Abstract: The work-piece-processing machine of the present invention is compact and has two tools for precisely processing a work-piece. In the work-piece-processing machine, the work-piece is processed by a first tool and a second tool. Diameter of the second tool is shorter than that of the first tool. A first motor rotates the first tool. A second motor rotates the second tool. The first motor and the second motor are attached to a rotatable member. A rotating unit rotates the rotatable member in a vertical plane.

Abstract: A shift control apparatus for a transmission coupled to a power source via a clutch includes an electronic control unit for delivering a shift command giving instructions for a gear shifting, and a gear shift unit for performing the gear shifting in response to the shift command. The electronic control unit delivers, in association with the shift command, a first clutch stroke command varying between off-clutch and an on-clutch positions. The shift control apparatus includes a hydraulic master cylinder producing a hydraulic pressure which serves as a second clutch stroke command and which varies in accordance with the operational position of a clutch pedal, and an air cylinder unit with a hydraulic cylinder section for switching the clutch between the off-clutch and on-clutch positions. The air cylinder unit operates in accordance with one of the first and second clutch stroke commands which represents a target clutch plate position closer to the off-clutch state.

Abstract: The present invention provides a stabilized polyolefin resin composition having improved resistances to oxidation and to weather which is prepared by adding (a) a phenol antioxidant, (b) a sulfur antioxidant, (c) a hindered amine light stabilizer and (d) an aliphatic monocarboxylate of a metal belonging to the group Ia or IIb to a polyolefin resin containing an inorganic filler.
