The upper subunit is provided with a plate-shaped portion to block an opening formed in the fuel tank and guide rails and extending from that plate-shaped portion to the bottom of the fuel tank, and the two elements are integrally molded of resin. The lower subunit is provided with a resin-built reservoir, and slots to slidably accept the guide rails are integrally molded with the reservoir. When a large force works on the reservoir unit and the fuel tank, the guide rails and are destroyed before the plate-shaped portion would be, so that the destruction of the plate-shaped portion can be prevented.

    摘要: 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.

    摘要: A solid-state image pickup apparatus includes photosensitive cells and color filter segments arranged in a particular pattern and assigned to a particular photosensitive cell each. Signal charges generated in the photosensitive cells by photoelectric transduction are digitized and then written to a frame memory as pixel data. Correlation of the pixel data read out of the frame memory is detected. Each color is multiplied by a particular constant on the basis of the detected correlation of the pixel data to thereby output corrected pixel data. The corrected pixel data are used to generate high-frequency luminance data and three primary color data for actual pixels and virtual pixels. The various kinds of data are used to generate a luminance signal and chrominance signals.
