Abstract: The present invention relates to a microscope of which visibility, controllability and operability can be improved. In the microscope, an optical path and optical path of an image forming system are set so as to be perpendicular to each other when viewed from the top. In other words, in this microscope, there exists an ocular optical system that guides light, which propagates the optical path to optical path of the image forming system, to a user. The optical path is formed in a direction perpendicular to a direction of the light from a sample emitted from the ocular optical system to the user. The present invention can be applied to an inverted microscope.

Abstract: An estimation unit estimates the amount of power consumption for each unit period of time. A rechargeable battery control unit controls the rechargeable battery such that an exceeding amount of power worth the amount of power exceeding a target amount of power during a unit period of time is charged into the battery, and power is discharged from the battery during a time zone wherein the target amount of power is exceeded, on the basis of the result of the estimation. When the battery needs to be charged in excess of the upper-limit value, the control unit charges the battery up to the upper-limit value during a time zone wherein the amount of power consumption estimated is light, and the amount of power that exceeds the upper-limit value is charged during a time zone that is close to the time zone wherein the target amount of power is exceeded.

Abstract: A cooling system is provided in which an integrated controller 10 controls the compressor for compressing a refrigerant and at least one constituent device which is a separate device from the compressor and that constitutes a refrigerant circulation circuit together with the compressor. The integrated controller 10 has a control data generation unit 16 that controls the compressor using a compressor sensor for detecting a first physical value, which is a physical value of the refrigerant at the time of normal operations, and an abnormality detection unit 13 for detecting an abnormality of the compressor sensor. The control data generation unit 16 controls the compressor using a constituent device sensor for detecting a second physical value that is a physical value having a close correlation with the first physical value in place of the compressor sensor when the abnormality was detected by the abnormality detection unit 13.

Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a control system, an integrated control apparatus, and a control program that are capable of well maintaining freshness and quality of food articles, by reducing time for performing a recovery operation following a frost removing operation of cooling devices. In response to a start of the frost removing operation of a first showcase, an integrated control apparatus provides a second device controller (device control unit) with a “lower limit cooling instruction (increase instruction)” to increase the refrigerant supplied to a second showcase to an amount larger than that before the frost removing operation starts. In response to the “lower limit cooling instruction (increase instruction),” the second device controller (device control unit) increases the amount of the refrigerant supplied to the second showcase.

Abstract: A demand control device includes a storing unit (21) arranged to store performance data of a power consumption accumulated value by environmental condition in a power database (24), and a predicted value calculating unit (21) arranged to, at a start of a demand time period, calculate a predicted value of the power consumption accumulated value for the demand time period based on the performance data stored in the power database (24). Each of the environmental conditions is specified by a time zone and an environmental condition other than the time zone. The predicted value calculating unit (21) extracts the performance data that the time zone corresponds to this demand time period and that the environmental condition other than the time zone coincides with the current environmental condition, from the power database (24) and then calculates the predicted value of the power consumption accumulated value for this demand time period based on the performance data thus extracted.
