Abstract: A radar reflector includes: a board formed in a shape corresponding to an area of a body; and a reflecting layer provided on the board and configured to reflect a radar wave in an irradiation direction of the radar wave.

Abstract: To be able to compactly dispose an airbag device for a saddle-type vehicle provided with an airbag deployable upward. An airbag device for a saddle-type vehicle includes: an inflator; an airbag adapted to be expanded by gas discharged from the inflator; and a retainer accommodating the airbag. The airbag is deployed upward from an opening of the retainer. The retainer is disposed in front of a head pipe adapted to support a handle for steering. A wind screen is disposed above the retainer. The wind screen openably and closably covers the opening of the retainer.

Abstract: In order to solve a conventional problem that it is not possible to clearly indicate a scene switching point as appropriate, a video image processing apparatus includes: a change information acquiring unit that acquires inter-frame change information, which is information indicating a change between two or more frames, among two or more frames constituting a video image; a point determining unit that, in a case where the inter-frame change information is information indicating a change that is large enough to satisfy a predetermined condition, determines a first point corresponding to the inter-frame change information; and a point output unit that outputs a point in the video image that is the first point determined by the point determining unit, in a visually recognizable manner. Accordingly, it is possible to clearly indicate a scene switching point as appropriate.

Abstract: An airbag system is configured to fulfill its role on a saddle-ride type vehicle even when the vehicle collides with a side of a vehicle moving in a generally perpendicular direction. An embodiment of the airbag system includes an airbag which is configured to the inflated and fully upward from the vehicle front of a rider. The airbag includes a head part opposite to a rider's head during inflation and deployment, and a neck part which rises upward from the vehicle and toward the head part. The neck part has a width in a direction of vehicle width which is narrower than that of the head part. The neck part includes neckings curved inward in the direction of the vehicle width.

Abstract: A body structure of a straddle-ride vehicle includes a body frame, a handlebar, a front fork, a front wheel guide member, and an opposite cover. The handlebar is turnably provided on the body frame. The fork extends from the handlebar and rotatably supports a front wheel. The front wheel guide member is disposed at a front portion of the body frame in a traveling direction of the vehicle and faces the front wheel. The front wheel guide member includes a slant portion extending from one side to another side in a vehicle-width direction and from a front to a rear in the traveling direction. The opposite cover is supported by the front fork to cover a rear portion of the front wheel and faces the front wheel guide member.

Abstract: A saddle-type vehicle is provided with an impact member for deflecting a front wheel sideways in the event of a collision. The saddle-type vehicle includes a body frame having a head pipe for rotatably supporting a steering shaft for the front wheel, main frames extending rearwards from the head pipe, and an engine operatively mounted to the main frames. The impact member is disposed in front of a lower portion of the engine. The impact member includes a support part, which extends forwardly from the engine, and a load-receiving deflector plate mounted to the support part and which is inclined away from a vehicle width direction.

Abstract: A motorcycle includes a head pipe, left and right main frames extending rearwardly from the head pipe on left and right sides, respectively, and a cowl stay extending forwardly from the left and right main frames and supporting a cowling, which protectively covers a front portion of the motorcycle. The cowl stay is positioned such that its front end portion is located rearwardly of a front end portion of a front wheel, and in front of a tip portion of a head light disposed on a front portion of the head pipe so as to illuminate an area in front of the motorcycle. The cowl stay is disposed at a position located above a center of gravity of the motorcycle.

Abstract: A motorcycle includes main frames extending from a head pipe to rear left and right sides, a fuel tank provided between the main frames, seat frames extending rearwardly from the main frames; a seat supported by the seat frames; and an air bag module disposed at a position proximate to a front upper portion of the seat. The air bag module may be disposed in a recess formed on a rear upper portion of the fuel tank, and is mounted on stay members extending respectively upwardly from the left and right main frames.
