Disclosed is a throttle quadrant arrangement utilizing a throttle lever mechanically connected to three Rotary Variable Differential Transformers (RVDTs). The signals from the RVDTs are monitored by a process where the processing component. More specifically, RVDT outputs are monitored by the engine control system to determine if they are outside a predetermined range of operability. If an RVDT is not operable, the engine control system establishes a thrust output using the signal from one of the functional two. If only one or none are within the range, the system moves on to a default mode.

In a shift device (10), a base portion (42) of a collar (40) is accommodated in a mounting hole (50) of a support portion (34), and a thin plate portion (52) of the support portion (34) is disposed at an upper side of an upper face (42A) of the base portion (42). When an impact load of at least a predetermined value is applied to a shift lever, the thin plate portion (52) of the support portion (34) is broken by the base portion (42) and the support portion (34) moves while being guided by the base portion (42). Thus, the impact load is absorbed. Consequently, an impact load absorption mode may be made consistent.

The invention relates to a rotary control device for a vehicle comprising a user interface surface, in particular a knob, that is embodied to rotate with respect to a housing of the device around a rotational axis of the device, further comprising a sensor unit for monitoring the orientation and/or rotational movement of the user interface surface with respect to the housing, a processing unit, and a communications interface for transmitting control signals according to an output from the processing unit, said output being generated by the processing unit on the basis of sensor data from the sensor unit.

A power tool comprising a controller for controlling the operation of the power tool wherein the controller is configured to control operation of the power tool in a default mode and in a low-noise mode, wherein; the controller, is configured to control operation of the power tool in the low-noise mode on basis of predetermined settings that are selected such that the noise output from the power tool in the low-noise mode is lower than the noise output from the power tool in the default mode.

A shift control system for an automatic transmission is provided, which is mounted on a vehicle configured to be started by an ignition switch being turned on, where an automatic transmission mode or a manual transmission mode is selectively set. The system includes a shift switch through which a manual transmission command for arbitrarily changing a gear stage of the automatic transmission can be inputted in the manual transmission mode, and a controller. The manual transmission mode includes a first manual mode in which the gear stage is changed and maintained by inputting the manual transmission command using the shift switch, and a second manual mode in which the automatic transmission mode is resumed by satisfying a resuming condition after the gear stage is changed. When the ignition switch is turned on, the controller selects in advance the second mode to be set to the automatic transmission.

An anti-theft device for a vehicle includes an approach prevention cover disposed in a shift lever housing to cover a shift cable connected to a shift lever so as to prevent the shift cable from being detached. Such an anti-theft vehicle makes is possible to easily and efficiently prevent theft of the vehicle by preventing a shift cable operated along with operation of a shift lever from being removed.

This transmission device includes a mode changeover switch (59) on which a mode changeover operation between a manual mode (M2) and an automated mode (M1) is externally performed, other operation unit (80) on which a predetermined shift operation is externally performed separately from the mode changeover switch (59), and a control unit (60) configured to control a mode changeover between the manual mode (M2) and the automated mode (M1). The control unit (60) executes the mode changeover between the manual mode (M2) and the automated mode (M1) on the basis of the mode changeover operation on the mode changeover switch (59). When the shift operation on the other operation unit (80) has been performed, the control unit (60) executes the mode changeover between the manual mode (M2) and the automated mode (M1).
