Patent number: 9506442Abstract: A direct injector unit includes a fuel pipe and injectors fixed to the fuel pipe. The direct injector unit is assembled to a cylinder head by: mounting the cylinder head in a predetermined posture; holding the direct injector unit while positioning a reference injector and guiding remaining injectors such that their leading end portions are movable; and inserting the injectors into injector mounting holes of the cylinder head by relatively moving the direct injector unit toward the cylinder head in a state in which the reference injector is positioned with respect to a corresponding injector mounting hole.Type: GrantFiled: January 14, 2013Date of Patent: November 29, 2016Assignee: HONDA MOTOR CO., LTD.Inventors: Yasuo Watanabe, Takeshi Hara, Yusuke Miho, Hiroshi Yoshioka, Kenichi Yokoo

Patent number: 8723867Abstract: A game apparatus includes a first LCD and a second LCD, and on the first LCD, a two-dimensional game screen including objects positioned in a two-dimensional coordinate is displayed. When a two-dimensional coordinate of a specific object out of the objects positioned in the two-dimensional coordinate satisfies a predetermined condition, a three-dimensional coordinate of each of the objects is calculated on the basis of the two-dimensional coordinate of each of the objects. The object is modeled in the calculated three-dimensional coordinate, moved by a predetermined animation, and then shot by a virtual camera. Accordingly, a game screen of an image (animation) of the three-dimensional virtual space shot by the virtual camera is displayed on the second LCD.Type: GrantFiled: December 28, 2010Date of Patent: May 13, 2014Assignee: Nintendo Co., Ltd.Inventors: Shinya Saito, Yasunari Watanabe, Kenichi Yokoo

Publication number: 20120137970Abstract: Provided is a device for treating the inner surface of a cylinder barrel. A cover member (32) is provided, at the lower surface (59) thereof, with seal rings (54, 55, 56). The seal rings (54, 55, 56) are disposed concentrically about the center axis (63) of a cylinder barrel (43, 67). The lower ends of the seal rings (54, 55, 56) are disposed at different levels of height in such a manner that the farther away from the center axis (63), the higher the positions of the lower ends relative to the seal ring (54) closest to the center axis (63).Type: ApplicationFiled: July 1, 2010Publication date: June 7, 2012Applicant: HONDA MOTOR CO., LTD.Inventors: Hiroyuki Naruse, Hitoshi Karasawa, Kenichi Yokoo

Patent number: 6924732Abstract: A power monitoring section detects the interruption of AC electric power from a power line, and switches operating power within a camera to power from a battery. A control section sets control of the camera to a different mode at the power stopping time. The operation is controlled to pick-up one static image at constant time intervals, and sequentially stores the static image to a data storage section. A voice section stops collecting sounds. The control section stops communication with a master set. When the AC electric power is restored the operating power is switched to the electric power from the power line. When a user utilizing the master set knows the restoration of the power, the user gives commands for reading image information stored during the power stoppage to the camera, and monitors the state during the interruption of the AC electric power.Type: GrantFiled: September 15, 2003Date of Patent: August 2, 2005Assignee: Alps Electric Co., Ltd.Inventor: Kenichi Yokoo
