The friction device comprises a friction material containing silicon carbide, and a mate material in which a cermet layer containing tungsten carbide is formed in a sliding surface of the mate material.

Abstract: A cable holder is deposited and fixed on an inner wall of a sewage pipe made of resin and supports an optical fiber for communication, which is passed through the pipe. The cable holder has a longitudinal section similar to that of an inverted pot and a narrowed inlet opening, and is provided with a pair of claws arranged in the axial direction of a pipe at its upper part. A cable holder driving device is raised in a state where the cable holder is heated and a pair of claws are pressure-fitted into the inner wall of the pipe. The pressure-fitting is carried out to such a degree that the cable fitted to and supported by the cable holder is brought into contact with the inner wall of the pipe. After the cable holder is cooled down and fixed, the cable passed through the pipe is pushed in the cable holder through its inlet opening.

Abstract: The cable holder is deposited and fixed on the ceiling part of a sewage pipe made of resin and supports an optical fiber for communication, which is passed through the pipe. The cable holder has a longitudinal section similar to that of an inverted pot and a narrowed inlet opening, and is provided with a pair of claws arranged toward the axial direction of a pipe at its upper part. A cable holder driving device is raised in a state where the cable holder is heated, wherein a pair of claws are pressure-fitted into the ceiling part of the pipe. The pressure-fitting is carried out to such a degree that the cable fitted to and supported by the cable holder is brought into contact with the inner wall of the pipe. After the cable holder is cooled down and fixed, the cable passed through the pipe is pushed in the cable holder through the inlet opening.

Abstract: A detecting apparatus for detecting a frictional coefficient of the road surface on which an automotive vehicle travels. In the detection apparatus, a plurality of condition amounts related to at least one of the vehicle in braking operation, turning operation and a weather condition during travel of the vehicle are detected. Fuzzy inference is carried out on the detected conditional amounts to determine the compatibility of road surface frictional coefficients corresponding with the detected condition amounts. The fuzzy inference outputs are used to calculate a road surface frictional coefficient.
