Patent number: 8429561Abstract: Names of pieces of information to be searched are arranged in a predetermined order, and a range display bar that is divided into sections is formed on a screen. A detailed-name-of-information display section is formed adjacent to the range display bar to display detailed information associated with the names in a scrollable manner. An arbitrary range on the range display bar may be designated as a range of the names to be searched. Preferably, the names corresponding to the divided sections are searched with respect to the designated range for the names. Predetermined portions of the names obtained through the search are displayed on the divided sections. Preferably, the portions of the names include at least the initial letter of the names. The detailed information associated with the names in the designated range is displayed on the detailed-name-of-information display section in the arrangement order.Type: GrantFiled: January 21, 2009Date of Patent: April 23, 2013Assignee: Alpine Electronics, Inc.Inventor: Keiichi Harada

Patent number: 7637349Abstract: An exhaust system for a motorcycle provides enhanced steering stability and improved function for purifying exhaust gas. Front exhaust pipes connected with front cylinders of a V-type engine are joined to a front part of an exhaust chamber. Rear exhaust pipes connected with rear cylinders of the engine are joined to an upper part of the exhaust chamber. Exhaust gases discharged from both the front and rear exhaust pipes are unified within the exhaust chamber, and a catalyst is disposed in the vicinity of the unifying section. The length of the rear exhaust pipes is shorter than the length of the front exhaust pipes. High-temperature exhaust gas is introduced to the catalyst contained within the exhaust chamber via the rear exhaust pipes.Type: GrantFiled: October 3, 2006Date of Patent: December 29, 2009Assignee: Yamaha Hatsudoki Kabushiki KaishaInventor: Keiichi Harada

Patent number: 5163396Abstract: A number of embodiments of combustion chambers for direct cylinder injected engines wherein the combustion chamber has a recess surrounded by a squish area. The fuel injector is disposed so that it will spray into the recess against the wall rather than toward the squish area. Alternate spark plug locations are disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: December 30, 1991Date of Patent: November 17, 1992Assignee: Yamaha Hatsudoki Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Takafumi Fukuda, Takeshi Ito, Keiichi Harada

Patent number: 5092287Abstract: A fuel injection system for a two cycle engine having main fuel injectors that inject directly into the engine combustion chambers and a sub or auxiliary fuel injector that injects into the induction system only under high load conditions to effect better piston cooling. Once the sub fuel injector begin to inject, then the amount of fuel per cycle injected by the main fuel injectors is decreased. The sub injector injects into a common manifold for a multiple cylinder engine and injects only one per crankshaft revolution.Type: GrantFiled: April 10, 1991Date of Patent: March 3, 1992Assignee: Yamaha Hatsudoki Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Yu Motoyama, Masaki Ohsako, Keiichi Harada
