Abstract: In a driving force control apparatus, a target driving torque TO is obtained based on a value determined by subtracting a feedback correction torque TF corresponding to a slip amount DVS from a correction reference torque TBC corresponding to a vehicle body speed VB. Slip is suppressed by a throttle control so that the engine output is reduced to the target driving torque TO. A retard command is output when the slip amount DVS and a slip rate GDVS are greater than predetermined values to retard an ignition timing of the engine, thereby suppressing an abrupt slip. When it is determined that a right and left front wheel speed difference is large and the vehicle is running on a split road, a retard command is made difficult to be reset as compared to a case where the vehicle is not running on a split road. When it is detected that the driving wheels are vibrating, particularly a differential factor is decreased and regulated only to a component to reduce the target driving torque.

Abstract: The document processing system includes a database generation unit for generating predetermined bases from documents and a user-defined search template generation unit for generating a user-defined search template which is used to extract a predetermined set of information from substantially similar documents.

Abstract: If a received signal includes a message signal following the address of the pager concerned, a decoder section decodes the message signal and a control section stores it in a memory section together with a reception time. At this time, the control section judges whether the message signal includes a sender identification code or a consecutive transmission code. If either code exists, the control section stores it in the memory section together with the message. The control section reads message data from the memory section, and a display control section controls a display section to display the message. If the message includes a sender identification code or a continuous transmission code, the control section searches for messages to be displayed together with the current message from among the other messages stored in the memory section, and the display control section controls the display section to display the found messages en bloc.

Abstract: Group identification codes, names of parties to be sent, and telephone numbers of the pagers of the parties to be sent are stored in groups in memory 3 of a selective pager. At the time of transmission of a message, telephone numbers of a specified group and a message to be sent for the group are selected from the memory. The telephone numbers and the message are alternately sent to a DTMF signal generation section 8, which converts the telephone numbers and the message to DTMF signals. The DTMF signals are then converted into acoustic signals by means of a speaker 9 and are continually transmitted by way of a transmitter of a telephone set. As a result, a group call can be implemented without involving laborious operations, such as transmission of the telephone numbers and the message one by one.

Abstract: In a verification data encoding method of the invention, a verification data is provided for each of a plurality of pixels of a digital image, in order for determining whether an alteration to the digital image is effected. The verification data is inserted to each of the plurality of pixels of the digital image such that the verification data is invisible. In an original image verification method and apparatus of the invention, a key information is input and a pseudo-random code is provided by taking the pseudo-random code from a sequence of pseudo-random codes initialized by the key information. A verification data is calculated through a predetermined operation based on a pixel value indicated by a predetermined number of bits of the pixel of concern in an input digital image and based on the pseudo-random code.

Abstract: Messages received through information delivery are classified by a message identification section. The thus-classified messages are stored into a specified folder by means of a folder management section and are managed for each level in a hierarchy. When a new message is stored into the specified folder, a folder setting section causes a paging control section to page the user by means of a speaker, a vibrator, or an LED or causes a display control section to display the arrival of a message on an LCD. So long as the folder is set to a shortcut folder, a desired information item can be read in a prioritized manner.

Abstract: A receiving frame controlling unit 4a for controlling receiving operations of a plurality of frames individually, and a receiving state detecting unit 1b for detecting whether or not a receiving state is in or out of a service area of the base station are provided in a CPU 4, wherein the power saving or conservation can be achieved in the out of the service area status by halting frame receiving operations when the receiving state is out of the service area. Also, according to an error rate of received radio information, or according to a time zone which is set arbitrarily to particular information broadcasting addresses by a user, the power saving or conservation may be achieved by reducing the number of receiving frames. Further, if the receiving state is out of the service area and also the electric field strength is low, the power saving or conservation may be achieved by executing a short-time standby operation to monitor only the electric field state.

Abstract: A pager including a receiving circuit for receiving a transmitted paging signal including a message and address data; a message receiving circuit, having a memory for storing a plurality of sets of assigned address data and messages, for receiving and storing the message from the receiving circuit in the memory when the address data in the paging signal agrees with any of the plurality of sets of assigned address data. The pager further includes a counter for counting the number of times of receiving a message when the address data agrees with specified assigned address data; a comparing circuit responsive to the counting means for comparing the number of times with a reference number; and an alarming circuit for effecting an alarming operation on the basis of the result of the comparing circuit. The alarm to the user is generated when a predetermined number of low priority messages have been received.

Abstract: In a driving force control apparatus, a target driving torque To is obtained based on a value determined by subtracting a feedback correction torque T.sub.F corresponding to a slip amount DVS from a correction reference torque T.sub.BC corresponding to a vehicle body speed V.sub.B. Slip is suppressed by a throttle control so that the engine output is reduced to the target driving torque T.sub.O. A retard command is output when the slip amount DVS and a slip rate GDVS are greater than predetermined values to retard an ignition timing of the engine, thereby suppressing an abrupt slip. When it is determined that a right and left front wheel speed difference is large and the vehicle is running on a split road, a retard command is made difficult to be reset as compared to a case where the vehicle is not running on a split road. When it is detected that the driving wheels are vibrating, particularly a differential factor is decreased and regulated only to a component to reduce the target driving torque.
