  • Patent number: 8757313
    Abstract: A saddle type vehicle includes a throttle body arranged while restraining the effect of the exhaust air of a radiator while restraining the vehicle width even though the radiator is large. A radiator includes a mixed flow fan which flows exhaust air from the radiator rearwardly and outwardly in the vehicle width direction and a motor configured to rotate the mixed flow fan on the back surface thereof. A throttle body is arranged rearwardly of the mixed flow fan so as to be overlapped with the mixed flow fan in a front view.

  • Patent number: 8662229
    Abstract: A saddle-ride vehicle includes a vehicle-body frame, an engine, a seat, a storage box, a box lid, a box-side locking mechanism, a filler lid, a filler-side locking mechanism, an unlocking mechanism, a box-side cable, and a filler-side cable. The unlocking mechanism includes a key cylinder which is key-operated. The unlocking mechanism is disposed between a head pipe and the storage box. The box-side cable is connected to the key cylinder. The box-side cable is to be caused to unlock a lock of the box-side locking mechanism by turning a key in one of a clockwise direction and a counterclockwise direction. The filler-side cable is connected to the key cylinder. The filler-side cable is to be caused to unlock a lock of the filler-side locking mechanism by turning the key in another of the clockwise direction and the counterclockwise direction.

  • Patent number: 8573176
    Abstract: A crank chamber communication structure for a multi-cylinder internal combustion engine having a plurality of partition walls that are formed by a cylinder block and a crankcase, that are formed to support a crankshaft and to define a plurality of crank chambers that correspond to the plurality of cylinders, the structure including: a plurality of respective first communicating holes formed in the plurality of partition walls for communication between respective pairs of adjoining crank chambers separated by an interposed partition wall; and a second communicating hole that is formed at least either of the cylinder block or the crankcase, and that is interposed between a pair of non-adjoining crank chambers between which at least two partition walls among the plurality of partition walls are interposed for direct communication between the pair of non-adjoining crank chambers.

  • Patent number: 8001721
    Abstract: To provide a system for producing safe and high nutrition vegetables at low cost. A plant cultivation system for cultivating a plant on a nonporous hydrophilic film, which comprises a nonporous hydrophilic film and a feeding means for supplying water or a nutrient fluid to the lower surface of the film in the absence of a hydroponic tank for accommodating water or a nutrient fluid and cultivating a plant therein. As the feeding means, use is made of a water absorbing material which is in contact with the film and which is disposed between the film and a water impermeable material. A system for producing safe and high nutrition vegetables at low cost can be obtained by disposing the water impermeable material directly on ground soil, whereupon the water absorbing material and an irrigation tube are disposed, followed by disposing the film thereon.

  • Patent number: 7106414
    Abstract: An exposure system is provided which can maintain a predetermined performance of the exposure apparatus stably by maintaining a cooling capacity by preventing a negative pressure from being generated in a circulation path of the liquid and preventing the back pressure from increasing even if at least a part of a temperature adjusting device is disposed under a disposition surface of the exposure apparatus due to the disposition area. A sealed tank which stores the cooling agent which is circulated in the circuiting systems and a pump, etc., which circulates the cooling agent are disposed under the disposition surface FL of the exposure system. The reticle stage and the wafer stage which are objects of which the temperature is supposed to be controlled are disposed above the disposition surface FL. A tank which open to air is provided so as to prevent the negative pressure from being generated in the reticle stage, etc. such that the tank and the tank are connected by a connecting piping arrangement.
