Abstract: The preload force setting process is for a gearbox with two disc sets of two discs each. The length of the transmission element is found and an initial value for the preload force is worked out. The preload force is then reduced and the virtual length of the transmission element is found. The slip state of the transmission element is then found by comparing the actual and virtual lengths. The preload force is then altered, depending on the slip state. If the actual and virtual lengths coincide, the preload force is reduced. If there is a discrepancy between the actual and virtual lengths, the preload force is increased. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A method for detecting misfire by fluctuation in crankshaft rotation in which the occurrence of misfire can be detected exactly by eliminating the effect of detection error in detecting the fluctuation in crankshaft rotation, caused by the error in the construction of a crank angle sensor. By succeedingly receiving pulses from the crank angle sensor, a processor detects a time interval taken from the entering into a crankshaft rotation angle region, relating to a cylinder corresponding to both pulses, to the leaving therefrom (S2), calculates the crankshaft angular acceleration Dω n  by using the correction factor calculated on the basis of the above detected time interval, and the time interval determined by dividing the time taken for one rotation of crankshaft by the number of cylinders (S3, S4), the latter interval being free from sensor error, and detects the occurrence of misfire when the calculated value Dω n  is less than the decision value (S5 through S7).

Abstract: This invention is a new kind of parametric speech coding system in which the parametrization according to a speech production model is carried out not only on the speech signal to be coded but also on the decoded, that is, synthesized speech signal. A parametric representation (207) of the synthesized signal is compared with a parametric representation (203) of the original speech signal and the coding functions are controlled according to their difference. At first, parametrization (205) according to the speech production model used in the encoding is carried out on the decoded speech signal. Next, the parameter values formed from the synthesized speech signals are compared (204) with the parameter values (203) calculated, in the encoder, from the speech signal to be coded. A known distance measure can be used in carrying out the comparison. The coding functions are controlled by means of a shaping block (202) in such a way that the difference indicated by the distance measure is made as small as possible.

Abstract: In an instruction prefetch circuit, even when a branch instruction is prefetched, the circuit continues a prefetch operation until branching is actually executed. Accordingly, when the branch instruction is a conditional branch instruction and not actually executed, the circuit continues the prefetch operation so that the prefetched instructions are efficiently supplied to a processor. It may be arranged that, when the branch instruction is an unconditional branch instruction, a branch destination address is extracted from the unconditional branch instruction and used as a prefetch address. Accordingly, the circuit continues the prefetch operation even when branching is executed. It may further be arranged that, when the branch instruction is a conditional branch instruction, a branch destination address is extracted from the conditional branch instruction and further a branch prediction is performed. When branching is expected based on the branch prediction, the branch destination address is used as a prefetch address. Accordingly, as long as the branch prediction does not fail, the circuit continues the prefetch operation.

Abstract: A broadcast signal receiver, which can prevent a failure in reserved recording, includes a microcomputer (3) which decodes a VCR+ code of a programme desired to be reserved for recording, which is inputted by way of a remote commander or the like, to obtain data of programme start and end times and channel information. A channel indicated by the channel information is selected by a tuner circuit (2), and programme table data is extracted from a character broadcasting signal multiplexed in a video signal by a decoder. It is discriminated whether or not one of the programme starting times of programmes included in the programme table data coincides with the programme start time obtained by decoding of the VCR+ code. A result of the discrimination is displayed on a monitor television (11). Only when it is discriminated that a coincident programme start time is present are the data of the programme start and end times and the channel information written into a reservation memory (9) and registered for reservation. Recording is started when the programme label (programme starting time) extracted from the video signal by the decoder coincides with the programme start time of the reservation memory (9).
