A control apparatus for controlling a stepped automatic transmission of a vehicle having an output shaft and an input shaft which is to be connected to an engine of the vehicle through a clutch while a shifting action is being effected in the transmission. The process of evaluating such expressions ultimately results in the construction of a finite state machine, such that the set of non-deterministic functions for describing the behavior of dynamic and relativistic systems is reduced to such a system. Molding may be located on the hinges to reinforce the hinge and may be less hard than the panel material. A result space with one or more result dimensions is defined based on the query. Two principle directions of movement are provided. The receiver is triggered so as to sample data output from the DUT during a window period, and stops taking data after the window period.
