Abstract: A reel for winding an elongated body includes a rotor 30 that pivots relative to a casing, a free roller 22 located on the outer peripheral side of the rotor 30, and an inner reel section 30 formed on the inner side thereof. An elongated body is wound in one direction on the outer periphery of the inner reel section 23, and the elongated body extending from the inner reel section is reversed by a reversing roller 21, wound in the other direction on the outer periphery of the free roller 22, and pulled out to the outer periphery of the rotor. The inner reel section 23 is adapted to be pivotable relative to the rotor 30. The pivot shaft of the inner reel section 23 is placed at a position different from the position of the center axis 11 for pivoting of the rotor 30. The reel has a pivoting device for pivoting the inner reel section 23 such that the rotor 30 and the inner reel section 23 pivot in the directions opposite to each other with substantially the same angular speed.

Abstract: The objective of the invention is to provide a DSP that can perform hold testing, which evaluates the halt state of the DSP core, during DSP core self-testing. DSP circuit 2 has input scheduler 8 that outputs restart signals to halt terminal HALT, which controls operation halt/restart for the of DSP core 4, when a fixed time has elapsed after operation of DSP core 4 has halted during hold testing, so the stopped DSP core 4 can be restarted. Thus, the internal state of DSP core 4 when operation restarts, can be recognized by the DSP core 4 itself, so it will be possible to implement hold testing that evaluates whether or not the DSP core 4 has correctly halted operation.

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.
