Abstract: A range determination device is applied to an automatic transmission provided with an input portion, an output portion, and a range switching mechanism which transmits rotation of the input portion to the output portion, and which is operative to switch the range of the automatic transmission between a forward range and a reverse range, in which directions of transmitting rotation from the input portion to the output portion are different from each other.

Abstract: A shift position determination portion determines that operation of shifting a shift position from other range than a parking range to the parking range is conducted. A parking lock command portion causes a piston to maintain a state of being mechanically locked at a second position when the shift position is shifted to the parking range. An actuator drive command portion commands an actuator to drive the piston from the second position to a first position in a state where the position of the piston is mechanically locked at the second position. A parking lock failure determination portion determines that the locking mechanism portion is in a failure in an unlocked state when the position of the piston goes out of the second position within a predetermined time after a command is issued.

Abstract: Components for composing an infusion line are classified into unit groups including a spike unit, a main tube unit, an injection device unit, an infusion filter unit, and a one-way valve unit. Plural kinds of units are provided for each unit group, each unit being formed of one or more components. A combination of the unit groups is determined by allowing the spike unit and the main tube unit to be indispensable and selecting at least one of the unit groups from the remaining unit groups. An arrangement of the selected unit groups is determined, with the spike unit being positioned at one end. At least one kind of the units is selected from each of the unit group based on the combination. The selected units are combined, with the end on the distal side relative to the spike unit being composed of a connector used for a connection to a member for access to a patient.

While it is made possible to manually switch between gear-shifting control operation in automatic mode performed according to preset shifting characteristics and manual mode in which gear-shifting operation is manually performed by a driver, priority is given to accomplishment of the first-speed gear the temporary high-speed gear setting means when the automatic transmission is switched to the manual mode while it is set to the aforementioned specific high-speed gear by the aforementioned temporary high-speed gear setting means.

Abstract: An automatic transmission control system provided with a speed sensor for monitoring an input speed to the automatic transmission, on one hand, prohibits gear shifts only to gears which are provided by alternately locking and unlocking two friction coupling elements at a timing determined essentially based on an input speed when an failure of the speed sensor occurs and, on the other hand, permits gear shifts to gears which are provided in participation of the one-way clutch by alternately locking and unlocking the two friction coupling elements, a timely alternate lock and unlock operation of the two friction coupling elements being spontaneously caused by the unlock operation of one of the two friction coupling elements and gear shifts to gears which are provided by locking one of the two friction coupling elements and unlocking the other with common pressure or unlocking one of the two friction coupling elements and locking the other with common pressure.

Abstract: A gear shift failure of an automatic transmission to a wrong gear other than an indented gear is made by estimating slippage theoretically caused in a torque converter on the basis of an engine speed and a turbine speed theoretically determined for an intended gear according to the vehicle speed and comparing the estimating slippage with predetermined reference slippage. When the estimated slippage exceeds the predetermined threshold slippage, it is decided that there has occurred a wrong shift to a gear other than the intended gear.

Abstract: An apparatus for controlling an automatic transmission is disclosed. A 2nd speed is established in which hydraulic pressure is supplied only into an engaging chamber of a 2-4 brake by a first duty solenoid valve so that the brake is applied. A 3rd speed is established in which the hydraulic pressure is supplied into a releasing chamber of the brake and a hydraulic chamber of a 3-4 clutch by a second duty solenoid valve under the condition of the hydraulic pressure being supplied into the engaging chamber of the brake so that the brake is released and the 3-4 clutch is engaged. When the 2nd speed is changed to the 3rd speed, a controller increases the hydraulic pressure supplied into the releasing chamber of the brake and the hydraulic chamber of the 3-4 clutch in a case where a failure, in which the first solenoid valve is fixed under a condition that the first solenoid valve supplies the hydraulic pressure into the engaging chamber, is detected.
