  • Patent number: 10771840
    Abstract: A sink device is bi-directionally communicably connected to the source device. The sink device includes a first memory, and a controller. Stored in the first memory is a plurality of pieces of audio format information including information representing an audio format that the sink device can process. The controller selects, from among the plurality of pieces of audio format information stored in the first memory, one piece of audio format information corresponding to receiver format information representing an audio format that a receiver device connected to the sink device can process. The controller then outputs the selected audio format information to the source device.

  • Patent number: 9540973
    Abstract: An oil passage structure of a dry sump engine includes an oil recovery passage, at least one first communicating hole, and a first oil suction passage. The oil recovery passage extends in a direction in which a cylinder bank extends and is disposed so that at least part of the oil recovery passage is located outward of an external lower end portion of a valve gear chamber of a cylinder head along a junction between a side wall portion of the cylinder head and a bottom surface of the valve gear chamber in a state where the dry sump engine is mounted on a vehicle in an inclined manner. The at least one first communicating hole is provided in the side wall portion so as to connect the valve gear chamber of the cylinder head and the oil recovery passage.

  • Patent number: 9472181
    Abstract: An audio read-out device comprises an audio signal generator, a first information receiver, a first information transmitter, a first controller, and a mixed audio signal generator, and when the first information receiver receives audio output enablement information indicating that audio output is disabled, the first controller causes the mixed audio signal generator to generate a mixed audio signal composed of a broadcast audio signal and causes the first information transmitter to transmit the mixed audio signal until the first information receiver receives audio output enablement information indicating that audio output is enabled; and when the first information receiver receives audio output enablement information indicating that audio output is enabled, the first controller causes the mixed audio signal generator to generate a mixed audio signal obtained by mixing a read-out audio signal and a broadcast audio signal, and causes the first information transmitter to transmit the mixed audio signal.

  • Patent number: 8763568
    Abstract: A spacer fitted inside a water jacket of a cylinder block in an internal combustion engine is set so that a space formed between an inner peripheral surface of the spacer and an inner wall surface of the water jacket is smaller than a space formed between an outer peripheral surface of the spacer and an outer wall surface of the water jacket. Accordingly, even if a position of the spacer is shifted in a radial direction, the inner peripheral surface of the spacer comes into abutment on the inner wall surface of the water jacket at first. Thereby, the abutment of the outer peripheral surface of the spacer on the outer wall surface of the water jacket is prevented completely. Therefore, hitting sounds of pistons can be blocked by the space between the outer peripheral surface of the spacer and the outer wall surface of the water jacket.
