Abstract: A plant operating state analysis system includes a data collector which is connected to both a control network and a monitoring network and which collects both control network data and monitoring screen video data. The data collector includes a synchronization processing unit and a data display processing unit. The synchronization processing unit synchronizes the control network data and the monitoring screen video data by adding a delay time due to transmission through the monitoring network, which includes an encoding time spent by a video capturer, to the time at which the control network data has been collected. The data display processing unit reproduces and displays, on a screen, the control network data and monitoring screen video data that are synchronized by the synchronization processing unit.

Abstract: An input device includes a deformable input surface and a force sensing layer disposed beneath the deformable input surface. The force sensing layer includes a plurality of force sensors to detect forces exerted by an input object on the deformable input surface. A force transfer layer is disposed between the deformable input surface and the force sensing layer. The force transfer layer is configured to transmit a force exerted by the input object in a first region of the deformable input surface to one of the force sensors coinciding with a first area of the force sensing layer, and to distribute a force exerted by the input object in a second region of the deformable input surface to one or more of the force sensors coinciding with a second area of the force sensing layer, wherein the second area of the force sensing layer is larger than the first area.

Abstract: An electric power control apparatus, an electric power control method, and an electric power feeding system by which the maximum operating point of a generating element such as a solar battery can be controlled to be maintained, and electric power loss can be avoided. The electric power control apparatus is provided with an electric power path switch unit to which a plurality of generating elements can be connected, and a voltage conversion unit that converts a voltage level which is generated by the generating elements and supplied via the electric power path switch unit. The electric power path switch unit includes a first connection switching function which switches between series connection and parallel connection for the plurality of generating elements, and a second connection switching function which switches between connected and non-connected to an input side of the voltage conversion unit for the generating elements connected in series or parallel.
