Abstract: A transmission for a vehicle employs parts as few as possible to provide forward 11-speed and reverse 1-speed gear ratios while having a relatively simple configuration, thereby allowing the operational state of an engine connected to the transmission to be in an optimal state. Thus, the transmission makes it possible to improve fuel efficiency and secure smooth driving performance of the vehicle.

Abstract: In a motor control circuit which controls energization of a coil on the basis of a detection result of a rotor position, control is performed so that continuous rotation of the rotor by inertia is suppressed, rotation is stopped quickly, and reverse rotation of the rotor is prevented. When an external control signal CTL is changed from L to H, the normal rotation control is switched to reverse rotation control, and a reverse brake state is effected. When motor rotation speed is monitored and reduced to a set rotation speed, a brake control signal SPSB is changed from L to H, and a short brake state is effected. However, the motor continues to be rotated by its own inertia, and a position detection signal HALL is changed. Thus, reverse brake control is temporarily performed (only during a time period corresponding to a pulse width TRB). The short pulse reverse brake control is intermittently performed until the motor is completely stopped.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method of pretreating a sample containing a glycated amine as an analyte, thereby enabling highly reliable measurement of a glycated amine. A glycated amino acid in the sample is degraded by causing a fructosyl amino acid oxidase (FAOD) to act thereon, and thereafter, a FAOD further is caused to act on the glycated amine as the analyte in the sample to cause a redox reaction. The amount of the glycated amine is determined by measuring the redox reaction. The substrate specificity of the FAOD caused to act on the glycated amino acid may be either the same as or different from that of the FAOD caused to act on the glycated amine. When using the same FAOD, a FAOD is caused to act on the glycated amino acid to degrade it, and thereafter, the sample is treated with a protease to inactivate the FAOD and also to degrade the glycated amine.
