Abstract: Damping control, by which an engine is controlled to output torque for reducing up-and-down vibrations such as pitching and bouncing of a vehicle, is performed. When the damping control is interrupted, the behavior of engine torque after the damping control is interrupted is predicted. Shift of an automatic transmission is controlled in accordance with the predicted behavior of the engine torque.

Abstract: A stopper 1 is fixedly mounted on and projects from an outer surface of that portion of a side frame 7 disposed in the vicinity of a front wheel 14. A reinforcement 2 is mounted on an inner surface of that portion of the side frame 7, on which the stopper 1 is mounted, thereby reinforcing the stopper 1. At the time of a collision of a vehicle, a rear side 17 of an outer periphery of the front wheel 14 strikes against the stopper 1, and also the movement of the stopper 1 is prevented by the reinforcement 2, thereby limiting the movement of the front wheel 14. Therefore, the deformation of the side frame 7 and so on toward the vehicle frame is reduced.

Abstract: An electronic control system for an automatic transmission has an electronic control unit including a CPU and a memory. The control program is programmed based on an object-oriented programming. An object such as a domain control unit or individual control parts are provided for driving a corresponding linear solenoid valve. A shift request output unit determines types of required shift and outputs a shift request message including the shift type. The domain control unit determines a method to be executed in response to the shift type ID. Preferably, the shift request output unit further determines whether the shift is a single shift or a multiple shift and whether the shift is a normal shift or a special shift. These determination results are also included in the shift request message, so that the domain control unit varies the method to control the linear solenoid valves.

Abstract: A serial printer apparatus comprises a print heat for printing on a medium according to a received character signal, a carrier on which the print head is provided and which runs the print head over an unprintable region and a printable region, and a control circuit for monitoring the running speed of the carrier and controlling the speed of the carrier by accelerating or decelerating the carrier while suppressing the amount of fluctuation of the speed at least in the printable region.

Abstract: A serial printer includes a printing unit for carrying a print head, a DC power unit for generating a DC drive voltage to drive a carriage motor of the printing unit, and a control unit for performing an initializing operation. In this initializing operation, the print head is moved in reciprocal directions when the initialization request signal from the host apparatus is received by the printer, but only after the elapse of a waiting time corresponding to an attenuating period of the DC voltage. This control sequence avoids the performance of an initializing operation by the printer when the initialization request signal has been issued by the host apparatus as the DC voltage is attenuating, such as when power is being shut off, so that the printer would remain engaged for an insufficient time to complete the initializing operation.

Abstract: A movable plate (7) of a paper lateral ends positioning mechanism (5) is located on the side of a home position (HP), and a fixed plate (6) of the paper lateral ends positioning mechanism (5) is located on the other side opposite to the home position (HP) side. A paper width detecting device (10) is so designed as to detect a width (W1, W2) of a printing paper (P) by subtracting from a known distance (C1) a quantity of movement (X) of a carrier (3) from the home position (HP) at the time when a lateral end of the printing paper (P) on the home position (HP) side is detected by a paper lateral end sensor (11).

Abstract: When a specified head energizing pulse interval involves a decimal fraction, the fraction is accumulated at every printing, and when the cumulative value of the fraction is smaller than one pulse, a printing head is driven at a pulse interval of an integer part obtained by subtracting the fraction, and when the cumulative value of the fraction has reached one pulse, the printing head is driven at a pulse interval of an integer obtained by adding one pulse to the above head energizing pulse interval.

Abstract: A paper feed control apparatus for a dot printer is provided which supplies a step pulse to a stepping motor in a one-pitch feed mode at an interval of a reference time to intermittently rotate the stepping motor in increments of a step angle, and which also supplies a step pulse to the stepping motor in a multi-pitch feed mode at an interval of a time shorter than the reference time to continuously rotate the stepping motor over a plurality of step angles. A motor drive control circuit is adapted to supply a step pulse to the stepping motor in the multi-pitch feed mode at a gradually shorted time interval, and to supply a final step pulse to the stepping motor in a final portion of a driving cycle when the reference time passes after the generation of the step pulse.
