A polar loop transmitter includes separate phase and envelope paths providing a linearising scheme for an efficient non-linear power amplifier. Loop filters are included in each of the phase and envelope paths to enable the path characteristics to be matched to one another. A polar loop transmitter and other types of envelope elimination and restoration transmitters control the output envelope of the power amplifier by connecting the output of the envelope detector, or in an envelope feedback transmitter, the envelope error signal, to the bias control input of the power amplifier. The transmitter can further include compensation means for compensating for non-linearities in the envelope control means and a loss of feedback control detector to ensure that the feedback signal remains within acceptable limits.

A short coherence interferometer apparatus for measuring multiple axially spaced regions of a specimen, in particular the eye, which has at least one measuring beam path, through which multiple individual measuring beams are incident on the specimen, and one reference beam path, through which a reference beam runs, with which the individual measuring beams are superimposed and brought into interference. The individual measuring beams are axially offset to one another upon incidence on the specimen by an amount which is adapted to the axial spacing. The interferometer apparatus superimposes each individual measuring beam with the reference beam in an interfering manner and conducts it to a detector associated with the particular individual measuring beam. The individual measuring beams are combined into a mixture in which they have varying phasing in the superposition with the reference beam.

An idling stop control of the invention attains an auto start and an auto stop of an engine. At a time point t1, pre-set stop conditions are met to cut off a fuel supply to the engine. Preset starting conditions may be met at a time point t2 when the engine still continues rotating in a normal direction by the inertial force. In this state, the idling stop control starts cranking the engine. The preset starting conditions may be met at a time point t4 when a piston does not complete a compression cycle immediately before a stop of the engine but is pressed back by the compressed air to rotate the engine in a reverse direction. In this state, the idling stop control waits until cancellation of the reverse rotation of the engine and then starts cranking the engine. The arrangement of the invention desirably ensures a quick start of the engine, while effectively preventing an excess stress from acting on a gear mechanism, which connects a starter motor to the engine.

A first and a second torque estimate are made for the first power source. The torque matching comprises calculating a correction factor based upon a comparison of the torque estimates made during steady-state operating conditions of the vehicle. The first torque estimate is based on operating parameters for the first power source and the second torque estimate is based on operating parameters for the second power source.

A control circuit 8 of a switching power source comprises a voltage detector 31 for detecting a voltage V_DC of a DC power supply 1 to produce a detection voltage V_DT; a comparator 41 for producing an output signal V_CP when detection voltage V_DT from voltage detector 31 exceeds a reference voltage V_R2; a bottom voltage detector 51 for detecting a bottom point of voltage V_DS across a MOS-FET 3 after energy has been discharged from transformer 2; and a switching controller 61 for selectively turning MOS-FET 3 on depending on existence or absence of the output signal V_CP from comparator 41. When the input voltage V_DC from DC power supply 1 so rises that detection voltage V_DT of voltage detector 31 is above the reference voltage V_R2, switching controller 61 serves to late turn MOS-FET 3 on at the time bottom voltage detector 51 detects the second or later bottom point of the voltage V_DS across MOS-FET 3, extending the off period of MOS-FET 3 to reduce switching frequency of MOS-FET 3.
