Abstract: A di(aminomethyl)-substituted aromatic compound is produced by a two-stage
hydrogenation. In the first stage, an aromatic dinitrile is hydrogenated
into a cyano(aminomethyl)-substituted aromatic compound in the presence of a
Pd-containing catalyst. The resultant cyano(aminomethyl)-substituted
aromatic compound is then hydrogenated in the second stage into the target
di(aminomethyl)-substituted aromatic compound in the presence of a Ni- and/or
Co-containing catalyst. By the above method, the di(aminomethyl)-substituted
aromatic compound is produced in a high selectivity and a
sufficiently high yield without reducing the catalyst life.

Abstract: A convolutional encoded signal, having at least one predetermined bit at a
predetermined bit location in the signal, is decoded, taking into account the at least one
predetermined bit (101). As in a known Viterbi decoder, error coefficients are
determined, representative of differences between successively received encoded
symbols of the encoded signal, representative of transitions of the state of an encoder
with which the signal was encoded, and predetermined permitted transitions from the
said states. Sums of error coefficients (93, 94) corresponding to successions of
transitions are determined to find a succession of transitions having a least sum,
representative of a least error decoded signal. However, states which are inconsistent
with the predetermined bit at the predetermined bit location are effectively discounted,
as are any transitions passing through such a state. This may be visualised as
constraining a Viterbi trellis in the vicinity of the at least one predetermined bit.

Abstract: A refrigeration cycle control unit comprises a discharge pressure estimation
means for estimating a discharge pressure of a compressor (18) by referring to a physical
value with a correlation with a suction pressure of the compressor (18) estimated or detected
by a suction pressure estimation or detection means and a physical value with a
correlation with a pressure difference between the discharge pressure and the suction
pressure estimated or detected by a pressure difference estimation or detection means.
In a refrigeration cycle having an external signal control type variable displacement
compressor (18), a discharge pressure of the compressor (18) can be estimated without detecting
a high-pressure side pressure by a sensor, and the discharge pressure can be controlled
at an optimum pressure to protect the compressor (18), and further, it is possible to make a
more inexpensive system.

Abstract: A processor acquires VICS data including map information and traffic jam
information as well as a traffic jam prediction table prepared by processing past traffic
conditions based on temporal elements. As it recognizes a request for displaying the
transition of a traffic jam, it computes a traffic jam prediction after the elapse of a
predetermined time, e.g., every 30 minutes, using the traffic jam prediction table and a
calendar table so as to generate traffic jam prediction information. Then, it superimposes
an additional indicators (Jm) near a current traffic jam mark (Jg) produced on the basis of
the VICS data. With a simple arrangement of superimposing such additional indicators
(Jm), a user can easily recognize the predicted transition of the traffic jam.
