Publication number: 20060164941Abstract: The present invention relates to a recording medium player which reads title set data and control information from a DVD and plays images and sounds. A multi-disc changer as a recording medium player includes a title selector (30) and a player section (200). If the control information read from a DVD contains a command to display a menu before playing images or sounds of a title piece which constitutes a main content, the title selector selects a title piece, which is selectable from the menu and has a playback time not shorter than a predetermined time, as a main title piece. The player section reads the title set data corresponding to the main title piece from the DVD and plays images and sounds.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 22, 2004Publication date: July 27, 2006Inventors: Hiroyuki Fukuma, Fumiaki Kawamura

Patent number: 6196182Abstract: A section of an engine mount bracket and a section of an engine accessory pass through a timing belt cover from the inside to the outside of the engine. The timing belt cover has an engine accessory opening and an engine mount bracket opening. During engine assembly, the engine accessory opening and engine mount bracket opening are aligned with the engine mount bracket and engine accessory, providing accurate alignment of the timing belt cover onto the engine. The alignment process prevents damage of the timing belt cover bolts as well as the threaded timing belt cover bolt insertion openings, resulting in an efficient process for engine assembly.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 1999Date of Patent: March 6, 2001Assignee: Suzuki Motor CorporationInventor: Fumiaki Kawamura
