  • Patent number: 11961059
    Abstract: The present disclosure promotes distribution of sensor data among a plurality of business operators. A controller that an information processing system according to the present disclosure includes collects first data including a plurality of items and personal information from mobile bodies belonging to a first business operator. The controller converts the first data to second data not being usable to identify individuals. The controller provides data in a range decided based on content of a predetermined data use contract, among the second data, to a second business operator. The controller calculates a consideration for the data that is to be paid by the second business operator, based on a data use record of the second business operator.

  • Patent number: 7147075
    Abstract: An off-road vehicle has a frame. A pair of front wheels and a pair of rear wheels support the frame. The frame supports at least two seats. An engine powers the off-road vehicle and has a crankshaft. A transmission has an output shaft driven by the crankshaft. The output shaft drives the front and rear wheels. Each seat has a front end, a rear end and a bottom end. The crankshaft is positioned between the output shaft and the rear wheels. The crankshaft and the output shaft are disposed between a generally vertically extending first plane including the front end of the seat and a generally vertically extending second plane including the rear end of the seat. The crankshaft and the output shaft also are disposed below a generally horizontally extending third plane.

  • Patent number: 4650026
    Abstract: An off the road motorcycle of the type having a rear wheel mounting a balloon type tire and an improved suspension and driving arrangement therefor. The driving arrangement includes a first chain that is disposed on one side of the longitudinal center line of the motorcycle and which is driven by its engine and a second chain disposed on the opposite side of the motorcycle and driving the rear wheels. The chains are interconnected by an intermediate shaft that is journaled on the trailing arm and positioned rearwardly of the trailing arm pivot axis. A single substantially horizontally disposed suspension element cushions the trailing arm movement and an improved arrangement is provided for maintaining uniform tension in the first chain.

  • Patent number: 4133400
    Abstract: A snowmobile comprises a vehicle body, a suspension mechanism connected at a lower portion of the vehicle body and a torsion mechanism for preventing the outward inclination of the vehicle body when the snowmobile is turned. The tension mechanism is provided with a U-shaped tension member which consists of a pair of arms and a base. The arms extend lengthwise of the vehicle body and have their free ends connected to the rear portion of the suspension mechanism. The base has its both ends secured to the other ends of the arms and is made of material of high torsional rigidity and rotatably supported by the vehicle body. When the snowmobile is turned quickly, the torsion mechanism acts to substantially equalize the downward flexture of both lateral side portions of the suspension mechanism, thereby to prevent the vehicle body from being excessively inclined outward of its turning under a centrifugal force exerted thereon.
