Abstract: A saddle riding vehicle includes: a body frame; a fuel tank; an upright internal combustion engine; a fuel injection device; and a high-pressure fuel pump. The high-pressure fuel pump is configured to be driven by one of an intake-side camshaft and an exhaust-side camshaft. The high-pressure fuel pump is mounted on an upper surface of a cylinder head cover in an attitude inclined rearward toward the other of the camshafts. The high-pressure fuel pump can thus be protected from disturbances from the sides, and the length of a high-pressure pipe for feeding fuel from the high-pressure fuel pump to the fuel injection device can be shortened. The vehicle protects the high-pressure fuel pump from disturbances from the sides, and prevents acceleration of vaporization of fuel by reducing heat which the high-pressure fuel pump receives from the cylinder block.

Abstract: An internal combustion engine 31 for a motorcycle includes a supercharger 63 arranged above a crankcase 81 positioned below a front cylinder head 92 of a front bank 31A and a rear cylinder head 97 of a rear bank 31B. In the internal combustion engine 31 for the motorcycle, the crankcase 81 is covered with a case cover 116 from the outside in a vehicle width direction, and the supercharger 63 is supported by a supercharger supporting portion 116a provided above the case cover 116.

Abstract: In the case of forming a scribe line by irradiating a laser in an ultraviolet range in one stroke, the glass bending strength after glass is cut is about 50 MPa or less, and the glass is likely to be subjected to crack damage during use as liquid crystal panel glass or the like. In a glass cutting method in which a portion to be cut of glass 4 is irradiated with a pulse laser 2 in one stroke of relative movement to form a scribe line 7, and then the glass is cut by applying a break force to the scribe line 7, a pulse laser of an ultraviolet range is used as the pulse laser 2, and the pulse laser 2 is irradiated while the pulse laser 2 is being relatively moved so that the total number of pulses at each irradiation portion is in a range of 2,667 to 8,000 pulses, whereby the scribe line 7 is formed to a depth of 1.8 to 6.3% of the thickness of the glass 4.

Abstract: A reactive hot-melt adhesive composition useful for bonding is described comprising a reactive urethane prepolymer, a thermoplastic polymer, and a tackifier. A method for using this composition which melts at lower than hot-melt adhesive temperatures and has good pot-life is also described.
