Toshihiro Miki has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 6497211
    Abstract: A power unit has a power case which includes a crankcase portion integrally formed with a transmission case portion. The crankcase portion forms a crankcase in which the crankshaft of a 4-cycle internal combustion engine is received. The transmission case portion forms a transmission case in which a wet type multiple disc friction clutch for transmitting the torque of the crankshaft is received. A partition wall makes the crankcase independent of the transmission case, and thus separates the lubrication system of the internal combustion engine from the lubrication system of the friction clutch. The lubrication structure of the present invention can improve the durability of the friction clutch and make the friction clutch compact, and secure good connection performance of the friction clutch by separating the lubrication system of an internal combustion engine from the lubrication system of friction clutch.

  • Patent number: 4877962
    Abstract: An ion implantation method for a substrate of (100) silicon is disclosed in which the implantation is performed on a substrate which is tilted with respect to an incident ion beam and is rotated in its own plane by 15.degree. to 75.degree. from a position in which the (110) crystal planes of the silicon would be aligned with the incident ion beam. The substrate is then rotated in its own plane by 90.degree., 180.degree., and 270.degree. from its initial position and ion implantation is performed at each position using the same dose of ions. The initial angle of rotation is preferably about 45.degree..
