20090139369BICYCLE PEDAL - A bicycle pedal is provided with a pedal body having a front cleat retainer and a rear cleat retainer. The rear cleat retainer is pivotally coupled to the pedal body about a rear pivot axis. The front cleat retainer has a forward cleat stopping point facing towards the rear end of the pedal body. The rear cleat retainer has a rear cleat step-in point facing away from the pedal body. The forward and rear cleat stopping points and the rear pivot axis define a triangle with a first side interconnecting the forward and rear cleat stopping points, a second side interconnecting the rear cleat step-in point and the rear pivot axis, and a third side interconnecting the forward cleat stopping point and the rear pivot axis, with an interior angle of ninety degrees or less between the first and second sides of the triangle.06-04-2009
20110083530BICYCLE PEDAL - A bicycle pedal has a pedal spindle, a pedal body and a step-in cleat engagement structure. The pedal body includes a tubular mounting portion rotatably mounted on the pedal spindle. The tubular mounting portion includes a center tube section that has a widthwise dimension and a lengthwise dimension as measured from the center spindle axis to an outside surface of the center tube section along reference planes that are substantially perpendicular to each other. The widthwise dimension is substantially perpendicular to a cleat pedaling force direction applied to the pedal spindle, as viewed along in a direction of the center spindle axis. The outside surface of the center tube section has an overall transverse cross sectional shape that includes a generally convex arc that extends a majority of the outside surface of the center tube section on a side of the reference plane that faces the cleat engagement structure.04-14-2011

20100068673LASER PROCESSING DEVICE AND ITS PROCESSING METHOD - A laser processing apparatus 03-18-2010
20100259728OPTICAL COMBINER AND IMAGE PROJECTOR USING THE OPTICAL COMBINER - An optical combiner in which fewer parts are used comprises an optical component and a plastic body. The component comprises: a first filter reflecting first light having a first wavelength and being transparent to second light having a second wavelength and third light having a third wavelength; a second filter reflecting second light and being transparent to third light; and a base transparent to second light and third light. The first filter and the second filter are provided on opposed surfaces of the base. The plastic body has first, second, and third surfaces, and the first surface provides first, second, and third lenses. The component is provided in the plastic body such that light from the first lens is connected to a path to the second surface through the first filter and light from the second lens is connected to the path through the second filter. The third surface is a reflecting surface for connecting light from the third lens to the path.10-14-2010
20100259729OPTICAL COMBINER AND IMAGE PROJECTOR USING THE OPTICAL COMBINER - An optical combiner in which the number of parts used is lessened is made of a resin. The optical component comprises a first surface, a diffraction grating, and a second surface. The first surface is a surface providing first, second, and third lenses. The diffraction grating diffracts to a common optical path leading to the second surface light of the first wavelength incident on the first lens, light of the second wavelength incident on the second lens, and light of the third wavelength incident on the third lens. The second surface emits light incident thereon through the common optical path. The optical path from the first surface to the diffraction grating and the common optical path are constituted of the resin.10-14-2010

20100244440HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PIPE CONSTRUCTION FOR AN INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE - A high pressure fuel pipe construction for an internal combustion engine, such as a direct injection engine. A conduit for the fuel is open at each end and a ball having a throughbore is slidably positioned over one end of the conduit. A reinforcing sleeve is positioned inside the end of the conduit so that the sleeve extends entirely through the ball. The sleeve, ball and the end of the conduit are then brazed together to attach the ball and conduit together. A double chamfer is provided at one end of the ball throughbore to facilitate inspection of the brazing quality. Additionally, a loop is formed in the conduit and a dampener is attached to the loop.09-30-2010
