Abstract: Performance data of components of a construction machine is measured by the steps of automatically operating the component mounted to the construction machine so as to satisfy one of a plurality of measurement conditions which are preliminarily set, automatically measuring performance data of the component which is preliminarily set under the above automatically operated state, and successively performing the same steps as those defined above with respect to remaining measurement conditions other than the above-mentioned one measurement condition, thus measuring the performance data of the component with one or more than one measurement conditions.

Abstract: A vehicle-lamp assembly apparatus having: a lower jig (120) for supporting a workpiece (300), a jig support table (10) on which the lower jig (120) is positioned and mounted, and an upper jig (110) incorporating the lower jig (120) as a jig (100) by vertically engaging therewith, supporting any other workpiece (200) when necessary and including electric equipment (530) and (540) which functions to perform predetermined processes to the workpiece. The apparatus also includes an upper jig support plate (24) for supporting the upper jig (110) incorporated via a coupling mechanism (27) in a suspended condition, and an elevator mechanism (22) for moving up and down the upper jig support plate (24) with respect to the jig support table (10). First and second connector portions (510 and 520) are automatically joined together and separated from each other without making the worker do so by hand and this eliminates the possibility of connecting the connector portions improperly.

Abstract: An object is to provide a steering system for a tracklaying vehicle which is capable of preventing overrun of a motor during a pivot turn irrespective of the load of the road surface and does not cause a shortage of power during a turn. The steering system is comprised of a pair of brakes for right and left output shafts and designed to transmit the driving force of a hydraulic motor to the output shafts through a planetary gear mechanism. A transmission of a driving force from the hydraulic motor to the planetary gear mechanism is interrupted after concurrently carrying out actuation of a brake for either one of the right and left output shafts and a transmission of a driving force from the hydraulic motor to the planetary gear mechanism for a specified period of time, when the vehicle carries out a pivot turn. During a pivot turn of the vehicle, the engine is controlled such that a vehicle body speed obtained by a bevel shaft rotational speed detector becomes equal to a specified value.

A display panel section for displaying various pieces of information on a work vehicle has a message display section which is switchable among a normal mode for displaying the normal operating condition of the work vehicle; a user mode for displaying, by switching, a plurality of functions selectable by an operator who operates the work vehicle; and a service mode for displaying, by switching, a plurality of functions selectable by an adjuster who is in charge of adjustment operation for the work vehicle.

Abstract: A steering method and steering system which enable a minimum turn radius more than the discharge capacities of a hydraulic motor and a hydraulic pump and which positively prevent the unstable traveling and turning behavior of a vehicle when the vehicle makes a pivot turn. The vehicle is provided with a pair of brakes for right and left output shafts and designed to transmit the driving force of the hydraulic motor to the output shafts through planetary gear mechanisms. During a pivot turn of the vehicle, an operation of the brake of either one of the right and left output shafts and a transmission of a driving force from the hydraulic motor to a planetary gear mechanism are simultaneously carried out for a specified period of time and thereafter, the transmission of the driving force from the hydraulic motor to the planetary gear mechanism is interrupted.

Abstract: A single-application polyimidosiloxane coating material comprising a uniformly mixed solution composition of a polyimidosiloxane with an epoxy resin-reactive group in the molecule, an epoxy resin and a fine inorganic filler in a solvent. The coating material has satisfactory storage stability and printing properties, and its cured films also have satisfactory properties and allow single-application printing.

Abstract: The present fishing rod comprises a pair of hood portions (14, 16) which are respectively disposed back and forth in such a manner that they are opposed to each other, while the two hood portions (14, 16) respectively include openings for receiving the leg of the reel. At least one of the pair of hood portions, that is, the hood portion (16) is of a movable type, while the movable hood portion (16) can be moved back and forth as a nut member (18) is rotated.
