Abstract: A vehicle speed is obtained from detection signals obtained from wheel speed sensors. In a case where a vehicle speed calculation is shifted from a first method to a second method, a vehicle speed displayed on a speedometer is gradually changed from the vehicle speed obtained by the first method to the vehicle speed obtained by the second method. This avoids abrupt change in the displayed vehicle speed causing the driver to feel discomfort.

Abstract: A CPU measures pulse width of a vehicle speed pulse signal transmitted from a vehicle speed sensor continuously and estimates the pulse width coming next according to the pulse width of the present pulse and preceding pulses. The CPU calculates a set position of a stepping motor from the data of the pulse width and the estimated pulse width, and calculates the number of steps for the stepping motor to move to the set position from the set position data and the present position data. Each driving time of the stepping motor is calculated from the estimated pulse width data and the number of steps.

Abstract: A device for detecting and counting occurrences of specific human motions. The device includes structure for mounting the device to an object or a part of the human body which takes part in the motion. The device further comprises at least one acceleration-sensitive switch, a computer connected to an output from the acceleration-sensitive switch, a reset switch connected to the computer, and a display which is controlled by the computer. The acceleration-sensitive switch is preferably uniaxial, and therefore closes to complete a circuit and generates a pulse only when subjected to acceleration forces in a predetermined direction. The computer is programmed to detect the duration of the pulses received from the acceleration-sensitive switch, and is further programmed with parameters indicative of the minimum duration of such a pulse which will be deemed to have resulted from the occurrence of the specific human motion. By programming the computer in this manner, the computer determines when the human motion has occurred. The computer is further programmed to count the number of pulses which have exceeded the minimum duration, and to generate an output signal to the display indicative of this count.

Abstract: A shifting timing indicating system for a vehicle includes a control circuit having an engine rpm sensor for detecting the engine rpm and a rpm comparator which receives the output of the engine rpm sensor and determines whether the engine rpm exceeds a preset value. The control circuit outputs a shift-up signal when the engine rpm exceeds the preset value. A shift-up indicator receives the shift-up signal from the control circuit and makes a shift-up display to direct the operator of the vehicle to shift up. An acceleration detecting circuit detects the rate of increase in engine load and the shift-up indicator is inhibited from making the shift-up display for a predetermined time interval which is extended with increase in the rate of increase in engine load.
