An automatic power transmitting system for an automotive vehicle, wherein the operation of an electromagnetic clutch is automatically controlled in response to automatic shifting actions of a constant-mesh transmission by synchromesh devices. The powder clutch includes a driving rotor unit having an outer yoke and an inner yoke which cooperate to define therebetween an annular space in which a thin-walled cylindrical member of a driven rotor unit is disposed, such that the cylindrical member cooperates with at least one of the outer and inner yokes to define at least one powder gap. A small thickness of the cylindrical member assures a minimum of rotational energy consumption by the synchromesh devices. A damper may be disposed so as to connect the driven rotor unit and the input shaft of the constant-mesh transmission, so as to provide a damping effect for preventing a rapid change in an amount of torque transmitted from the driven rotor unit to the input shaft.

A cartridge used for image formation is detachably accommodated in a main body of an image forming apparatus. A cartridge determining unit determines a cartridge type, which is a type of the cartridge, and a print-job determining unit determines a print job type, which is a type of a print job received from an external device. If the print job type and the cartridge type do not match, an inhibiting unit inhibits an image formation process.

A starting unit starts, in parallel with a blowing operation for a first tray, a blowing operation for a second tray that is to perform a feeding operation next. When a predetermined time elapses after starting the blowing operation for the second tray, a feeding unit switches from the first tray to the second tray, and feeds the recording medium from the second tray. When the blowing operation is performed for a number of trays before switching the trays and the number of trays is equal to or larger than a predetermined number, a control unit limits the number of trays for performing the blowing operation.

In a planetary gear unit 120, a planetary carrier 123 is linked with an engine 150, a sun gear 121 with a motor 130, and a ring gear 122 with a motor 140 and an axle 116. A clutch 160 is disposed between the planetary gear unit 120 and the motor 140 to connect and disconnect the planetary gear unit 120 with and from the motor 140. A brake 162 is also provided to constrain the ring gear 122 in a released position of the clutch 160. The state of coupling the clutch 160 attains the structure of a parallel hybrid vehicle. The state of releasing the clutch 160 and activating the brake 162 to constrain the ring gear 122 attains the structure of a series hybrid vehicle. The technique of the present invention changes over the drive mode according to the driving state of the hybrid vehicle, thus ensuring an efficient drive that takes advantage of the characteristics of the respective drive modes.

In a Y/C separator, a computed signal is obtained through computation on from a signal of a color carrier signal band in a Y/C composite video signal and a delayed signal obtained by delaying the signal of the color carrier signal band by a 1 H period. The computation includes one for producing an absolute value, one for producing a smaller one of a plurality of signals, and subtraction and addition. Under control of the computed signal and a reference signal, a color carrier signal is produced in accordance with the signal of the color carrier signal band and a signal obtained by comb filtering the signal of the color carrier signal band.
