Abstract: An all terrain vehicle is constructed to allow the positions at which the headlights are attached to be designed freely, and allows a large amount of design freedom in the vicinity of each headlight. Left and right brackets are detachably mounted to the body frame so as to be below the left and right front fenders, respectively, and the left and right headlights are mounted to the left and right brackets, respectively.

Abstract: This invention decreases a spectral reflectance in the entire visible wavelength range, to decrease inconveniences in an image such as flare or ghost. A non-reflective periodic layer including a large number of fine uneven periodic structure bodies is formed on a substrate, and an ND film is formed on the other surface of the substrate by vacuum deposition, to improve an anti-reflection function. Regarding a beam entering the ND filter, the MgF2 film of the formed ND film suppresses the spectral reflectance at the boundary of the atmosphere and the ND film and at the boundary of the ND film and the substrate. The non-reflective periodic layer decreases the reflectance at the boundary of the substrate and the atmosphere.

Abstract: An all terrain vehicle has necessary rigidity despite a split-type body frame being used. A body frame is split into front and rear subframes along a front-to-rear direction of the vehicle, the subframes being detachably linked to each other via bolts. An upper linking section between the subframes is disposed between an engine upper suspension section for suspending an upper portion of an engine unit and an engine rear suspension section for suspending a rear portion of the engine unit.

Abstract: An all terrain vehicle is capable of preventing the temperature of air supplied to an engine and the temperature of a battery from being excessively increased and has a large minimum ground clearance. An object-mountable supporting box is bridged between left and right frame members of a body frame. A battery is located above a bottom plate of the supporting box. An air cleaner is located between the left and right frame members and rearward relative to the supporting box. An intake passage is located in an area which is between the left and right frame members, above the bottom plate of the supporting box, and beside the battery. An exhaust passage passes through an area above a bottom of the frame body and below the bottom plate of the supporting box.

Abstract: This invention decreases deformation of a plastic substrate caused by thermal expansion and contraction in an evaporation process of forming a multi-layered film of an ND filter, thus helping prevent wrinkles. The plastic substrate serving as the base of the ND filter is made of a polyimide-based plastic material having a glass transition temperature of 200° C. or more, has a total transmittance of light of 90% or more, and has a haze factor of 0.5% or less. As the multi-layered film, Al2O3 films for reduction of the reflectance and TiOx films for reduction of the transmittance are alternately formed on the substrate.

Abstract: This invention decreases deformation of a plastic substrate caused by thermal expansion and contraction in an evaporation process of forming a multi-layered film of an ND filter, thus arising of wrinkles is prevented. The plastic substrate serving as the base of the ND filter is made of a polyimide-based plastic material having a glass transition temperature of 200° C. or more, and has a total transmittance of light of 90% or more and has a haze factor, which represents the haze of 0.5% or less. As the multi-layered film, Al2O3 films for reduction of the reflectance and TiOx films for reduction of the transmittance are alternately formed on the substrate. An MgF2 film made of a low-refraction material is formed as the uppermost layer to further reduce the reflection. In the evaporation process, even when the temperature of the plastic substrate reaches almost 200° C.

Abstract: What is disclosed is an ND filter that enables relatively easy control of light quantity when used in an iris device and realizes excellent optical performance. The ND filter has a first region having an ND film with a uniform density, a second region having an ND film with a uniform density different from the density of the first region, and a density transition region provided between the first region and the second region. The density transition region has an ND film whose density changes continuously from the density of the first region to the density of the second region.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method of manufacturing an ND filter having a gradation density distribution, the ND filter, and an aperture device and a camera having the ND filter. A structure thereof is as follows. The method of manufacturing an ND filter having at least two kinds of films on a substrate includes the steps of: forming a film of at least one layer other than an outermost layer having a gradation density distribution while rotating a slit mask integrally with the substrate; and forming a film of the outermost layer without using the slit mask.

Abstract: In a hydraulic pressure actuating apparatus for a circuit breaker, contacts of the circuit breaker have a moving contact and a stationary contact for turning on/off current. A shaft, at an end portion of which is attached the moving contact, and at the other end of which is attached a piston, is received within a cylinder. A directional control valve exchanges oil pressure for actuating the piston. For changing over the directional control valve, pilot valves are provided. Each pilot valve has a pair of valve bodies, each opposing to each other, and springs. One of the valve bodies is able to stroke up to contact with the valve body of the other valve body, therefore giving no ill influences upon actuating time, even if drawback occurs in the pilot valves in the hydraulic pressure actuating apparatus for the circuit breaker.

Abstract: An all terrain vehicle includes an engine and a final drive assembly. The engine includes an output shaft that supports a drive sprocket or pulley. The final drive assembly comprises an input shaft that supports a driven sprocket or pulley and a brake disc. A flexible transmitter such as a belt or a chain connects the drive sprocket or pulley and the driven sprocket or pulley. The final drive assembly is formed separate of the engine and spaced apart from the engine when the two components are mounted to a frame of the vehicle. The driven sprocket or pulley is positioned on an upper portion of the final drive assembly while a lower portion of the final drive assembly is pivotally connected to the frame. The final drive assembly can be pivoted to adjust a tension level within the flexible transmitter. The final drive assembly can be selectively secured in a pivotal position by a support rod and/or a set of slotted brackets.

Abstract: An image signal processing apparatus includes a vertical register for storing and transferring color signals obtained as image signals related to at least three primary colors, a horizontal register for receiving the color signals transferred from the vertical register and a transfer controller for succeedingly transferring a series of color signals for every color composed of a series of data or one and the same color for one line related to the three primary colors, to the horizontal register in every horizontal blanking period, and for successively transferring and outputting the series of color signals transferred to the horizontal register. As a result, the image signal processing apparatus is made of a small size at a reduced cost by simplifying the circuit configuration.

Abstract: A suspension type transporter suspends a bolt drawing machine through a trolley and a hoist above a pressure container having many bolt attached thereto and transports the bolt drawing machine to a target position. A track settling portion having a guide is provided on an outer periphery of a lid of the pressure container. The suspension type transporter for the bolt drawing machine comprises a guide mechanism which restricts movement of the bolt drawing machine in the air by the guide. The guide mechanism of the transporter is provided with a position detector which can detect a position of the bolt drawing machine. A positioning controller of the suspension type transporter controls the transporter so that the transporter starts at slow speed, is then accelerated to a prescribed speed and is gradually decelerated near the target position.
