An overvoltage protection circuit includes a PMOS transistor Q1 that is disposed between an input circuit 21, from which an input voltage VIN is supplied, and a system 22 and functions as a switch. A comparator 110 compares the input voltage VIN with a predetermined reference voltage to determine the occurrence of an overvoltage. Further, the comparator 110 outputs a High level as an operation signal when no overvoltage is detected. A soft switching control circuit 130 starts up by using the High level output from the comparator 110 as an enable signal, and gradually turns on the PMOS transistor Q1. A sudden change of the load exerted on the circuit on the input side is suppressed by the soft start function.

An object of the present invention is to provide a decorative illumination signboard capable of effectively downwardly emitting light while suppressing an upward emission of light with a simple configuration and a plastic sheet used in the decorative illumination signboard.The object can be accomplished by a plastic sheet having optical transparency which includes an exit surface and an incident surface on which a plurality of prism lines having a flat and smooth surface are arranged to be aligned. A shape of the prism in a cross-section perpendicular to a longitudinal direction of the prism line is formed by a side A on a lower side at an angle of α degrees to a normal line of the exit surface and a side B on an upper side at an angle of β degrees to the normal line of the exit surface and α<β, and 40 degrees≦β≦80 degrees. An integral value of a downwardly emitted light flux is 55% or more of the total integral value of an upwardly emitted light flux and the downwardly emitting light flux when predetermined diffusion light enters one surface of the plastic sheet in a direction perpendicular to the plastic sheet.

Characteristic lines A to D of lateral acceleration G-required torque T in determination of required torque T are used as switched according to increase / decrease of the absolute value of the lateral acceleration, and the direction thereof. The lines A, C used in increase of the absolute value of the lateral acceleration G are so set that the absolute value of required torque T becomes larger at the same lateral acceleration G (G≠0) than that with the lines B, D used in decrease of the absolute value of the lateral acceleration G. The difference between line A and line B (the difference between line C and line D as well) at the same lateral acceleration G is so set that the difference near the lateral acceleration of 0 is smaller than that in the other regions. Particularly, it is preferable to set the required torque T to 0 at the lateral acceleration G of 0.

When it is determined that the torque output from a power source is being automatically controlled, an ECU prohibits torque-boosting control of the power source during the torque phase when up-shifting, and performs up-shifting without performing torque-boosting control. In performing torque-boosting control, the driver demanded torque in response to the accelerator operation amount is used as the reference in setting amount of torque demanded from the power source.

The problem is to regenerate the purification ability of an exhaust gas purification device more reliably or efficiently in an exhaust gas purification system that combines a plurality of branch passages branch off from an exhaust gas passage and exhaust gas purification devices. When the purification ability of an exhaust gas purification device is regenerated, in the branch passage where the exhaust gas purification device is provided whose purification ability is to be regenerated, the opening angle of an exhaust gas flow volume control valve is set to the minimum opening angle that can reliably transport a reducing agent that is added from a reducing agent addition section. While the opening angle is maintained, the reducing agent is added. After the addition of the reducing agent is complete, the opening angle of an exhaust gas flow volume control valve is closed completely.
