Abstract: An imaging apparatus includes a control unit configured to perform a margin-based flickerless control. The margin-based flickerless control is a control where a timing control is performed, on the basis of a period of a detected flicker component and a peak timing of the flicker component, to synchronize a specific timing within an exposure duration with the peak timing and where the timing control is not performed as long as an offset amount of the specific timing falls within a margin set as an offset allowance from the peak timing.

Abstract: Based on an HT voltage value of each data point applied to a light detector and a plurality of reference spectra measured, in measurement of a reference substance performed for a plurality of times, a weighting function deriver of a spectrum measuring device derives a relation between the HT voltage value (HTi) and a degree of dispersion ?i of a plurality of spectral values as a weighting function (?=f(HT)). Moreover, a numerical evaluator of the spectrum measuring device is configured to calculate a degree of individual coincidence between a sample spectrum and the reference spectrum, acquire the degree of dispersion ?i by applying the HT voltage value at measuring the sample spectrum to the weighting function as a weighting value, and evaluate the difference between the reference spectrum and the sample spectrum based on the degree of individual coincidence to which the weighting value is applied.

Abstract: According to one embodiment, a power converter for a railroad vehicle includes a semiconductor device, a first heat receiving member, a reactor and a resistor, a second heat receiving member, a coolant circulation loop, and a heat exchanger. The semiconductor device constitutes a main circuit unit that carries out power conversion. The semiconductor device is attached to the first heat receiving member. The reactor and the resistor constitute an auxiliary circuit unit that carries out power conversion. The reactor and the resistor are attached to the second heat receiving member. The coolant circulation loop causes a coolant to flow through the first heat receiving member and the second heat receiving member. The heat exchanger allows heat exchange with respect to the coolant to occur.
