Title: Exhaust system for motorcycle
Inventor: TANAKA YUICHI
IPC: B62K11/00
Filed: 2008-03-19
Abstract: To gather plural exhaust pipes in a multi-cylinder engine and provide a catalyst in the gathered portion while ensuring a sufficient minimum road clearance. In a V engine having front and rear bank cylinders, an oil pan is disposed below a crankcase. The oil pan is in a downwardly projecting generally T shape having a central portion formed as a narrow storage chamber. A flat catalyst chamber is disposed on the left side of the storage chamber. A manifold pipe with front cylinders connected thereto and a manifold pipe with rear cylinders connected thereto are connected to the catalyst chamber from the front side and an exhaust pipe extends backward from a rear face of the catalyst chamber. The catalyst is disposed within the catalyst chamber to purify exhaust gas passing through the interior of the catalyst chamber. Since the storage chamber is formed as a narrow chamber and the catalyst chamber is disposed sideways in parallel with the storage chamber, it is possible to ensure a sufficient minimum road clearance.  Moreover, since the catalyst chamber can be disposed on a relatively upstream side of exhaust, it is possible to promote activation of the catalyst.

Title: Method for detecting objects with visible light
Inventor: CANTIN DANIEL
IPC: G01S17/10
Filed: 2008-06-18
Abstract: A method for detecting an object using visible light comprises providing a visible-light source having a function of illuminating an environment. The visible-light source is driven to emit visible light in a predetermined mode, with visible light in the predetermined mode being emitted such that the light source maintains said function of illuminating an environment. A reflection/backscatter of the emitted visible light is received from an object. The reflection/backscatter is filtered over a selected wavelength range as a function of a desired range of detection from the light source to obtain a light input. The presence or position of the object is identified with the desired range of detection as a function of the light input and of the predetermined mode.

Abstract: A first image of an area of an individual's skin (2) illuminated by a light source (3) via a polarizing filter (4) is obtained by a digital camera (1) via a second polarizing filter (5) arranged to filter visible light having the same polarity as light passing through the first polarizing filter (4). This image is then processed by a computer (6) which utilises the detected levels of light and a model (15-20) of the interaction of light with chromophores present in the skin (2) to determine expected levels light returned by the illuminated area of skin (2) on the basis of determined concentrations of chromophores present in the skin. A second image of the individual's skin (2) illuminated by the light source (3) in the absence of the polarizing filter (4) is then obtained. A surface map indicative of skin texture is then determined based of the differences between the first and second images scaled by geometry data indicative of variations in the strength of illumination due to variations in surface geometry of the individual's skin (2) derived from the difference between the first obtained image and the expected appearance of the illuminated are of skin (2) based on the calculated estimated concentrations of chromophores.

Title: Wireless surface acoustic wave-based proximity sensor, sensing system and method
Inventor: SPIVAK ALEXANDER
IPC: G01S13/75
Filed: 2008-10-10
Abstract: The subject invention is related to wireless proximity sensor and sensing system for detecting the position of an object. The system includes a transceiver for providing wireless communication with a passive wireless surface acoustic wave (SAW) proximity sensor. The wireless proximity sensor receives a wireless signal from the transceiver, which powers the SAW   device and in turn transmits a signal back to the transceiver that includes information about the position of an object. The wireless proximity sensor uses one or more SAW  devices with a sensing element made of magnetostrictive material, in conjunction with one or more magnets and one or more targets that are positioned relative to an object. The movement of the target(s) in relation to the proximity sensor operatively produces a mechanical response due to the shift in the magnetic field of the sensing element. The sensing element in turn enhances the magnetic field of the SAW device to which it is attached, and this information is transmitted to the transceiver as information about the position of an object.
