An image forming apparatus includes a reading unit that reads data stored in an activity amount meter, at least one of an image forming unit that forms an image on a recording medium and an image reading unit that reads the image, a display unit that displays an option to be selected such that the display unit receives a use instruction of a function that is selected, and a sending unit that sends the data stored in the activity amount meter and read by the reading unit. The display unit receives the use instruction even when the sending unit is sending the data stored in the activity amount meter and read by the reading unit.

An apparatus for controlling a differential limit torque produced in a differential provided in an automotive vehicle. During vehicle deceleration, a required differential limit torque value is calculated based on the vehicle deceleration. When a decrease is detected in the required differential limit torque value, a target value for the differential limit torque is calculated based on the required differential limit torque value through a filtering process employing a first filter having a slow output response with respect to the required differential limit torque value decrease in the presence of vehicle braking or a second filter having a fast output response with respect to the required differential limit torque value decrease in the absence of vehicle braking. The differential limit torque is controlled to the calculated target value.
