A transmission control method comprises the steps of determining whether a shift requiring an output shaft lock-up is commanded, wherein such a shift involves a first torque transmitting mechanism either being applied or released while a second torque transmitting mechanism is held engaged. The sprinkler includes a body having an output orifice and a flange; a seal cap to seal a flow of fluid from the output orifice; and a thermally-responsive element positioned to releasably retain the seal cap and constructed to separate into a plurality of portions upon exposure to a predetermined temperature. The bolt is received by the pusher. The row decoder is placed on one side of the pixel array to designate a row address. The self orthogonal decoding circuit performing decoding for self orthogonal code repeats decoding for the self orthogonal code for a plurality of times.
