The invention is to reduce a color mixing resulting from influences of adjacent pixels. The invention provides a solid-state image pickup apparatus including plural pixels each including a PN junction area constituting a photoelectric conversion area, a floating diffusion area for holding a charge outputted from the PN junction area, an amplifying transistor for amplifying the charge in the floating diffusion area, and a wiring for connecting at least the floating diffusion area, a gate electrode of the amplifying transistor and a resetting MOS transistor, and a signal output line for outputting signals from the amplifying transistors, the apparatus including shield lines between the wiring of one pixel or the floating diffusion area and the wiring of one pixel and the signal output line of another adjacent pixel.

An outboard motor steering system wherein an electric motor is installed inside the outboard motor and the output of the electric motor rotates a swivel shaft to steer the propeller, thereby enhancing steering feel by using an electric motor to enable highly responsive and accurate control. In addition, the configuration is simple and does not lead to an increase in number of components or weight. In another steering system wherein a first hydraulic cylinder for driving a steering system and second hydraulic cylinders for driving a power tilt-trim system are supplied hydraulic oil from the same pump, thereby making a dedicated hydraulic pump for the steering system unnecessary and thus enabling reduction of system size and weight. In still another steering system wherein the outboard motor main unit is swiveled to turn the propeller by extension/contraction of the hydraulic cylinder whose one end is attached to the outboard motor main unit and other end is attached to the boat side of the outboard motor. In a plan view taken in the gravitational direction, moreover, the hydraulic cylinder is located inside the vertical projection plane of the profile of the outboard motor main unit, so that the hydraulic cylinder never projects outside the outboard motor main unit no matter how much it extends or contracts.

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. The system includes a swivel shaft connected to the propeller to turn it relative to the boat, a swivel case fixed to the outboard motor and rotatably accommodating the swivel shaft, and a hydraulic actuator connected to the swivel shaft to rotate it. The actuator has a shape whose height is larger than its width and is installed in such a manner that a direction of the height is in parallel with a vertical direction, so as not to project outside a profile of the outboard motor, obtained by looking down the outboard motor from downward, regardless of a steered angle of the outboard motor. Specifically, the actuator is two hydraulic cylinders installed in an over-under manner or an elliptic hydraulic cylinder having a plurality of piston rods installed in the same manner. With this, it can enhance the output of the actuator to increase the steering force (torque), can prevent the actuator from projecting outside the profile, and can avoid constriction of the space around the outboard motor.

In An outboard motor mounted on a stem of a boat and having an internal combustion engine, a throttle body (that accommodates the throttle valve) is installed at a position close to the boat, and an electric motor is fastened to the throttle body so as to drive the throttle valve to open or close through a simple gear mechanism. This arrangement can mitigate operation load and offer improved operation feel. Further, it is simpler than a cable or a link mechanism, does not lead to an increase in number of components or weight, and hence the amount of required installation space can be reduced. A knob is provided and the operator can pinch and rotate it to open the throttle valve manually, when the electric motor breaks down.

In an outboard motor mounted on a stern of a boat and having an internal combustion engine at its upper portion and a propeller at its lower portion that is powered by the engine to propel the boat, and having a shift mechanism comprising a clutch installed in the outboard motor to be engaged from with a forward gear that causes the boat to be propelled in a forward direction or a reverse gear that causes the boat to be propelled in a reverse direction, a shift rod movably installed in the outboard motor, and a shift slider connected to the shift rod to slide to a position at which the clutch is engaged with the forward gear or a position at which the clutch is engaged with the reverse gear, an actuator such as an electric motor is installed in the outboard motor to move the shift rod. The arrangement can mitigate the load than that under manual operation and offer improved operation feel, without leading to an increase in number of components or weight, and in addition, the required installation space at the hull is no longer needed.

An internal combustion engine is provided with a decompressing mechanism including: a pin supported so as to be turnable on a camshaft; a flyweight supported for turning relative to the camshaft by the pin on the camshaft; and a decompression cam capable of operating together with the flyweight to apply valve opening force to an engine valve. The pin is inserted in holes formed in the flyweight so as to be turnable. A spring washer restrains the pin and the flyweight from movement relative to each other, so that generation of rattling noise due to collision between the pin and the flyweight can be prevented or controlled.

In an engine, a cover member closing an opening in an engine block is integrally formed with supporting arms extending radially outwards beyond an outer periphery of a flywheel mounted on a crankshaft supported at its one end on the cover member, and a recoil starter located axially outside the flywheel is supported on the supporting arms. Thus, the recoils starter can be supported easily and reliably without provision of a special mounting bracket and a stay and while preventing the interference with the flywheel. Moreover, the coaxiality of the recoil starter and the crankshaft can be ensured.

The present invention relates to a sheet feeding apparatus comprising a sheet supporting means for supporting sheets, a feeding means for feeding the sheets on the sheet supporting means in a sheet feeding direction, a separating means for rotating in a direction opposite to the sheet feeding direction to separate the sheets sheet by sheet in pressurized contact with the feeding means and a transmitting means for transmitting drive force of the feeding means to the separating means. A circumferential speed of the separating means is set smaller than a circumferential speed of the feeding means.

In a propeller for a boat, a plurality of stationary blades and a plurality of variable blades are alternately disposed around an outer periphery of a propeller boss. Exhaust passages are formed in the propeller boss to axially pass through the propeller boss at location corresponding to the stationary blades. Despite the provision of the variable blade which is variable in diameter or pitch, the exhaust passage can be formed into a large sectional area in the blade boss without being obstructed by a blade shaft for the variable blade.

An ink jet recording apparatus includes a recording head having an ink discharge opening for discharging ink, a suction system for applying negative pressure to the ink discharge opening to suck ink therefrom to recover proper discharge of ink, and a first capping member for capping the ink discharge opening, the member being connected to the suction system to apply negative pressure to the discharge opening when it is capped. The apparatus also includes an ink retaining portion for retaining ink to be fed to the recording head, a vent opening in the ink retaining portion, and a second capping member for capping the vent opening. The capping members are operable in a first mode in which the first capping member does not cap the discharge opening and the second capping member does not cap the vent opening, a second mode in which the first capping member caps the ink discharge opening and the second capping member does not cap the vent opening, and a third mode in which the first capping member caps the ink discharge opening and the second capping member caps the vent opening.
