Abstract: A remote controller controlling a television set as a main video apparatus and a video cassette recorder and a DVD player as sub video apparatuses. The remote controller includes a remote-control transmitter including an input terminal selection key for selecting one of sub video apparatuses connected to the main video apparatus. When a signal from one of the sub video signals is selected, the remote controller generates a remote control code signal compatible with the sub video apparatus selected in response to an operation of an operation key of the remote-control transmitter so that an infrared blaster operates the sub video apparatus.

Abstract: A jaw crusher with a pass-through preventing device which prevents a flat plate-shaped object from passing through without being crushed. Also disclosed is a jaw crusher with a tooth plate structure which is capable of effectively crushing a non-rigid object, for example, a lump of asphalt, without causing such an object to stick to the area between a cheek plate and a fixed tooth plate or a movable tooth plate. The jaw crusher comprises a plurality of forks which are provided at the lower end of a crushing space to prevent a plate-shaped object from passing through the crushing space without being crushed, and a fork shaft which is provided with one end of each fork and which is rotatably provided on the crusher body. The movable tooth plate is provided with cutting projections. A plate-shaped object is first broken by the cutting projections and then crushed by intermediate projections.

Abstract: A resinous composition for friction materials, especially for non-asbestos type friction materials is disclosed. The composition is composed of a phenolic resin modified by the reaction product of an acrylonitrile-butadiene liquid rubber with an epoxy resin, and further modification with a triazine resin. This composition when blended with non-asbestos fibers, such as fiberglass, etc., retains the flexibility desired, provides excellent friction characteristics and a reduced wear rate.

Abstract: A friction material useful in automobile brakes and the like, comprises as a reinforcing agent steel wool coated with a thermosetting resin such as a phenolic resole resin.
