Patent number: 7492459Abstract: An optical droplet sensor can include a light emitter, a light receiver and a light guide, and can be adhered onto an inner surface of a windshield via a light transmissive adhesive layer. The light guide can include a light entry surface and a light exit surface formed of respective convex-shaped arbitrary curved surfaces, a light entry/exit surface formed of a flat plane, and a reflecting surface that can be made of a metal film. The light emitted from the light emitter is given an optimized light distribution at the light entry surface and introduced into the light guide. The light is then reflected from the metal film-applied reflecting surface toward an outer surface of the windshield. The light totally reflected at the outer surface returns to the light exit surface and is given an optimized light distribution at the light exit surface. The light is then externally transmitted/released from the light guide and collected on a light-receiving surface of the light receiver.Type: GrantFiled: March 16, 2006Date of Patent: February 17, 2009Assignee: Stanley Electric Co., Ltd.Inventors: Hiroshi Takata, Kiyomitsu Ishikawa, Yorimi Yokoyama

Patent number: 7348586Abstract: An exterior element sensor can include an optical element mounted on a window. The optical element can include a cylindrical lens having both ends shaped spherically and a central portion that exerts little or no influence on exterior element detection (such as rain, snow, ice, water, liquid, debris, or other materials) when visible light transmits therethrough. In addition, infrared or other light can be used to detect exterior elements located on the window. A black filter can be employed, if desired, which blocks visible light and transmits infrared light therethrough to separate visible light from infrared light, thereby allowing the exterior element sensor to be used together with an exterior light sensor without losing accuracy.Type: GrantFiled: July 5, 2005Date of Patent: March 25, 2008Assignee: Stanley Electric Co. Ltd.Inventors: Kiyomitsu Ishikawa, Hiroshi Takata

Patent number: 6422332Abstract: An intake apparatus is provided for an engine of a vehicle. The intake apparatus can introduce fresh air under the vehicle's large running wind pressure. The intake apparatus also allows the opening area and profile of an air inlet to be selected freely. The intake apparatus includes a pair of intake ducts 13 for introducing the air into the engine and an air-introducing duct 15 connected to respective upstream ends of the intake ducts 13 to provide the air inlet 14. The air-introducing duct 15 is formed independently of a cowling 16 fitted to a front of the vehicle. The air-introducing duct 15 has its leading end 15a positioned ahead of a leading end 16a of the cowling 16.Type: GrantFiled: January 27, 2000Date of Patent: July 23, 2002Assignee: Kawasaki Jukogyo Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Hiroshi Takata, Hisayoshi Shibata, Shoji Idei

Patent number: 5069141Abstract: A freight system comprising a conveyor adapted to be driven along a monorail track. A frictional drive wheel of the conveyor engages the upper side of the track and various embodiments of reactive force creating means are positioned to engage the underside of the track to create improved frictional forces during ascendancy. All of these embodiments employ the weight of the unit to create the reactional force and in all embodiments there are positioned a pair of spaced apart guide rollers that engage the underside of the track. In some embodiments, these guides rollers are resiliently biased by either separate springs or by making the guide rollers themselves resilient. In some embodiments there is provided an intermediate fixed guide roller to limit the degree of relative movement between the conveyor and the track. In one embodiment, the guide rollers are suspended by a Y shaped lever that itself carries the load transmitted by the conveyor.Type: GrantFiled: August 9, 1989Date of Patent: December 3, 1991Assignee: Yamaha Hatsudoki Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Osamu Ohara, Hiroshi Takata, Hiroshi Kawashima

Patent number: 5020440Abstract: A conveying apparatus for conveying work pieces along a path defined by a track that can have ascending and descending sections. An elevator mechanism is pivotally supported relative to a drive mechanism that cooperates with the track for moving work pieces from one place to another. The pivotal support of the elevator mechanism permits the articles being transported to be maintained in a horizontal position regardless of whether or not the device is ascending or descending. In addition, a shock absorbing mechanism acts upon the pivotal connection so as to avoid swinging movement caused by starting and stopping.Type: GrantFiled: January 25, 1990Date of Patent: June 4, 1991Assignee: Yamaha Hatsudoki Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Osamu Ohara, Hiroshi Kawashima, Hiroshi Takata
