Inventor: MIZUGUCHI HIROSHI
IPC: B63H20/12
Filed: 2004-01-14
Abstract: In an outboard motor steering system for an outboard motor mounted on a stern of a boat and having an internal combustion engine at its upper portion and a propeller with a rudder at its lower portion powered by the engine to propel and steer the boat, a controller is connected to an actuator to rotate the outboard motor relative to the boat, and controls the actuator in such a manner that steered angle of the outboard motor relative to a steering angle inputted through a steering wheel becomes a predetermined ratio that is changed such that the steered angle of the outboard motor relative to the steering angle decreases with increasing moving speed of the boat. Alternatively, a switch is provided to be manipulated by the operator and generating a signal indicative of an instruction to change the steered angle of the outboard motor when manipulated; and the controller controlling the actuator to steer the outboard motor to an angle in response to inputted steering angle when the switch is not manipulated, while controlling the actuator to change the steered angle when the switch is manipulated. With this, the burdens of the operator are lightened and the steering feel is improved, in particular when the operator steers the boat to approach or leave a quay.

Abstract: An air travel system preferably uses an airport terminal or concourse (30) that includes at least one regional aircraft boarding pier (10) and at least one boarding bridge for larger aircraft. The regional aircraft boarding pier includes a primary passenger bridge (12) extending from the airport terminal or concourse; a pier hub (14) connected to the primary passenger bridge; and a plurality of secondary passenger bridges (16) connected to, and extending from, the hub. Each secondary passenger bridge has a docking end (26) for docking with a regional aircraft (36). A method of operating this air travel system includes boarding a passenger on a regional aircraft by sending the passenger through the regional aircraft boarding pier.

Abstract: An electronic or electronic animal trap wherein the housing includes a pair of spaced electrodes or charge plates in a killing chamber intermediate the tra p entrance and a source of bait. When used in association with an inclined pla ne trap, the effectiveness of the electrocuting circuitry is enhanced. Alternative embodiments of the electric or electronic trap interpose at leas t one diverter in the pathway to the electrodes which discourages a target animal from reversing direction before it is electrocuted. In one embodiment , juxtaposed to the entrance are at least two diverter members angularly offse t relative to each other to define a maze-like path to lead a target animal to the charge plates for electrocution while discouraging reversal of direction and protecting against direct access to the charge plates through the entran ce opening by children, pets or non-target species. A diverter or barrier plate may be carried by the housing cover or side wall to extend into the space between the electrodes when the cover is closed, the lower edge of the barri er being spaced from the housing floor a limiited distance to force a target animal to squeeze under the barrier as it passes to the second electrode making escape before electrocution difficult. This design may be utilized in combinationwith a spaced, upwardly extending diverter or barrier plate to block direct access to the pair of electrodes from the entrance opening. The effectiveness of an inclined plane trap assembly may also be enhanced by a plate carried by the cover which forces a target animal to stretch itself ou t before engaging the second electrode.

Abstract: A traveling slip assembly of a snubbing unit is supported directly through mechanical fastening of two or more hydraulic actuators to one or more load members extending from a tubular snubbing structure for transfer of snubbing loads to a wellhead. A stationary slip assembly is supported by the snubbing structure and is substantially independent from the hydraulic actuators. This arrangement ensures proper alignment of the traveling and stationary slip assemblies and the tubular snubbing structure enabling ease of assembly, precise alignment and a lighter overall structure. Preferably, the load members are part of a load plate which is mechanically fastened to an outer flange on the snubbing structure, and separate therefrom, thereby being isolated from the wellbore fluids and permitting the load plate's material properties to be selected without consideration of corrosion restrictions and thereby allowing a stronger and lighter load plate to be employed.
