Abstract: A fluorocopolymer with which the frequency of molding faults in electric wire covering molding can be reduced and which can give electric wires improved in crack resistance. The fluorocopolymer includes a tetrafluoroethylene-derived constituent unit as essential unit, and hexafluoropropylene-derived constituent unit and/or perfluoro(alkyl vinyl ether)-derived constituent unit. When the fluorocopolymer is molded into a film, the film has not more than 10000 fisheyes capable of enclosing a square with a side length of 44 ?m and incapable of enclosing a square with a side length of 178 ?m per 100 g and not more than 1000 fisheyes capable of enclosing a square with a side length of 178 ?m per 100 g.

Abstract: The soil modifier includes a porous material obtained by dry distillation of refuse-derived fuel to pioneer a cheap way for effectively utilizing the refuse, thereby enabling the environment to be improved by modification of soil while promoting environment preserving disposal of the refuse. The porous material includes carbon, nitrogen, sulfur, phosphorus, potassium, and zinc.

Abstract: This application provides an invention of a molded product comprising a carbonaceous material having a carbon content of 30 to 70 mass % obtained by dry distillation of solidified refuse fuels and a binder. Since the molded product can be utilized as an environment cleaning material such as for foul water cleaning as it is or after processing, it can provide a stage of effectively utilizing refuses and promote consumption thereof.

Abstract: A forklift, in which, if a synchronous mode change-over switch is depressed, a forward/backward moving lever is switched over to the backward moving side, and a throttle pedal is stepped down, then a pusher is moved forward by a pusher cylinder in synchronization with the backward movement of the vehicle body of the forklift to thereby push out baggage carried on a fork therefrom. An oil pressure circuit connects together a pusher cylinder and an oil pressure pump. A hand-operated switch valve 21 is disposed in the oil pressure circuit. A valve full-open switch 22 opposes a projection portion 25 provided on and projected from a pusher lever 12 which is used to switch the state of the hand-operated switch valve 21. When the pusher lever 12 fully opens the hand-operated switch valve 21, the projection portion 25 contacts with the valve full-open switch 22 to thereby allow the valve full-open switch 22 to issue a detect signal to a control part of the forklift.

Abstract: An apparatus for applying a high temperature refractory material to the wall surface of a coking chamber in a coke battery is equipped with: a moving carriage which is provided on the side of a coke pushing machine of the coking chamber and which is free to move back and forth outside the coke battery in the direction of the length of the coking chamber; a horizontal lance which has a trailing end attached to the moving carriage and which is free to move back and forth horizontally from one end to the other end in the direction of the length at the bottom of the coking chamber; a vertical lance which is provided in the direction of the height of the coking chamber at the leading end of the horizontal lance; and spray nozzles for applying a high temperature refractory material which are arranged in tiers in such a manner that they are directed to the wall surface of the coking chamber in the direction of the height of the vertical lance.

Abstract: A surface-treating agent for a high-temperature refractory material, essentially consisting of 35.0 to 50.0 wt % of sodium silicate, 1.0 to 10.0 wt % of lithium compound, 1.0 to 10.0 wt % of alkali borate, 1 to 10.0 wt % of an organic silicone compound represented by the formula, R--Si(OH).sub.2 Na, wherein R stands for an alkyl group of 1 to 12 carbon atoms, and water and having a viscosity of not more than 100 cps at 20.degree. C., and a method for the surface treatment of a high-temperature refractory material, essentially consisting of rapidly spraying the treating agent mentioned above onto the surface of the refractory material when it is at a temperature in the range of 500.degree. to 1200.degree. C., thereby forming a layer of the treating agent in a molten state, and retaining the layer at a temperature of at least 1100.degree. C.

Abstract: A wiper system for wiping a windshield of an automotive vehicle. The wiper system is comprised of a wiper arm to which a wiper blade is movably fixed. The wiper arm is driven by a wiper motor through a link mechanism so as to move the wiper blade in such a manner that the moving speed of the wiper blade is accelerated at an initial period and decelerated at the remaining period in a stroke of wiper blade movement. The degree of deceleration is reduced in the course of the remaining period, thereby omitting troublesome or bothersome feeing of a driver seated in the vehicle.

Abstract: A non-electrification polymeric composite material composed of a tetrafluoroethylene/fluoro(alkyl vinyl ether) copolymer containing 4% by weight or more fluoro(alkyl vinyl ether) and an electrically conductive material.This non-electrification polymeric composite material is suitably used in a holder for holding a semiconductor substrate, or the like.

Abstract: A digital display measuring system includes a movable and stationary members between which an object to be measured is located, these members respectively supporting transmitter and receiver electrodes which define a variable capacitor having its electrostatic capacity which is adapted to change as the movable member is displaced relative to the stationary member. The change of electrostatic capacity is detected and converted into an electrical signal which is digitally indicated on a display to show the mechanical displacement of the movable member.

Abstract: An ON-OFF switch device is mounted in an emergency spare tire container and assumes its ON-condition when the tire is absent from the container. A warning device is electrically actuated by the switch in such a mannner that when the switch assumes the ON-condition due to absence of the tire from the container, the warning device gives a warning.
