Abstract: A shift mechanism of an outboard motor has an electric actuator having a movable rod, and a guide structure for guiding a linear motion of a sliding body connected to the movable rod. In addition, the shift mechanism includes a link rod connected to the sliding body and bent to extend in a direction different from the direction of the linear motion of the sliding body. Furthermore, the shift mechanism includes a shift shaft part which is connected to the link rod, performs a rotational motion on the basis of a displacement of the link rod, and switches a range of a transmission mechanism provided below on the basis of the rotational motion.

Abstract: An outboard motor that has an actuator and a gear change mechanism. The outboard motor also comprises an operation position sensor that detects the operation position of an operation part, a shift position detection unit that detects the actual shift position of the gear shift mechanism, an actuator detection unit that detects the state of the actuator, and a control device. The control device performs failure determination or drive control of the actuator on the basis of at least two pieces of the detected information.

Abstract: Trim angle control apparatus configured to control a trim angle of an outboard motor including a prime mover, including: a detector configured to detect a rotational speed of the prime mover; an actuator configured to adjust the trim angle of the outboard motor; an operation member configured to be operated by a ship operator to input a change command for changing the trim angle; and an electronic control unit including a processor and memory. The memory stores a target value of the trim angle for each rotational speed range of the prime mover in advance. The processor is configured to perform: setting a target value of the trim angle based on the rotational speed; and controlling the actuator so that the trim angle becomes the target value. The setting includes changing the target value in accordance with the change command when the change command is input through the operation member.

Abstract: A remote controller (4) for watercraft (6) includes a rod (21) extending downward from the free end part of a lever along a lengthwise direction thereof, a lock release button (14) slidably provided in the free end part so as to be slidable in a first direction different from the lengthwise direction of the lever, and a conversion mechanism provided between the lock release button and the first end of the rod to covert a movement of the lock release button in the first direction to a movement of the rod in a second direction extending along the lengthwise direction of the lever.

Abstract: A shift device for an outboard motor includes a forward gear and a reverse gear; a clutch gear; a shift actuator configured to move between a neutral reference position where the clutch gear is disengaged from the forward gear and the reverse gear and an engagement reference position where the clutch gear is engaged with the forward gear or the reverse gear; and a control device configured to control a movement of the shift actuator. The control device is configured to set an intermediate target position, and to set a speed at which the shift actuator moves from the intermediate target position to the engagement reference position slower than a speed at which the shift actuator moves from the neutral reference position to the intermediate target position.

Abstract: The object of the present invention is, based on the finding of a novel effect of IL-18, to provide pharmaceutical compositions containing IL-18 and therapeutic methods, for preventing, improving, or treating inflammatory diseases such as systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS). Inflammatory diseases, such as SIRS, can be prevented, improved, or treated by administering the pharmaceutical compositions according to the present invention containing IL-18 in an amount which does not bring the decreased interleukin 18 level in either plasma or liver to a higher level than normal.
