Abstract: Heads-up and heads-down displays employing holographic stereograms are provided. The stereogram (13) can be oriented perpendicular to the user's line of sight (the "90° case") or at angle to the line of sight (the "non-90° case"). The stereograms are produced using a three-step process in which a series of two-dimensional perspective views (26) are prepared, a H 1  hologram is prepared from the two-dimensional perspective views, and a H 2  hologram is prepared from the H 1  hologram. For the non-90° case, the two-dimensional perspective views (26) are oriented at an angle relative to the plane of the H 1  hologram during the preparation of that hologram. Similarly, during the preparation of the H 2  hologram for this case, the H 2  hologram is oriented at an angle relative to the H 1  hologram. In this way, the viewing slits generated by the holographic stereogram are located in the vicinity of the user's eyes for the non-90° case as is desired. In certain embodiments, the two-dimensional perspective views are transformed prior to being recorded on the H 1  hologram.

Abstract: During retrieval of data from tape (10) in a helical scan tape drive mechanism with a rotary head drum (12), movement of tape past the drum by a capstan (15) is controlled to keep the tracks (20,21) recorded on the tape in alignment with paths followed by the heads. A time interval (Int) is measured between occurrence of a drum position pulse generated at a specific angular position of the drum, and detection of reference signals (28a,28b) included in the tracks (such as specific portions, with known bit patterns, of the data in the tracks). The capstan is operated to keep this interval equal to a set reference value. If a change in the reference value is required, such as at a transition between data recordings made at different times, the tape is moved at a slower than normal speed, and multiple measurements are made of the time interval as it cycles through a range of values in consequence of the changed tape speed. The mean value of these multiple measurements is used as the new reference value.

Abstract: A selecting switch operating section provided to support movable contact points includes circular elastic support walls disposed along an arrangement circle of selecting stationary contact points, and a pushing portion. When the selecting switch operating section is pushed by an operating portion tilted integrally with the operating lever, at least one of movable contact points comes into contact with at least one of the selecting stationary contact points. Thus, it is not necessary to provide accommodation space for other members between the adjacent selecting stationary contact points. Also, it is possible to reduce the spacing interval between adjacent selecting stationary contact points in the arrangement circle, so that the diameter of the arrangement circle can be reduced and the entire lever switch can be reduced in size.

Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide an apparatus for detecting misfiring of internal combustion engines capable of detecting the misfiring reliably even though an ignition plug fouls. 
     When a mixture in a cylinder burns normally due to a discharge at an ignition plug 12, a voltage developed across a detection resistor 16 is fetched into a microcomputer 18 during a period other than a period where ions are generated. Thus, an insulation resistance due to fouling of the ignition plug 12 is measured. If the voltage developed across the detecting resistor 16 which is fetched into the microcomputer 18 during the period where ions are generated is equal to or larger than a threshold value, it is determined that mixture has burnt normally. If the voltage is smaller than the threshold value, it is determined that a misfire has occurred. The threshold value is corrected according to the decrease of insulation resistance. Consequently, though the ignition plug fouls, misfiring can be detected reliably.
