Abstract: A system and method for controlling a vehicular power transmission in which, when a signal derived from a vehicle speed sensor is normal, a signal supplied to a first input terminal of the control unit is determined to be the signal of a switch used for an automatic cruise speed control device (ASCD) only when the signal derived from the vehicle speed signal satisfies a predetermined condition, e.g., when the vehicle speed is below a predetermined value. When the signal derived from the vehicle speed sensor does not satisfy the predetermined condition, e.g., when the vehicle speed is above the predetermined value, or when the vehicle speed sensor is abnormal, the signal input to the first supplied terminal of the control unit is determined to be the signal of a switch used for a self diagnostic function. Therefore, if the vehicle speed sensor operates abnormally, the control unit determines that the signal supplied to the first input terminal is derived from the switch used for the self-diagnostic function.

Abstract: The drawing device inserts a warp into a heald hole of a heald and between reed dents of a reed. The device comprises an air guide including an air passage having an entrance and an exit, an air stream generating mechanism operationally connected with the air passage for generating an air stream running from the entrance toward the exit in the air passage, a heald feeding and moving mechanism for feeding one heald just in front of the entrance of the air passage and for arranging the heald so that the heald hold of the heald may be opposite to the entrance, and a warp feeding mechanism for feeding and arranging a warp just in front of the heald hole of the heald arranged just in front of the entrance of the air passage.
