When using image scanners to capture images of originals and using printers to print same, four-sided borderless copying is enabled such that margins do not appear on printouts. An image scanner might capture an image corresponding to scan region 263 which might be somewhat larger than original 262. Image processing circuitry might then enlarge an image corresponding to scan region 266 (arrow 279), converting it into enlarged image 271. Within enlarged image 271, the image of original 262 might have been enlarged so as to become image 273, which might be somewhat larger than printing paper 274. This enlarged original image 273 which would be present within enlarged image 271 might then be printed by a printer.

An oil pressure command value for slip-control of a lock-up clutch of a torque converter is calculated based on a feed-forward oil pressure value calculated by an FF value calculating unit and a feed-back oil pressure value calculated by a feedback value calculating unit. When the feedback oil pressure value is calculated, a deviation out-of-range determining unit determines whether a deviation between actual rotational speed difference and target rotational speed difference is outside of a predetermined range. If the deviation is outside of the predetermined range, a feedback value correcting unit calculates a correction value and corrects the feedback oil pressure value. Therefore, when the deviation is outside of the predetermined range, the actual rotational speed difference is brought into convergence with the target rotational speed difference with rapid response. When the deviation falls within the predetermined range, normal feedback control is adopted to assure stability without overshooting, even in a high engine speed, high engine torque state.

The present invention provides a driving method using a liquid crystal light modulating device including transparent electrodes which each have a horizontally alignment film; and a liquid crystal composition which contains at least a chiral dopant, a dichroic dye and a host liquid crystal. The transparent electrodes face each other to have a cell gap having a width of 10 μm or less therebetween. The liquid crystal composition is filled into the cell gap, and has a positive dielectric constant anisotropy. The driving method attains display-switching by (a) applying a higher voltage than a threshold voltage of the liquid crystal composition into the device so as to be transparent and colorless, (b) applying a lower voltage than a threshold voltage so as to be light-scattered white, or (c) applying no voltage so as to be colored.
