  • Patent number: 11953736
    Abstract: In a fiber connection structure with optical connectors according to one embodiment, among m first connector port groups, arrangement orders of colors of a plurality of the optical fibers in (2×j?1)th (j is a natural number satisfying 1?j and 2×j?m) first connector port groups are the same, and among the m first connector port groups, arrangement orders of the colors of the plurality of optical fibers in (2×j)th first connector port groups are the same. The arrangement order of the colors of the plurality of optical fibers in the (2×j)th first connector port group is a reverse order of the arrangement order of the colors of the plurality of optical fibers in the (2×j?1)th first connector port group.

  • Patent number: 11932345
    Abstract: A leaning vehicle includes a vehicle body, a left wheel, a right wheel, left and right bearings, left and right axle, left arm, right arm, and lean mechanism. The left arm supports the left wheel from inside in a vehicle width direction. The right arm supports the right wheel from inside in the vehicle width direction. The lean mechanism causes the left wheel and the right wheel to lean about a front-rear direction as a rotation center when the vehicle body leans about the front-rear direction as a rotation center. The single bearing is inserted into a hub hole of the left wheel. The single bearing is inserted into a hub hole of the right wheel.

  • Patent number: 11926388
    Abstract: A leaning vehicle includes a vehicle body, a left front wheel, a right front wheel, a lean mechanism, and a lean brake mechanism. The lean mechanism causes the left front wheel and the right front wheel to lean about a front-rear direction as a rotation center when the vehicle body leans about the front-rear direction as a rotation center. The lean brake mechanism brakes a leaning operation of the lean mechanism. The lean brake mechanism includes a brake caliper and a brake disc. The brake caliper is attached to the lean mechanism and has a brake pad. The brake disc is attached to the lower arm of the upper arm and the lower arm that is farther from the brake pad in the front view, has a contact portion that generates braking force by being pressed by the brake pad.

  • Patent number: 11919604
    Abstract: A leaning vehicle includes a vehicle body, a left front wheel, a right front wheel, a lean mechanism, and a lean brake mechanism. The lean mechanism causes the left front wheel and the right front wheel to lean about a front-rear direction as a rotation center when the vehicle body leans about the front-rear direction as a rotation center. The lean brake mechanism brakes a leaning operation of the lean mechanism. The lean brake mechanism includes a brake disc and brake pads. The brake disc is attached to an upper arm or a lower arm. The brake pads, which are attached such that their position relative to the brake disc changes in the leaning operation, produce a frictional force against the brake disc in the leaning operation.

  • Publication number: 20170241792
    Abstract: Route acquisition systems, methods, and programs receive input of a plurality of destination locations and acquire a visit history that indicates a history of visit locations visited previously together with an order of visit to the visit locations. The systems, methods, and programs refer to the visit history which includes the visit locations which match the plurality of destination locations, set an order of visit to the plurality of destination locations on a basis of the order of visit to the visit locations which is indicated in the visit history, and acquire a route for visit to the plurality of destination locations.
