  • Patent number: 9726070
    Abstract: An air-leading type, stratified scavenging two-stroke engine. The engine including a cylinder member and a crankcase joined therewith has an intake passage, an exhaust passage, first and second scavenging passages, a communicating portion and an air passage. The intake passage, the exhaust passage and the air passage are formed in the cylinder member. The first and the second scavenging passages each has a cylinder member-side passage and a crankcase-side passage. The cylinder member-side passages of both of the first and the second scavenging passages communicate with each other via the communicating portion. The air passage is connected to the cylinder member-side passage of the first scavenging passage. In the engine, air for pre-scavenging is introduced from the air passage through a check valve into the cylinder member-side passage of the first scavenging passage, and a part of the introduced air flows into the second scavenging passage through the communicating portion.

  • Patent number: 6346893
    Abstract: There is provided an in-vehicle mount type navigation device in which a user can freely set a desired destination or via-places through which a route extending to the destination passes. A memory is provided with a destination/via-place table for storing data representing the destination and the via-places through which the route extending to the destination passes. A destination/registration place setting unit in a microprocessor stores data representing a place to be added in association with any specified one of a position between a via-place and another via-place or destination, and a position next to the destination into the destination/via-place table. On the basis of the data stored in the destination/via-place table, the guide route calculator of the microprocessor calculates a guide route which successively passes through the via-places and extends to the destination.
