  • Publication number: 20180278170
    Abstract: A power generation system in an embodiment includes a power generator, a rectifying and smoothing circuit, a converter, a voltage measurement unit, and a switch. The power generator outputs AC power. The rectifying and smoothing circuit converts the AC power to DC power and smooths the DC power. The voltage measurement unit measures an average voltage of the AC power or a voltage of the smoothed DC power. The converter transforms the smoothed DC power. The switch is disposed between the rectifying and smoothing circuit and the converter, and becomes an ON state when the measured voltage becomes a reference voltage or higher.

  • Publication number: 20180252987
    Abstract: An imaging apparatus is provided, including a blade-driving device and a driving control unit which drives the front curtain actuator and the rear curtain actuator. The front curtain and the rear curtain are positioned at the open position at a time of start and termination of imaging, in which the front curtain moves from the closing position to the open position, and the rear curtain moves from the open position to the closing position, thereby performing an exposure operation. During consecutive photographing, the front curtain positioned at the closing position is moved once in a direction of the open position and is then returned to the closing position after the rear curtain is moved to the open position after termination of the exposure operation, and before a subsequent exposure operation is performed.
