Patent number: 8757313Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: March 25, 2011Date of Patent: June 24, 2014Assignee: Honda Motor Co., Ltd.Inventors: Masayuki Iwata, Manabu Fujii

Patent number: 8662229Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: February 13, 2012Date of Patent: March 4, 2014Assignee: Honda Motor Co. Ltd.Inventors: Hiroshi Nakagome, Tadashi Oshima, Kyohei Hosoya, Sunao Kawano, Manabu Fujii, Takeshi Kamiyama

Patent number: 8001721Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: September 10, 2007Date of Patent: August 23, 2011Assignee: Mebiol Inc.Inventors: Akihiro Okamoto, Manabu Fujii, Hiroshi Yoshioka, Yuichi Mori

Patent number: 7106414Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: October 22, 2004Date of Patent: September 12, 2006Assignees: Nikon Corporation, Sendai Nikon CorporationInventors: Toshihiko Tsuji, Yoshitomo Nagahashi, Manabu Fujii, Hironori Murakami

Patent number: 4526010Abstract: A separated-unit type air conditioner including indoor, outdoor and remote controller units all of which are provided at different locations. Each of the units is provided with a single pair of connecting terminals to which a control device such as a microcomputer is coupled. Data transmission between units is carried out on a single pair of connecting terminals utilizing a high frequency modulated signal. A DC power supply is provided in one of the indoor or outdoor units which supplies DC power to the other units upon the single pair of control lines.Type: GrantFiled: April 28, 1981Date of Patent: July 2, 1985Assignee: Mitsubishi Denki Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Yasuo Sato, Akio Fukushima, Toshiro Kaise, Yoshiyuki Honda, Kazuho Uemura, Manabu Fujii
