Abstract: An electronic control unit is provided with two types of gear change maps: a first gear change map based on the vehicle speed and the accelerator pedal operation amount; and a second gear change map based on the vehicle speed and the required drive force of the vehicle. The electronic control unit determines whether the automatic transmission should downshift with reference to the first gear change map, and determines whether the automatic transmission should upshift with reference to the second gear change map.

Abstract: First and second input data sequences are packetized to produce packets having fixed first and second lengths, respectively. A flag and headers are attached to the packets for transmission. In a demultiplexing apparatus, when the header cannot be properly identified, subsequent demultiplexing steps are performed by estimating that the subsequent data is the first input data sequence, when the first length occurs before the next flag, and estimating that the subsequent data is the second input data sequence, when the second length occurs. When the flag cannot be properly identified, the flag is expected at the first length from the previous header when the previous header indicates the first input data sequence, and the flag is expected at the second length when the previous header indicates the second input data sequence.

Abstract: A control unit (3) is provided for storing time information of data which are received for the first time by a receiving unit (1) in a memory (3a), and for, every time when the receiving unit (1) detects time information, acquiring the time information from the receiving unit (1), calculating the difference between the acquired time information and the time information of the first received data stored in the memory (3a), and, when the difference reaches a predetermined amount, outputting a command for starting a playback of data to a playback unit (4). The playback unit (4) starts a playback of the data stored in the storage unit (2) when the command for starting a playback of data is outputted from the control unit (3).

Abstract: A connector has conducting pins projecting from a connector body, and fixing pin extending substantially in parallel with the conducting pins. The fixing pins are longer than the conducting pins. The fixing pins are constructed such that they can be inserted in corresponding fixing holes of a printed circuit board when the connector is attached to the printed circuit board. The fixing pins are locked in the fixing holes to secure the electrical connection between the conducting pins and corresponding electrode pads and the mechanical connection between the connector and the printed circuit board.

Abstract: In a multiplexing apparatus, input data sequences of two types a and b are packetized using fixed lengths La and Lb so as to produce packets 3a and 3b, respectively. A flag 1 and headers 2a and 2b indicating a data type of packet are attached to the packets 3a and 3b for transmission. In a demultiplexing apparatus, when the header 2 cannot be properly identified due to a transmission error or the like, subsequent demultiplexing steps are performed by estimating that the subsequent data is the input data sequence a, when the length La occurs before the next flag 1, and estimating that the subsequent data is the input data sequence b, when the length Lb occurs.
