Abstract: The present invention is to provide a terminal for presenting a sentence candidate that presents a candidate to improve the work efficiency and to standardize a sentence, when a report is generated. The terminal for presenting a sentence candidate 100 is capable of presenting a more appropriate sentence candidate by including a report data base 131 that stores a report including a plurality of sentences, searching the report data base by an input character, generating a report group including a plurality of reports as a search result, extracting a sentence containing a character input from the report group to generate a sentence group, and preferentially outputting a predetermined sentence based on a priority.

Abstract: An exhaust system for a saddle-ride type vehicle provides sufficient volume in a chamber while avoiding interference between the chamber and other parts. The vehicle center of gravity is lowered and differences in exhaust pipe length are reduced. Exhaust pipes are connected to combustion chambers of front and rear cylinder banks of a V-type engine. A chamber is connected to the exhaust pipes and mufflers are connected to the chamber. The chamber has an exhaust pipe connection wall to which the exhaust pipes are connected and opposing muffler connection walls. The mufflers are connected to positions on the muffler connection walls closer to the engine relative to a center in a longitudinal direction of the vehicle.

Abstract: An engine includes a balancer shaft that is supported at its both ends through bearings disposed within an engine crankcase. The balancer shaft lies generally parallel with a crankshaft and includes balancer weights, which are provided generally at the ends of the balancer shaft. At least one of the balancer weights is made up of first and second weight portions. The first and second weight portions are disposed on opposite sides of the corresponding bearing. In this manner, the bending moment on the shaft is reduced and, consequently, the balancer shaft can have a smaller diameter to reduce the size of the crankcase.

Abstract: A hybrid-type unit for a two-wheeled vehicle can include an engine, a motor for driving a wheel of a vehicle, a power distribution mechanism, and a generator. The generator and the motor can be disposed at different positions offset longitudinally from each other and offset from the power output shaft of the engine.

Abstract: An engine includes a variable valve timing device coupled to a camshaft, which operates within a cam chamber of the engine. The variable valve timing device includes a hydraulic pressure switchover valve having an elongated valve body. The switchover valve is disposed outside the cam chamber and is oriented such that a longitudinal axis of the elongated valve body lies generally parallel to a rotational axis of the camshaft. In this manner, the engine size can generally remain compact while still employing a variable valve timing device with a switchover valve.

Abstract: The pressure distribution curve of the blade suction-side surface excluding the leading edge portion and the trailing edge portion drops in two stages in the area from the leading edge to the minimum pressure point.

Abstract: A chain chamber of an engine, which accommodates a cam chain for driving a camshaft, is formed between a first cylinder and a second cylinder aligned in the direction along the camshaft. A first-cylinder valve chamber and a second-cylinder valve chamber each accommodate a corresponding valve for supplying secondary air to an exhaust system. The first and second chambers overlap the chain chamber and lie adjacent to each other above the chain chamber. The first-cylinder and second-cylinder valve chambers have first and second valve chamber openings, respectively. A first and a second valve chamber cover for opening and closing the respective valve chamber openings are integrally formed together. This construction reduces the number of engine parts associated with a secondary air system and simplifies the sealing structure of secondary air introduction hoses and cover members.

Abstract: A gas turbine combustor is provides with a stabilizer at a downstream side of a premixing device for premixing and supplying fuel and air into a combustion chamber. The stabilizer has a cylindrical part extending axially from an upstream end thereof to a downstream end and a stabilizing part at the downstream end of the cylindrical part for stabilizing a flame, and the stabilizer is mounted on an inside of the combustor by a plurality of members arranged annularly and secured to the inside of the combustor at their ends, each of the members having a part slidably inserted in an opening of the cylindrical part so as to restrict the stabilizer to move axially while allowing deformation of the stabilizer and another part supporting the upstream end of the cylindrical part so as to restrict radial movement of the stabilizer.

Abstract: A method for controlling a gas turbine combustor which comprises nozzles for injecting fuel into a combustor and which serves to combust the fuel with air in a combustion chamber so as to rotatively drive a gas turbine by combustion gas compressed as a result of combustion of a fuel, wherein the ratio of a flow rate of fuel supplied into the combustor to a flow rate of air supplied into the combustor is changed in accordance with at least one of the states of fuel, air and rotational frequency of the turbine.

Abstract: An induction system for an internal combustion engine wherein each chamber of the engine is provided with three intake ports and one charge former serves two of those intake ports while another charge former serves the other intake port. The charge formers employ a staged throttle valve arrangement so that the other charge former supplies the idle and low speed requirements and the first mentioned charge former comes into operation only at high speeds and loads. In accordance with another feature, the arrangement is provided for pairs of chambers and the single charge former serves two chambers.
