A shift control apparatus for an automatic transmission having an automatic shift mode for performing a shift operation by determining a gear ratio to be set according to a vehicle running condition and a manual shift mode for performing a shift operation instructed by a manual operation by an operator. The shift control apparatus includes a vehicle speed comparing unit for comparing a vehicle speed at the time of inputting a first manual shift command for downshift to a predetermined gear ratio in the manual shift mode and a vehicle speed at the time of inputting a second manual shift command for downshift during a first shift control period from the time of inputting the first manual shift command to the time of completing first shift control according to the first manual shift command, and a successive shift allowing unit for allowing the downshift by the second manual shift command when the vehicle speed comparing unit has determined that the vehicle speed at the time of inputting the second manual shift command is lower than the vehicle speed at the time of inputting the first manual shift command.

Provided is a mold clamping apparatus of a mold having a side wall portion of cantilever shape, by which deformation of the mold side wall portion can be efficiently suppressed. An injection molding machine and injection molding method both using the mold clamping apparatus are also provided. Thereby, molded articles with high quality having no flash generation can be obtained. The mold clamping apparatus comprises a side pusher comprising a pair of supports respectively arranged between adjacent two tie bars out of a plurality of tie bars at positions symmetrical to each other and slidably supported to the tie bars, a moving and positioning means linking the supports to a fixed platen or movable platen and moving the supports to be positioned at a predetermined position and a lateral clamping means provided on each of the pair of supports to push a side face of a fixed mold or movable mold.

In a system for controlling an internal combustion engine having a plurality of cylinders and connected to the automatic transmission and mounted on a vehicle and the operation of the engine is switched between full-cylinder operation during which all of the cylinders are operative and cutoff-cylinder operation during which some of the cylinders are non-operative, based on at least the load of the engine, a gradient of road on which the vehicle runs is estimated and the cutoff-cylinder operation is prohibited when the estimated gradient is equal to or greater than a threshold value. With this, it becomes possible to generate sufficient deceleration, when the vehicle runs a downhill during cutoff-cylinder operation, while ensuring to prevent the operator to feel excessive acceleration.
