Patent number: 8316815Abstract: An internal combustion engine includes an oil storage structure defining an oil storage chamber provided for storing oil therein. The engine is configured such that a crankcase cover, covering a clutch mechanism, is joined to a crankcase for forming an oil storage chamber. The oil storage structure is applied to an engine having a vertically split crankcase, and is configured to prevent the clutch mechanism from dipping into stored oil so that clutch disengagement performance is not affected, and reliability of the liquid-tight sealing performance is extended. The crankcase cover is formed with a partition wall extending along the outer circumference of the clutch mechanism. The partition wall splits a space between the crankcase and the crankcase cover into two chambers. Of these chambers, a chamber separate from a clutch mechanism is used as the oil storage chamber, which is formed only by a lower crankcase and the crankcase cover.Type: GrantFiled: March 11, 2010Date of Patent: November 27, 2012Assignee: Honda Motor Co., Ltd.Inventors: Masaaki Negoro, Hiroshi Tadokoro, Takanori Osuka

Patent number: 6304532Abstract: A disk reproducing apparatus is provided which can cope with the intermittent access due to track jump in the conventional CD reproducing system and which can reproduce data at N times the normal speed and produce the reproduced data at the normal speed. The disk reproducing apparatus includes a memory for storing the data and time information reproduced from the disk to match with each other, another external memory, a detection circuit detecting the time difference between the finally produced output data and the data which is being accessed, and a control circuit detecting the overflow/underflow of the external memory and controlling it to be written. The construction can absorb the time difference between the system operation speed and data output speed even during an intermittent access so that continuous data can be produced.Type: GrantFiled: December 27, 2000Date of Patent: October 16, 2001Assignee: Hitachi, Ltd.Inventors: Izumi Kimura, Munehiro Nishioka, Toshifumi Takeuchi, Hiroshi Tadokoro

Patent number: 5442612Abstract: A digital signal reproduction device including a data strobe circuit high in margin against noise and rapid in recovery from dropout of data and a digital signal reproduction method performed in such device. The digital signal reproduction device includes a pair of data strobe circuits and a switching circuit for selecting one of the outputs of the pair of data strobe circuits, and a circuit for generating from the received signal a signal to control the switching circuit. The data strobe circuits ensure high reliability of the received signal against noise and a short time from dropout of the received signal to acquisition of a reproduction clock. The data strobe circuit is selectable which is suitable for the reproduction state of the reproduced signal.Type: GrantFiled: November 2, 1993Date of Patent: August 15, 1995Assignee: Hitachi, Ltd.Inventors: Toshifumi Takeuchi, Shinichi Obata, Izumi Kimura, Osamu Kawamae, Hiroshi Tadokoro, Yutaka Nagai
