Abstract: The invention relates to an artificial knee-joint 10 with a clamping body 13 which has a journal 11 for securing onto a femoral shaft 12 and which can swing against a brake element situated in the knee-joint housing 14 and there, upon vertical knee-joint loading 44, can bear so as to block the continuation of the swing movement, and a part 36 with a recess 40 for receiving the lower-leg tube of a leg prosthesis, and also a stretching device 36 driving the knee-joint 10 back into the extended position. 
<??>In order to prevent uncontrolled bending of the artificial knee-joint 10, particularly in the event of stumbling, it is proposed to mount rotatably in the knee-joint housing a rotationally-secured roller body connected to the said part 26, and also to mount the clamping body 13 pivotably in such a way that, upon vertical loading of the clamping body 13, the latter swings towards the roller body in such a way that the clamping body 13 and the roller body 19 take up a locking position preventing flexion.

Abstract: A microprocessor (1) controlling a shuttle shift transmission (10) may be programmed while the gearshift lever (6) is in neutral to preselect a forward and reverse gear into which the transmission (10) is shifted when the gearshift lever (6) is moved to a forward or reverse position. The microprocessor (1) may also be programmed so that, in shifting between forward and reverse, the forward and reverse gears selected differ by a preprogrammed amount. The microprocessor (1) may be programmed to control vehicle deceleration by selecting gears in the transmission (10) so that the transmission (10) and/or the vehicle engine (7) become a load for decelerating the vehicle. In a diagnostic mode, the microprocessor (10) executes a routine to develop a clutch calibration value which may later be used to insure uniformity of clutch operation in different vehicles, or in the same vehicle over a period of time. The normal speed ratio matching which normally takes place when shifting gears may be manually overridden by operator manipulation of the gearshift lever (6). The override may either terminate speed ratio matching for a particular shift, or the override may be effective for a fixed interval of time. <IMAGE>
