Abstract:
The shift control system for an automatic transmission in a vehicle includes a plurality of sensors and a transmission control unit. The plurality of sensors sense operating conditions of the vehicle. The transmission control unit controls shift control solenoids and a pressure control solenoid in a hydraulic control system for the automatic transmission based on the sensed vehicle operating conditions. The shift control solenoids control operation of friction elements in the automatic transmission, and the pressure control solenoid controls hydraulic pressure supplied to the friction elements. The transmission control unit detects a change in driving mode from a reverse mode to a drive mode based on the sensed vehicle operating conditions, and controls the shift control solenoids such that the automatic transmission shifts into only a first speed stage in the drive mode when the transmission control unit detects the change in the driving mode from the reverse mode to the drive mode.
Abstract:
A method for obtaining reversible male sterilization by occlusion of the vas deferens to block passage of the sperm produced in the testes. A portion of the vas deferens is exposed by a high midscrotal incision for the insertion of an intravasal plug. The plug has a filiform thread attached to one of its ends and is introduced into the vas by a straight needle from the testicular side of the epididymal side of the vas with the filiform threads allowed to extend through the wall of the vas at the epididymal side. The filiform thread is then tied around the vas at the epididymal side in order to hold the intravasal plug in place thereby creating a mechanical obstruction to the passage of the sperm.
