| 20090141509 | LIGHTING APPARATUS FOR MOTORCYCLE - A lighting apparatus has a housing and is disposed at a lower end of a front fork of a motorcycle. The housing includes a front opening disposed on a side of a radiation direction of a lighting body and a side opening disposed on a center side in a width direction of a motorcycle. The side opening in the housing, covered by a lid, is wide enough for the lighting body to pass through. The housing includes a wire guide for withdrawing an electric wire and a drain hole formed in a bottom portion of the housing. The lighting body is fixed on a board. The housing includes rails disposed on an upper wall portion and a lower wall portion thereof, into which an upper end and a lower end of the board are to be fitted so as to position the lighting body in a longitudinal direction. | 06-04-2009 |
| 20090141510 | MOTORCYCLE - A lighting apparatus is mounted to a lower end of a front fork that supports a front wheel via a bearing portion. The lighting apparatus has a housing, an upper surface of which includes a bottom case receiving surface formed thereon. The bottom case receiving surface is shaped so that an outer periphery of a bottom case can fit therein. A rubber sheet is placed between the bottom case and the bottom case receiving surface to offer vibration isolation property. A bolt is screwed into a threaded hole in the bottom case so as to penetrate through a mounting portion having the bottom case receiving surface, so that the lighting apparatus is secured to the bottom case. | 06-04-2009 |
| 20090222182 | SHIFT CONTROL DEVICE OF TRANSMISSION - An ECU is configured to disengage a clutch by driving a motor upon detection of starting of a shift operation, and to engage the clutch upon detection of completion of the shift change. The shift operation starting detection is detected upon determination that an operational force given to a shift pedal is equal to or more than a predetermined operational force, and the shift change completion detection is detected upon determination that a rotational angle of a shift drum from a shift gear position before a shift gear operation becomes equal to or more than a first predetermined angle. The shift operation starting detection is also detected upon determination that the rotational angle of the shift drum from a shift gear position before a shift gear operation is a second predetermined angle or more which is smaller than the first predetermined angle. | 09-03-2009 |

| 20090185052 | INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS AND CONTROL METHOD THEREOF - An information processing apparatus obtains image data included in an image file stored in a storage medium of the digital camera and the updated time of the image file stored in the storage medium of the digital camera, and reads out the shooting time of the image data included in the header of the image file stored in the storage medium of the information processing apparatus. The information processing apparatus displays a first view that displays the image data in an order based on the obtained updated time, and a second view that displays the image data included in the image file stored in the storage medium of the information processing apparatus in an order based on the read out shooting time. | 07-23-2009 |
| 20110028096 | DATA RECEIVING APPARATUS, DATA TRANSMITTING APPARATUS, METHOD FOR CONTROLLING THE SAME AND PROGRAM - The present invention enables a data obtaining apparatus to select data to be transferred without maintaining a communication connection through close-proximity wireless communication. Accordingly, when a digital camera is communicatively connected to an external device through close-proximity wireless communication, a central processor of the digital camera obtains, from the external device, index information indicating a list of data stored in the external device. Next, the central processor terminates the communication connection to the external device and receives a designation of data to be transferred via an operation unit based on the index information. After having designated data to be transferred, an image processing unit of the digital camera obtains designated data from the external device when the camera is communicatively reconnected to the external device through close-proximity wireless communication. | 02-03-2011 |
| 20120070124 | IMAGE CAPTURING APPARATUS, IMAGE CAPTURING METHOD, AND COMPUTER READABLE MEDIUM - To make it possible, when an audio file is reproduced before capturing of a moving image, to prevent the sound from being recorded during capturing. When a short-time moving image capturing mode is set, a through-the-lens image is displayed and an audio file is reproduced. When a first shutter switch is pressed while the audio file is reproduced, the audio file stops being reproduced and automatic focus control is performed. Alternatively, the audio file starts being reproduced when the first shutter switch is pressed. The audio file stops being reproduced when a second shutter switch is pressed. | 03-22-2012 |
