摘要:
A lower unit of a marine outboard drive has a unique shape which inhibits boundary layer separation within the water flow stream over the lower unit regardless of the trim position of the lower unit. The lower unit includes a nacelle. The front nose of the nacelle blends smoothly into a supporting strut in a vertical direction to form a generally teardrop-like cross-sectional shape. The front end of the strut fairs the nacelle body from its sharp leading edge to give the lower unit a streamline shape at trim angles approaching a full trim up position of the lower unit. The leading edge of the strut also slopes rearward away from the front nose of the nacelle. The shape of this junction between the upper side of the nacelle and the strut front end gives the front end of the lower unit a generally constant streamline shape as the lower unit rotates through a range of trim angle positions.

This thyristor starter includes a control angle operation portion including a function or a table showing relation between a rotation speed of a synchronous machine and a phase control angle of an inverter and finding a phase control angle having a value in accordance with the rotation speed of the synchronous machine found by a speed operation portion. The phase control angle varies from a minimum value to a maximum value in accordance with the rotation speed of the synchronous machine, and a rate of increase in phase control angle relative to the rotation speed of the synchronous machine is varied in a plurality of steps in accordance with the rotation speed of the synchronous machine.

When determining a direction in which pixels highly correlated with a defective pixel exist, it is determined whether the direction is the horizontal or vertical direction or the oblique direction from signal values of peripheral pixels of the same color as the defective pixel. On the other hand, one of the vertical direction and the horizontal direction and one of a plurality of predetermined oblique directions are determined from signal values of peripheral pixels of different colors from the defective pixel, and one direction is selected as the final direction determination result according to a determination result obtained by using pixels of the same color.

Whether or not a pixel output signal corresponding to a previously stored blinking defective pixel address is an abnormal value is detected. Then, when a signal value indicating a defective pixel is being output, the output signal is corrected. Deterioration of a taken image caused by excessively correcting a blinking defective pixel can be prevented from occurring.

The apparatus includes: specification means for specifying a first range; range presentation means for presenting a state of distribution of contents within the first range, and presenting the state of the distribution of the contents within a second range; and narrowing-down axis presentation means for selecting, and presenting the narrowing-down axis candidate or candidates to the user.
摘要:
An outboard drive is equipped with a water inlet located on a lower casing of the outboard drive. The lower casing includes a nacelle that houses a transmission and a propulsion shaft that are coupled to an engine through a drive train. The propulsion shaft rotates about a longitudinal axis that is aligned with a centerline of the nacelle. The water inlet is located on a front, cone-shaped nose of the nacelle, forward of the transmission and above the longitudinal axis of the of the propulsion shaft. The water inlet communicates with a water passage that guides cooling water to a water pump. The water passage is located in front of the transmission in order to increase the size of the water passage over prior water cooling systems of outboard drives.

A transmission arrangement reduces internal stresses and friction within a coupling that links a shift operator with a counter-rotating clutch element of a dual clutch assembly. The shift operator, which interconnects the dual clutches, includes a gap in the connection between the clutches to interject a small degree of play between the clutch elements. The resulting clearance compensates for any adverse tolerance stack-ups which otherwise would produce significant friction between the coupling and the counter-rotating clutch element. The degree of play within the assembly, however, is not so large as to affect the smoothness of the transmission when shifting.

An improved water pickup arrangement for a marine propulsion device for picking up cooling water for the propelling, water-cooled internal combustion engine. The lower unit has a bullet-shaped portion and the water inlet openings are formed at the forward and upper ends of this portion.
摘要:
A transmission system for a counter-rotational propulsion device is easily incorporated into an existing outboard drive of a watercraft to convert the outboard drive from a single propeller drive to a counter-rotational dual propeller system. The transmission system involves a first transmission which selectively couples an inner propulsion shaft with an existing drive shaft of the outboard drive. The inner propulsion shaft in turn drives a rear propeller. A second transmission of the transmission system is provided between the inner propulsion shaft and an outer propulsion shaft. The second transmission reverses the rotational drive direction input by the inner propulsion shaft so as to drive the outer propulsion shaft in an opposite rotational direction. The outer propulsion shaft drives a front propeller which spins in an opposite direction to that of the rear propeller, but asserts a thrust in the same direction as the rear propeller.

A magnetic recording medium comprising a non-magnetic support, a magnetic recording layer formed on one side of the support, and a back coat layer formed on the other side. The back coat layer is formed of a composition which comprises a dispersion, in a resin binder, of carbon black having a pH of 2.0 to 8.5 and a coloring power not less than 90 as determined by the ASTM method. The dispersion may further comprise a specific type of aliphatic acid-modified, fluorinated organosilicone in order to improve the travellability and durability of the medium.
