Abstract: The present invention provides a target recognizing element wherein a receptor is fixed to an inclusion complex containing a mediator. The target recognizing element includes a first host molecule having hydrophilic groups and an inclusion site, a second host molecule having hydrophilic groups and an inclusion site, a receptor which is bonded to the hydrophilic groups of the second host molecule and which reacts with the target, and a guest molecule which is included by the inclusion site of the first host molecule and the inclusion site of the second host molecule and which transfers an electric charge generated by the reaction between the target and the receptor.

Abstract: A control system for a vehicular automatic transmission includes a speed change mechanism including an output element that is connected to the drive shaft of a vehicle to transmit power, and a rotary element connected to the output element. A control system for the speed change mechanism is also provided. The control system includes a hydraulic servo actuated brake for retaining the rotary element to check the rotation of the output element in a vehicle roll back direction. The brake includes a band brake that establishes different application forces depending on whether the brake operates by a self-energizing action or a de-energizing action according to the rotational direction of the rotary element.
