A video reproducing apparatus performs continued reproduction of a video title in association with continued reproduction of applications. When a Power-OFF or Reproduction-Stop of the video reproducing apparatus event occurs at a time point when the video title is reproduced to a midpoint of a chapter, continued reproduction information of an HD DVD disk is identified, such as a title and a chapter being reproduced, and is stored in a memory at that point in time. When the power is turned ON without replacing the HD DVD disk, the application displays a chapter menu of the title, and a script including a command for starting reproduction of the chapter is activated by the application according to an operation of a button of the chapter menu.

摘要:
A thyristor circuit and an apparatus using the circuit for the prohibition of operation of a motor vehicle by an intoxicated person may be fabricated by combining an ignition switch with an engine locking and unlocking means, timing means, sensing means and an indication means. The normal ignition circuit of a motor vehicle is interrupted by an engine locking and unlocking means. A timing signal is generated by the timing means by selectively charging a circuit in turn is responsive to the performance of the operator in a motor ability test such as the ability to maintain a predetermined amount of steady pressure on a brake pedal. If the operator is successfully performing the test, the charged node achieves a preselected potential and an indication means produces a first cognizable signal which indicates a successful performance. After the operator has successfully performed the test for a predetermined duration, a second cognitive signal is produced by the indication means which indicates that the operator is qualified to operate the vehicle. The normal ignition circuit is then completed by the engine locking and unlocking means in response to the timing signal. The motor vehicle may then be started in the conventional fashion.

When a load to an engine of a vehicle running at a constant speed increases and a vehicle speed slows down below a preset vehicle speed for a constant speed running condition, a gear of an automatic transmission is shifted down. A shift-down signal for causing the gear to shift down is held for a predetermined time to prevent the shift-up of the gear in cases when the vehicle speed momentarily recovers the preset vehicle speed.

A main switch of a cruise control system is combined with one of a number of the control switches such as a set/coast switch, wherein when the combined switch is once turned ON, the combined switch functions as a main switch, and when the combined switch is twice turned ON, the main function of the combined switch is operated. On the other hand, when the combined switch is once turned ON and this state is continued for more than a predetermined time, the combined switch functions as a main switch at first, and after the predetermined time has passed, the main function of the combined switch is operated.

A digital circuit for the prohibition of operation of a motor vehicle by an intoxicated person may be fabricated by combining an ignition switch with an engine locking and unlocking means, timing means, sensing means and an indication means. The normal ignition circuit of a motor vehicle is interrupted by an engine locking and unlocking means. A timing signal is generated by the timing means in response to signals received from a clock and a sensing means which in turn is responsive to the performance of the operator in a motor ability test such as the ability to maintain a predetermined amount of steady pressure on a brake pedal. If the operator is successfully performing the test, an indication means produces a first cognizable signal which indicates a successful performance. After the operator has successfully performed the test for a predetermined duration as determined by the count stored in a register, a second cognitive signal is produced by the indication means which indicates that the operator is qualified to operate the vehicle. The normal ignition circuit is then completed by the engine locking and unlocking means in response to the timing signal. The motor vehicle may then be started in the conventional fashion.

In a deceleration detecting device, magnetic induction electromotive force is utilized as a signal for expanding an air bag, and magnitude of this magnetic induction electromotive force is proportional to a speed variation ratio of a movable magnetic substance transferred by deceleration exceeding a predetermined value of a vehicle in order to decrease a detecting time.

An automotive vehicle speed control system, in which steady speed drive control is effected. When a vehicle steady speed is increased to the next steady speed, a target signal for the next steady speed drive is increased by a predetermined value immediately after generation of a steady speed incremental signal, followed by increasing the target signal by amounts per time thereby to increase the steady speed. g

A diagnostic monitoring system, for detecting and displaying malfunctions or abnormal operations occurring in various engine operation control computers, includes a microcomputer, actuators and sensors. Each of the engine operation control computers performs a diagnosis program as a part of their control programs and produces a signal whenever a malfunction or abnormal operation is detected. A central supervisory system receives such signals from the engine operation control computers and stores them separately for the individual control computers. A display unit displays the stored signals in response to instructions from the central supervisory system.

The present invention relates to improvements in a switch for a direction indicator suitable for use in a motor car comprising: a bracket operationally associated with a control lever for a direction indicator and rotatable through a predetermined angle in dependence on a direction indicated; a rachet opposed to the main body of the bracket through a steering wheel, opposite end portions of which are constantly biased in a direction of being engaged with opposite end portions of the main body of the bracket, and rotatable through a predetermined angle in dependence on a direction indicator; and a cancel cam formed at the periphery thereof with projections capable of releasing a condition of engagement between the end portions of the main body of the bracket in response to the rotation of the steering wheel in a state of having a slight clearance in the direction of rotation and rotatable along with the steering wheel. Striking noises occurring during operation of a steering wheel are prevented by: a frictional inclusion interposed between abutting surfaces of the cancel cam and the steering wheel; shock absorbing means provided between abutting surface of the bracket and the ratchet; a lubricant of high viscosity filled in recesses formed on a shock receiving surface of either the bracket or the ratchet; shock absorbing members provided at portions of engagement between the steering wheel and the cancel cam for absorbing clearances in the direction of rotation; and shock absorbing tongues integrally formed either on the end portions of the main body of the ratchet.
