Abstract: A method for manufacturing an antenna device may include a first step of forming an antenna circuit so that the resonance frequency of the antenna circuit will be lower than an oscillation frequency of the reader/writer. The antenna circuit includes an antenna coil that receives the magnetic field transmitted from the reader/writer and a capacitor electrically connected to the antenna coil. The manufacturing method also includes a second step of affixing a magnetic sheet to the antenna coil via an adhesive. The magnetic sheet is at a face-to-face position with respect to the antenna coil and is configured to change the inductance of the antenna coil. The adhesive is of a film thickness to change the inductance so that the resonance frequency of the resonance circuit will be coincident with the oscillation frequency depending on the spacing between the antenna coil and the magnetic sheet.

The antenna device also includes a magnetic sheet formed at a face-to-face position with respect to the antenna coil and configured for changing the inductance of the antenna coil. The capacitor has a temperature characteristic in which the capacitance of the capacitor is changed with changes in temperature. The magnetic sheet is formed of a magnetic material having a temperature characteristic in which the inductance of the antenna coil is made to be changed with an opposite sign of change to that of the capacitance of the capacitor that is changed with changes in temperature in the working temperature range. In this manner, the resonance frequency of the antenna circuit in the working temperature range may be brought approximately into coincidence with the oscillation frequency of the reader/writer.

Abstract: To obtain a latch device for obtaining a great output load with a small input load. Holding parts (70) are provided on one end of holding members (64), and cam parts (72) are provided on the other end of the holding members (64), with a support part (68) of the holding members (64) as reference, and the cam parts (72) are moved away from each other by way of a rod (74), whereby the holding parts (70) are moved closer to each other. That is, the magnitude of the external force acting on the cam parts (72) can be changed by the movement of the rod (74), and the holding force of the holding parts (70) can therefore be changed with the support part (68) as a fulcrum. In other words, the stroke of the rod (74) and the position of the support part (68) of the holding member (64) are changed, and the distance from the support part (68) to the holding part (70) is made longer than the distance from the support part (68) to the cam parts (72).

Abstract: A carburetor includes a valve mechanism, and a needle jet extending in an up and down direction. Also included is a jet needle provided to a sliding throttle valve disposed in an air intake tube and inserted into the jet needle. The valve mechanism includes a valve body, which has a plate shape and which is moved by the flow of the fuel. When a motorcycle lands on the ground after the motorcycle jumps while running, the fuel-in-jet, that is, the fuel in the needle jet, tends to accelerate downwardly. The valve mechanism prevents a downward reverse flow of the fuel-in-jet on which such downward acceleration acts. The resulting configuration prevents temporary production of a lean air-fuel mixture, which may possibly be produced when the fuel in the needle jet has accelerated downwardly.
