The brake control device generates a target pattern for at least one of speed and acceleration of the car and controls braking force of the brake device such that the movement of the car follows the target pattern.

Abstract: A car is suspended by suspension means and raised and lowered by means of a hoisting machine. Electric power supplied to a motor of the hoisting machine is controlled by an electric power converter. The electric power converter is controlled by means of a control apparatus.

Abstract: A PDP can be driven at low voltage while having a charge retention property in a protection layer, and has favorable image display properties. Additionally, the PDP prevents the occurrence of discharge delay and realizes high-quality image display by performing favorable high-speed driving in a high definition PDP.

Abstract: A head controller 2 reads out adjustment data from a ROM 3 immediately after a power-on operation. The adjustment data is prepared for adjusting unevenness of light emission from LEDs in a LED head 5. A buffer memory 4 stores the read adjustment data. The head controller 2 reads the adjustment data from the buffer memory 4 with high data transfer rate, and obtains bitmap data from a frame memory or the like (not shown). The head controller 2 sends the read bitmap data and the adjustment data to an anode driver 51. The head controller 2 sends a strobe signal to the anode driver 51 and a cathode driver 53. The anode driver 51 adjusts ampere of supplied currents (i.e. drive signals corresponding to the bitmap data) from the head controller 2, in accordance with the received adjustment data in response to the reception of the strobe signal. The adjusted drive signals are sent to LED array chips 52.
