Abstract: To provide a technology allowing for efficient use of electric power generated in a transmission base in a power sharing system that transmits electric power from the power transmission base having a photovoltaic power generation system and electrified equipment to a power receiving base. The power sharing system according to the present invention corrects a power generation predicted value based on the power generation predicted value and a power generation variation amount of a photovoltaic power generation system, and calculates a charging amount for a shared power and the electrified equipment based on a surplus generated power of the photovoltaic power generation system and an allowed charging amount for the electrified equipment.

Abstract: An object of the invention is to provide a technique capable of accurately evaluating soundness of a battery without excessively depending on a degree of progress of deterioration. A battery management device according to the invention evaluates the soundness of the battery using a first voltage change amount in a first period starting from a start time point before an inflection point of a voltage curve after completion of charging and a second voltage change amount in a second period starting from a start time point before an inflection point of a voltage curve after completion of discharging (see FIG. 5).

Abstract: To sample cooling water from a discharge pipe under vacuum, with a simple structure and without using a large-scale device. Provided is a sampling system for sampling cooling water flowing through a discharge pipe extending from a condenser to a sea. The sampling system includes: a bypass pipe branched off from the discharge pipe and joining the discharge pipe; two shutoff valves provided in the bypass pipe; a sampling pipe branched off from the bypass pipe between the two shutoff valves; a vent pipe branched off from the bypass pipe between the two shutoff valves; a sampling valve provided in the sampling pipe; and a vent valve provided in the vent pipe.

Abstract: A system includes a plurality of nodes. Each of the plurality of nodes includes a processor that executes a process. The process includes: storing logs in a memory; requesting another node other than the node in which an abnormality has occurred to send information that indicates order the logs stored in the memory are created; receiving, from the other node, information that indicates order the logs stored in the other node are created; and acquiring, based on the order indicated by the received information and the order the logs stored in the memory are created, when the other node that stores therein a log that is created newer than the logs stored in the memory is present, the log created newer than the logs stored in the memory from the other node that stores therein the log created newer than the logs stored in the memory.

Abstract: Voice feature data extracted from an input voice signal are stored in a first memory. Of the stored voice feature data, feature data having a predetermined duration defined by the output from a word boundary detection section are read out by a re-sampling section, and are stored in a second memory. The voice feature data which are normalized along the time base in this manner are supplied to a similarity computing section together with reference pattern data, and a category pattern corresponding to the resultant maximum similarity is determined in a determining section and outputted as a recognition result of the input voice.
