Patent number: 11131239Abstract: First to fourth exhaust passages are provided in a raw blank of a cylinder block, which can be used for both a first exhaust route and a second exhaust route, one of which is selected for use as an exhaust passage. In the first exhaust route, a fifth exhaust passage couples between opening ends of the first and second exhaust passages and is formed in a separate member from the cylinder block, exhaust gas is allowed to flow via the fourth, first, fifth, second, and third exhaust passages, and a catalyst is placed in the exhaust passages. In the second exhaust route, a communication hole is provided in a partition wall between the fourth exhaust passage and the second exhaust passage while the opening ends of the first and second exhaust passages are closed, and the exhaust gas is allowed to flow via the fourth, second, and third exhaust passages.Type: GrantFiled: June 9, 2020Date of Patent: September 28, 2021Assignee: SUZUKI MOTOR CORPORATIONInventors: Morio Kishimoto, Chiaki Suzuki, Jun Ito

Patent number: 8834269Abstract: A program executed in a game device causes a controller to move a plurality of operated characters in a virtual three-dimensional space in accordance with operation signals; decide a moving direction of a field-of-view range; set a screen end of a display screen of a game image on the opposite side of the moving direction of the field-of-view range; generate, if a first operated character is located at a predetermined point outside the screen end, an operation event for receiving a specific operation from an operation unit operating the first operated character; and move, if the specific operation is received when the operation event is generated, at least a second operated character in the plurality of operated characters toward a position of the first operated character. The second operated character is closest to a screen end of the game image in the moving direction of the field-of-view range.Type: GrantFiled: April 12, 2011Date of Patent: September 16, 2014Assignee: Kabushiki Kaisha SegaInventors: Morio Kishimoto, Takuma Komatsu
