating the position of a key/lock which is operated correspondingly to the infrared light received by the light receiving element.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 26, 2008Publication date: October 9, 2008Inventors: Yoshiyuki Matsumoto, Hiroshi Uematsu, Takuya Kushimoto, Yutaka Ishiyama
