Abstract: A vehicle driving force control apparatus is configured for a four-wheel drive
vehicle that switches between a four-wheel drive state and a two-wheel drive state. The
driving force control apparatus improves the response when a vehicle shifts into a four-wheel
drive state while starting to move from a state of rest and, simultaneously, avoids
the occurrence of shock when the clutch (12) is connected. When the rotational speeds of
the motor (4) and the rear wheels (3L, 3R) reach or fall below their respective minimum
detectable rotational speeds, the controller (8) calculates estimated times until the motor (4)
and the rear wheels (3L, 3R) will stop based on the rotational speeds detected up until the
minimum detectable rotational speed was reached and begins counting down from those
estimated times. Since the clutch (12) is connected after both estimated times have
reached zero, the clutch (12) is connected while reliably avoiding the occurrence of shock.

Abstract: A method for cleaning the bottom of a pool uses an automated programmed
pool cleaner capable of reversing movement and turning that is initially placed at an
arbitrary location on the bottom of the pool and moved in a forward direction until it
encounters an upright pool wall; the unit is reversed until it is a first predetermined
distance from the wall, turned through a predetermined angle less than 180° and
advanced until it again encounters an upright wall; these steps are repeated until the
unit has encountered upright walls a predetermined number of times, after which the
first predetermined distance is changed to one or more subsequent predetermined
distances. All of the previous steps are repeated until all or substantially all of the
pool has been cleaned. In a preferred embodiment, a rectangular pool is cleaned by
setting the turning angle to 90° and the number of turns before changing the
predetermined distance to seven. In another aspect of the invention, the unit has a
rotary impeller driven in a horizontal plane, and the robot is turned by interrupting
motive force to the impeller a plurality of times during a predetermined period of time
to create a sufficient torque or torsional force to rotate the nearly neutrally buoyant
unit through the desired turning angle.
