In the speed stage shifting carried out by a speed stage shift pattern in an engine driving mode or a speed stage shift pattern in an inertially running mode according as the vehicle is running in an engine driving condition or an inertially running condition, when the vehicle is running in an indefinite condition between the engine driving condition and the inertially running condition, the engin...

The present patent application discusses a frequency translation apparatus for altering the effective frequency of the phase information of an input signal (115). The input signal (115) has a first phase ((theta)(t)) and a first frequency (fi). The phase of the input signal is extracted and digitized at a second frequency (fo), forming a second N-bit digital phase signal ((theta)'(t))(311). The fr...
