  • Publication number: 20080066718
    Abstract: When a throttle is fully open, a maximum torque set value is corrected based on the ratio between the maximum air volume set value under fully-open throttle conditions and the actual maximum air volume detected by an intake air volume meter such as an air flow sensor. Based on the corrected maximum torque set value, both the relation between the degree of accelerator opening and target torque and the relation between the target torque (target air volume) and the degree target throttle opening are corrected.

  • Publication number: 20080052015
    Abstract: A test apparatus compares bits included in a data sequence read from a DUT with expectation values. Comparison results are stored in a first failure memory (FM) as bit information indicating whether storage cells of the DUT are non-defective. The storage device counts the number of bits not matching the expectation values for each page, and judges for each grade/page of the DUT whether the number of bits not matching the expectation values meets the condition of that grade. Judgment results are stored in a second FM as page information indicating whether each page is non-defective for each grade. If page information of a page including a bit corresponding to a storage cell indicating that this page meets the condition of any grade is stored in the second FM, the apparatus outputs the bit information in the first FM, by changing it to a value indicating that storage cell is as non-defective.
