Abstract: To provide a temperature measuring apparatus making it possible to automatically calculate a correction multiplier by assuming the data measured by a contact-type thermometer as a true value and always accurately measure temperature by the noncontact method in accordance with the correction multiplier. The temperature measuring apparatus comprises noncontact- and contact-type thermometers for measuring the temperature of a temperature measurement object, arithmetic means for calculating a correction multiplier for correcting an error of data measured by the noncontact-type thermometer in accordance with the data measured by the noncontact-type thermometer and a value measured by the contact-type thermometer and moreover calculating a correction value by correcting the data measured by the noncontact-type thermometer in accordance with the correction multiplier, and display means for displaying the measured value and the correction value.

Abstract: A suspension control system for automotive vehicles automatically adjusts the damping strength of variable shock absorbers or other dampers in accordance with road surface conditions as recognized by frequency analysis of a vehicle height or vibration sensor signal. The sensor signal reflects vertical displacement of the vehicle body from the road surface and includes high-frequency components due solely to displacement of the wheels of unsprung mass relative to the road surface and low-frequency components due to displacement of the vehicle body or sprung mass. The sensor signal is filtered into these separate frequency bands, the amplitude of each of which is compared to a corresponding reference level.
