A main CPU determines whether or not there is a request for one valve driving based on an engine operating state such as an engine speed and a load factor, with reference to a control map. When it is determined that there is a request for one valve driving, it is determined whether or not there is an overlapping period between opening periods. When it is determined that there is no overlapping period, a high speed control is performed for controlling electromagnetically driven valves. When it is determined that there is no request for one valve driving, or when it is determined that there is the overlapping period, a low speed control is performed for controlling electromagnetically driven valves.

A robot apparatus and a motion controlling method for the robot apparatus wherein a reflex motion or the like can be performed at a high speed while decreasing the calculation amount of and the concentrated calculation load to a control apparatus. The robot has a control configuration having a hierarchical structure including a higher order central calculation section corresponding to the brain, reflex system control sections corresponding to the vertebra, and servo control systems and actuators corresponding to the muscles. From restrictions to the power consumption and so forth, there is a limitation to increase of the speed of a control cycle of the higher order central calculation section. External force acting upon the machine body is a disturbance input of a high frequency band, and a very high speed control system is required. Therefore, the reflex control systems which correspond to an intermediate hierarchy operate in a high speed cycle to respond at a high speed to the external force to absorb a deviation caused by the disturbance.

A CAN receiver architecture design that provides better immunity against EMI interference than conventional designs is disclosed herein. This CAN receiver includes a voltage divider network connected to a front-end amplifier for dividing down the input signal from a two wire line by a predetermined amount and amplifying the signal by the same predetermined amount. The front-end amplifier generates the common-mode voltage of the input signal for a reference generator that determines the logic level of the incoming signal and subtracts a bandgap voltage reference from the common-mode voltage. A comparator compares the difference between the output of the front-end amplifier and the resultant signal generated by the reference generator to generate an output signal for the receiver. This CAN receiver architecture is faster than conventional designs and possesses an improved common-mode rejection, while operating over a wide input common mode range.
