Patent number: 11919570Abstract: To simultaneously avoid contact with a front subframe and secure a connection space for a harness, a front subframe has a right and left pair of side frame sections, each of which is located in front of and below a dashboard. A converter and a vehicle component are provided behind a rear end portion of one of the side frame sections. The converter is arranged along a lower surface of a floor panel, and the vehicle component is arranged adjacent to rear of the converter. The converter is arranged in a vertically inclined state, a front-end portion of the converter is located higher than the rear end portion of the side frame section, and a rear end portion of the converter is located lower than the vehicle component.Type: GrantFiled: February 7, 2022Date of Patent: March 5, 2024Assignee: MAZDA MOTOR CORPORATIONInventors: Masanao Sato, Katsutoshi Noguchi, Tomokazu Murakami, Yudai Kawaguchi

Patent number: 8773838Abstract: An ion generating device generates O2?(H2O)n (where n is a natural number) as negative ions and H+(H2O)m (where m is a natural number) as positive ions, and discharges those ions into the air so that airborne germs are killed through an oxidation reaction by hydrogen peroxide H2O2 or radical hydroxyl OH generated through as an active species a chemical reaction between the negative and positive ions. Satisfactory sterilization is achieved when the negative and positive ions are generated in such a way that the concentrations of the negative and positive ions are both 10,000 ion/cc at a distance of 10 cm from the point at which they are generated.Type: GrantFiled: August 21, 2012Date of Patent: July 8, 2014Assignee: Sharp Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Yasukata Takeda, Yoshinori Sekoguchi, Takeshi Furukawa, Mamoru Morikawa, Toshiaki Takano, Katsutoshi Noguchi, Hideo Nojima, Kazuo Nishikawa, Akio Miyata

Patent number: 7040101Abstract: An air conditioning apparatus incorporates an ion generating device that generates positive and negative ions by applying an alternating-current voltage between electrodes. The generated positive and negative ions coexist in the air and, when they attach to the surfaces of airborne bacteria, they react chemically with each other and generate radical hydroxyl and hydrogen peroxide, which extract hydrogen atoms from the cells of the bacteria and thereby kill them. This sterilizing effect is combined with the temperature-conditioning, dehumidifying, humidifying, air-purifying, and other functions of the air conditioning apparatus to bring about a comfortable and healthful indoor environment.Type: GrantFiled: August 27, 2001Date of Patent: May 9, 2006Assignee: Sharp Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Yasukata Takeda, Takashi Kohama, Yoshinori Sekoguchi, Toshiaki Takano, Kazuo Nishikawa, Hideo Nojima, Katsutoshi Noguchi, Fumiaki Shimizu, Hiroyasu Yamashita, Mamoru Morikawa

Patent number: 7004048Abstract: A steering handle includes a hub mounted to a steering shaft and a pair of grips mounted to the left and right of the hub. The left and right grips are gripped by a driver for steering. The left and right grips are radially slidable with respect to the hub. This allows the wheel diameter to be changed for application to various types of vehicles.Type: GrantFiled: October 10, 2002Date of Patent: February 28, 2006Assignee: Honda Giken Kogyo Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Masahide Kobayashi, Tatsuki Miyashita, Katsutoshi Noguchi, Ichiro Tobisawa
