Abstract: An input detection method by a device to be worn on an arm by a band is disclosed. Output information of an acceleration sensor included in the device is acquired. The change to be an input is determined based on the output information, upon detecting a change corresponding to restraining by the band. The change represents a vibration caused by an impact applied to the device, the vibration alternately repeating a first motion and a second motion. The first motion is a motion in which the device moves in a direction of the impact. The second motion is a motion in which the device is pulled back in an opposite direction to the direction due to the restraining by the band.

Abstract: Re-distribution servers are installed at the branch points of a network for distributing streaming data, and route costs between two re-distribution servers are collected. Then, a distribution route tree from a source to a plurality of clients is automatically generated based on the cost information.

Abstract: A system of the present invention is structured based on a connection between an information distributing unit that processes distributed contents information and a client unit of a user via a network such that they can communicate with each other. The contents information selected based on profile information of the user is transmitted from the information distributing unit to the client unit. The system makes the user input evaluation information relating to the evaluation of the transmitted contents information. The contents information to be distributed to the user is changed based on the input evaluation information.

Abstract: A method of controlling a traction of a vehicle, comprising the steps of reading a value determining a throttle opening and closing speed from a first throttle control map from which said throttle opening and closing speed are determined on the basis of a difference in speed between a driving and non-driving wheel speeds and of an acceleration of the driving wheel, and converting said value to an actual throttle opening and closing speed with a conversion rate corresponding to an acceleration of the non-driving wheel thereby controlling the throttle of the vehicle.

Abstract: In a traction control system for motor vehicles, a lower limit for throttle opening degree command with respect to each gear position of transmission is set up, and when the transmission is shifted up, the throttle opening degree command is decreased down to the lower limit for throttle opening degree command corresponding to the gear position assumed through the shift-up operation.

Abstract: A vehicle driving force controlling apparatus provided with a non-driving wheel speed detector, a driving wheel speed detector, an accelerator pedal opening degree detector, and a controller for supplying a throttle instruction signal to the throttle valve on the basis of outputs of the non-driving and driving wheel detectors, and the controller varies a lowest limit of the throttle instruction signal according to an output of the accelerator pedal opening degree detector.

Abstract: A traction control method/apparatus for motor vehicles is arranged such that at an initial stage of the starting or accelerating operation of the motor vehicle where a large amount of slip of the driving wheel tends to be caused, a braking force is sufficiently applied to the driving wheel to restrain the slip thereof; and after the engine output is adjusted through accelerator or throttle control which is performed simultaneously with the application of the braking force, the procedure for controlling the brake hydraulic pressure is changed to eliminate the difference between the lefthand and righthand driving wheel speeds.

Abstract: Herein disclosed is a method of processing a malfunction of an accelerator pedal sensor of an automobile. An output voltage is outputted according to changes in a resistance depending upon depression of an accelerator pedal. A malfunction of the accelerator pedal sensor is shot to process and determine an acceleration value for controlling the run of the automobile in accordance with said output voltage. The acceleration value is set at a predetermined value in accordance with the malfunction of either of an idle switch for generating a signal indicating the idle position of the accelerator pedal and a wide-open switch for generating a signal indicating the wide open position of the accelerator pedal when the malfunction of the accelerator pedal sensor is judged. This judgement is conducted by detecting a plurality of times that said output voltage is outside of the predetermined voltage range.

Abstract: Herein disclosed is a revolution signal processing system for an electronic controller to ensure safe operation of a vehicle having an automatic transmission. The system includes: an input shaft revolution sensor for outputting an input shaft r.p.m. signal; a vehicle speed sensor for outputting a vehicle speed signal; signal processors for determining the r.p.m.'s of the two sensors in response to the two output signals of the same; a gear position sensor for outputting a gear position signal; a gear position detector for detecting the gear position of the automatic transmission; and a self-testing backup. When the gear position detector detects that the transmission is in a gear position other than the neutral position, and if one of the output signals of the two sensors exhibits an r.p.m. equal to or higher than a predetermined value, whereas the other of the same exhibits an abnormally lower value or an r.p.m.

Abstract: An automatic clutch control system and method for controlling a clutch for an automatic transmission when a clutch stroke sensor fails. The apparatus includes a clutch actuator for controlling a clutch stroke, a plurality of solenoid valves for controlling the clutch actuator, a clutch stroke sensor for measuring the clutch stroke, a control unit for feeding back a stroke signal detected by the clutch stroke sensor when requests for clutch engagement or disengagement are received and for controlling the solenoid valves so as to obtain a clutch moving speed defined by an engine rotational speed and other driving conditions. The control unit further includes a clutch engagement control section and a clutch disengagement control section for controlling solenoid valves for operating the clutch independently of the stroke signal when the stroke sensor fails.
