A system and method in a building or vehicle for an actuator operation in response to a sensor according to a control logic, the system comprising a router or a gateway communicating with a device associated with the sensor and a device associated with the actuator over in-building or in-vehicle networks, and an external Internet-connected control server associated with the control logic implementing a PID closed linear control loop and communicating with the router over external network for controlling the in-building or in-vehicle phenomenon. The sensor may be a microphone or a camera, and the system may include voice or image processing as part of the control logic. A redundancy is used by using multiple sensors or actuators, or by using multiple data paths over the building or vehicle internal or external communication. The networks may be wired or wireless, and may be BAN, PAN, LAN, WAN, or home networks.

A high performance synchronous transmission to be used aboard a motorcycle for transmitting the motion generated by an engine to a driving wheel, between a crankshaft and a hub shaft parallel therebetween and perpendicular to the median plane of the motorcycle, comprising on the crankshaft a centrifugal clutch, for the automatic engagement of the first speed above a predetermined rotation regime, and a driving pulley apt to transmit the motion through a subsequent kinematic chain, is provided with a coupling between crankshaft and driving pulley which connects them directly, by determining with its own engagement the exclusion of said centrifugal clutch, said coupling being controlled in disengagement when a control lever is in active position.

A synchronous transmission (1) for a motorcycle comprises a primary shaft (51) of mechanical gearbox, and a pair of secondary shafts (52, 53) equipped with one or more secondary gearwheels for transmitting the motion to a hub shaft (75), wherein a desmodromic drum (70) actuates a pair of coupling forks (67, 68) selectively defining the position of respective sliding couplings (65, 66) between primary (51) and secondary shafts (52, 53) to select all speeds of the transmission, the desmodromic drum (70) being in phase with a device (80) for actuating the gearwheels, and wherein the coupling forks (67, 68) are equipped with a cam follower end (69) maneuvered by said desmodromic drum (70) having a cylindrical surface (79) whereon a single desmodromic track (19) is formed.

A cooling system of an internal combustion engine of a motorcycle, which has a suction side guard (4), enables a high ratio between the open surface of the guard and its overall surface, ensuring an improved penetration of the air through the radiator and thus avoiding oversizing of the suction fan, wherein: said guard (4), having a lower edge (6), an upper edge (7), a front edge (8) and a rear edge (9) with respect to a running direction (F) of the vehicle, has a grate mesh structure extending on a plane whereby a deviation space (12) of motion of the air sucked by the fan is defined behind the guard (4); said grate mesh structure being surrounded by a rib (13) having, at the front edge (8), a lower height than that at the rear edge (9).

A battery housing apparatus including a housing portion forming a housing space in which a battery is removably housed, a holding portion configured to hold the battery, and an openable cover portion closing the housing space. The housing portion includes a support portion rotatably supporting the holding portion about a rotational axis so that the battery is movable between a housed position and a non-housed position in the housing space.

A battery attachment/detachment structure for a saddle-ride type electric vehicle includes substantially rectangular parallelepiped batteries for supplying electric power to an electric motorcycle, a battery case in which the batteries are housed, a battery-side terminal provided on the bottom surface of each battery, and a case-side terminal engaged with the battery-side terminal. An operation lever for connecting or separating the battery-side terminal and the case-side terminal to/from each other by being operated in the up-and-down direction of a vehicle body, and a locking member for holding the operation lever at a position where the battery-side terminal and the case-side terminal are connected to each other are provided. The locking member regulates the movement of the operation lever towards the upper side of the vehicle body by engaging with the operation lever. The disclosed structure can regulate the movement of housed batteries to maintain excellent electrical connection with a simple configuration.
