The present invention relates to a software module, and, especially, relates to a software module for integration having severe restriction on the available memory amount and the real-time operation, and provides a software module for integration having increased inheritance in software. This is a software module for integration, integrated as a software module within a device to control the device. The software module has a public module for updating a public data value, an intermediate module for converting the data value in a predetermined data format updated in the public module into a data value in a predetermined data format adaptable to a referencing side, and a referencing module for referencing the data value in a predetermined data format converted by the intermediate module. The publication and referencing process can be implemented among the modules.

The present invention relates to a method of converting 2D images into 3D images by producing from a 2D image signal a main image signal and a sub-image signal delayed from the main image signal. In the present invention, a temporary field delay from the main image signal to the sub-image signal is found on the basis of data related to the movement in the current field of the main image signal (a first step). A target field delay is then found on the basis of the temporary field delay found in the first step (a second step). A true field delay used in the succeeding field is found on the basis of the target field delay found in the second step and the true field delay used in the current field (a third step).

This invention relates to a control system for controlling equipment provided inside a vehicle utilizing a speech recognition apparatus inside the vehicle. This control system includes an in-phase component detector (4) for detecting an in-phase component of voice signals from microphones (1), a phase shift and in-phase component detector (5) for shifting a phase of the voice signals to detect an in-phase component, and a command seat discriminator (6) for comparing output levels of the in-phase component detector (4) and the phase shift and in-phase component detector (5). In addition, the control system includes validity/invalidity detector (7) for determining the validity and invalidity of a command content resulting from outputs of a speech recognizer (3) based upon a signal generated from the command seat discriminator (6), and a various controller (8) that controls any one of various pieces of equipment with respect to the valid commands output from the validity/invalidity detector (7) to reliably discriminate commands from the driver's seat and the passenger seats in a noisy vehicle.

When a fluctuation of engine speed is detected during idling of an engine, an opening degree of the flow control valve provided in an idle bypass pipe is changed at a comparatively high rate of change. Based upon this, when the rate of change of the engine speed approaches zero, it rapidly changes the opening degree to maintain a value related to intake pipe pressure or an accumulated value of the intake pipe pressure and the engine speed at that point, or until the value is reached at a range which a gentle change is possible. Consequently, for example, when the engine speed drops, the intake air flow is increased at a comparatively high rate of change, and it is possible to prevent engine stalling. Further more, when the rate of change of the engine speed passes through zero and begins to rise, the intake air flow is rapidly reduced until the value is reached the range at which the torque at that point can be maintained, and so called quick response due to overcontrol is prevented. In this way, with a high control gain, it performs idle speed control having more favorable stability.

A charging apparatus comprises a U-shaped cell-accommodation frame structure and a power supply casing. The cell-accommodation frame structure includes an end plate and a pair of arm plates extending from the both ends respectively of the end plate, and the power supply casing is provided with a power supply plug on one surface and cell-connection contact strips on another surface. Two communicating arcuate slots and an elongate slot are formed at the free end portion of each of the arm plates of the cell-accommodation frame structure, and lugs movably engageable with the former and latter slots respectively are formed on each of the side surfaces of the power supply casing, so that the power supply casing is rotatable and horizontally movable relative to the cell-accommodation frame structure, and cells having different lengths can be accommodated in the cell accommodation space from the both sides of the openings of the space.

One analog signal is selected out of a plurality of analog signals by a multiplexer and a capacitor is electrically charged though such a switch as adapted to be closed/opened by a start signal, and thereafter the capacitor is caused to discharge with a constant current with the switch opened. A level discriminating signal is led out when a voltage of the capacitor discharging goes below a predetermined discriminating level after the switch is opened. A stop signal is generated as a result of a logical operation of the analog signal and the level discriminating signal by an AND gate. A processing circuit accepts the stop signal and calculates a digital value corresponding to a time period from the time that the switch is opened to the time that the level discriminating signal is generated, and then moves to a subsequent processing operation.

A crank angle sensor generates a reference position signal and a crank angle signal as an internal combustion engine rotates. A counter counts the crank angle signals and, when its count value has reached a first set value, it goes to a second set value. Where the count value of the counter changed from the first to the second set value before the generation of the reference position signal, a control circuit sets the counter to the second set value when the reference position signal is generated. Where the count value of the counter did not change from the first to the second set value before the generation of the reference position signal, the control circuit sets the counter to the second set value when the counter is at the first set value and the reference position signal is produced.
