In a torque assisted automated MT, an assist clutch is controlled to ensure that the transmission torque increase rate is reduced when disengaging a dog clutch while engaging the assist clutch. A constant off-time period is provided to set the off-time to be constant, and an on-time period to determine the on-time is derived by monitoring the output voltage of the converter. A 1st display area displays an image of a portion containing a desired observing or working position of the digitized data stored in the 1st storage device. Following imaging, the surface of the imaged imageable is contacted with an aqueous solution comprising 0. The resulting transistor may comprise a trimmed polysilicon portion of a gate conductor, wherein the trimming occurred by a film growth method chosen from among selective surface oxidation and selective surface nitridation.
