Patent number: 6497300Abstract: A motorcycle includes an integrated locking system. The locking system actuates a seat lock from the main switch as well as a handlebar or steering lock. The steering lock is structured such that an overlap of components results in a locking pin passage that extends into a locking pin chamber. The locking pin passage is substantially shielded by a labyrinth defined by overlapping components. The main switch is positioned forward of at least one gauge and a meter cover surrounds at least the gauge and the main switch as well as covers at least a portion of the fuel tank.Type: GrantFiled: April 16, 2001Date of Patent: December 24, 2002Assignee: Yamaha Hatsudoki Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Shuuichi Mori, Masaaki Kuwata, Yutaka Kubo, Shinsuke Okada

Patent number: 6477403Abstract: An endoscope system is provided with first and second light guides, which are optically coupled by an optical coupler. A low-coherent light source is provided, and the light emitted therefrom is incident on the first or second light guide. Further provided is a scanning unit that causes the light beam emerged from the first light guide to scan on a predetermined surface of the object. The light beam reflected by the object is directed, by the scanning unit, to the first light guide as a detection light beam. A light beam emerged from the second light guide is reflected by a reflector and returned to the second light guide as a reference beam. By varying the optical path length of the reference beam relative to that of the detection beam, two beams interfere. A signal processing system generates OCT image based on the signal detected by a light detecting device which receives the interfering beams.Type: GrantFiled: August 8, 2000Date of Patent: November 5, 2002Assignee: Asahi Kogaku Kogyo Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Masaru Eguchi, Koichi Furusawa, Shinsuke Okada, Ryo Ozawa, Tetsuya Nakamura, Tetsuya Utsui
