    Abstract: The present invention provides a clutch connection method which controls the disconnection/connection of a wet friction clutch on the basis of a duty pulse outputted from an electronic control unit. When the clutch is connected, the electronic control unit initially outputs a start duty (Dst) for largely connecting the clutch as far as the vicinity of a torque point, and, thereafter, outputs, at prescribed time intervals (Δt), a gradual connection duty (Dk) for gradually connecting the clutch, and determines a gradual connection duty value on the basis of a clutch input/output side revolution difference ΔN. Since the clutch is gradually connected while monitoring the clutch connection state, variations between connection times and connection shock, resulting from individual clutch differences or the like, can be eliminated, whereby it is possible to achieve a stable feel. Further, in control which connects the clutch in sync with completion of a transmission gear shift, a plurality of clutch connection modes (an engine plus mode, an in-shaft plus mode, and a synchro mode) are preset, and the clutch connection modes are selected in accordance with the size of clutch input-side and output-side revolution numbers upon completion of a gear shift. Clutch connection is performed which conforms to actual conditions since a clutch connection mode is selected in accordance with the size of clutch input/output side revolution numbers rather than with respect to a shift-up or a shift-down.

    Abstract: A hand-operated accelerator device includes a handgrip speed controlling actuator sleeved rotatably on a handlebar. A speed controlling signal emitting member has an elongated chamber therein with an opened guiding slot. A shifting member is slidably received in the elongated chamber, and has two magnets spaced apart from each other, and a protruding member extending outwardly of the guiding slot to move the shifting member in the chamber upon rotation of the actuator. A hall-effect generator extends transversely between the magnets so as to generate a voltage signal to be received by a circuit board when the shifting member is moved in order to convert the voltage signal into a control signal for controlling revolutions of an electric drive mechanism of an electric-powered bicycle. A spring is disposed to bias the shifting member in a longitudinal direction.

    Abstract: A control system and method is provided for controlling shifting of a vehicular powertrain system (10) including an internal combustion engine (12) drivingly coupled to a mechanical change-gear transmission (14) having a transmission output shaft (22) drivingly coupled to vehicular drive wheels (26) and having a driveline retarder (52) associated therewith. To prevent undesirable vehicle acceleration during shift transients occurring when the vehicle is traveling down a grade, input signals indicative of engine torque (TORQUE.sub.E) and vehicle acceleration (dOS/dt) are sensed and, if engine torque is negative (TORQUE.sub.E REF.sub.2), the retarder is caused to apply an increased level of retarding torque to the vehicle drive wheels.

    Abstract: A control method/system for sensing deflection-type gear neutral signal (GNS) errors in an automated mechanical transmission system (10) is provided. A gear neutral sensor (76/76A) provides signals indicative of axial position in a remote shift shaft (56) from which the neutral and not-neutral positioning of associated jaw clutch members (144) is inferred. Deflections in the shift members, such as the shift yokes (50), may result in erroneous indications of a neutral condition, which is a deflection-type gear neutral signal error sensed by the control of the present invention.
