Abstract: A vehicle control unit controls a vehicle having a device capable of controlling deceleration, such as a continuously variable transmission. An information detection device is capable of determining a relationship between the instant vehicle and a preceding vehicle running in front of the instant vehicle, for example, a headway distance and a relative speed therebetween. Based on the information derived from the detection device, the vehicle correlation is determined and compared with a predetermined target correlation. Then, deceleration of the instant vehicle is set by a deceleration setting device such that the determined correlation reaches the predetermined target correlation. The device for performing deceleration is controlled based on the deceleration that has been set.

Abstract: A method of mounting electronic parts on a circuit board comprises an adhesive layer formation step of forming, on an electrode surface of each electronic part on which electrodes are formed, a film-like thermosetting adhesive layer having an area substantially equal to that of the corresponding electrode surface so as to obtain adhesive-coated electronic parts. The electrodes on which the adhesive layer is formed are arranged so as to face corresponding electrodes of the circuit board, and the electrodes are positioned relative to each other. Heat and pressure are applied to the electrodes of the electronic parts and the electrodes of the circuit board to fix the electrodes to each other after the electrodes are positioned. Almost no adhesive superfluously comes out of the electrode surfaces. Accordingly, when mounting the electronic parts on the circuit board, it is unnecessary to remove superfluous adhesive, unlike conventional process, whereby the efficiency is improved and also the cost can be cut down.
