Abstract: The device is housed in a carrier (2) in the exhaust duct (1). Thermal mass current sensors (3,4) on the carrier are arranged in the housing. One sensor is heated by the output current of a regulating amplifier. A second current sensor is arranged on the carrier in front of, or behind, the first sensor in the air flow direction. Each sensor forms part of a bridge circuit with the output current of a regulating amplifier (14,15). Temperature sensors (9,10) are arranged in each bridge branch, on a further carrier (8) spaced a distance away from the first carrier. The voltages at the end terminals of the two sensors are fed to an electronic circuit. This converts the terminal voltages into air flow divided by air mass, according to a quoted equation involving a freely selectable factor, K.

Abstract: A vehicle automatic transmission control system, in which when a gear to be shifted to is determined in response to the throttle opening and vehicle speed, hydraulic oil is supplied to a clutch for the gear to be shifted to. In an early period of the gearshift, the hydraulic oil is supplied to decrease a time lag between an output of the gearshift command and a start of clutch engagement. In the system, there is provided, instead of an expensive oil pressure sensor, a means for estimating or detecting the clutch oil pressure as an capacity of power which the clutch can transmit. When the estimated or detected pressure is high, the supply of oil to the clutch is prohibited so as to prevent sudden clutch engagement which would otherwise produce shock.

Abstract: Digital video data encoder and decoder operate to enable the low and high speed reproduction of variable rate encoded digital video data by reproducing and decoding intraframe encoded frames that are identified by previously reproduced intraframe encoded frames. In the encoder, digital video data is variable rate encoded (1), for example, intraframe and interframe encoded entry points (i.e., beginning positions) of selected encoded video data are identified and which represent video frames that occur at predetermined intervals of time (e.g., 1, 2 and 4 seconds) in the video picture. Entry point data that identify these positions are generated (31, 8, 33) and added (32, 6) to the encoded video data before the video data is recorded on the record medium (DSM). When the encoded data is reproduced from the record medium, the entry point data is extracted therefrom and stored, and a successive intraframe encoded frame identified by the extracted entry point data is reproduced and decoded. The invention further provides for a record medium having thereon the encoded digital video data, and also provides for an encoder and corresponding decoder which encode and decode, respectively, digital still image and audio data in which entry points refer to each of the still images and also to particular intervals of time of the audio data.

Abstract: In a radio selective call receiver for lowering a radio signal level in accordance with the state where reception of a sync signal is enabled/disabled, an amplifier 53 amplifies a radio signal fed from a base station. A frequency converter 54 shifts a frequency of the radio signal amplified in the amplifier 53 to a first frequency band and a second frequency band. A demodulator 55 converts a radio signal shifted to the second frequency band by the frequency converter 54 into a base band signal. A level detector 56 outputs a direct current voltage relative to an electric field intensity level of the radio signal shifted to the second frequency band by the frequency converter 54. A comparator 57 compares the direct current voltage output from the level detector 56 with a predetermined voltage. A controller 42 judges whether a first sync signal can be received by a base band signal demodulated by the demodulator 55, and outputs a control signal "L" to an attenuation circuit 52 when determined that reception of the first sync signal is impossible. The attenuating circuit 52 lowers the level of the radio signal by the control signal "L" output from the controller 42.

Abstract: For beam forming acoustical signals the phase difference of the output signals of two acoustical/electrical transducers is determined (27) and is multiplied by a factor (30). One of the two output signals of the at least two transducers is phase shifted by an amount according to the multiplication result. This phase shifted signal and the signal of the second transducer are led to a signal processing unit, wherein beam forming on these at least two signals is performed. Thereby, it becomes possible to perform beam forming as if the transducers were mutually distant by more than they physically are.
