Abstract: A power controller of a linear actuator 10 in a docking device 1 including a six-axis parallel link mechanism 5, wherein a motor driver 11 configured to control rotation speed of a motor M of the linear actuator 10 on the basis of a load produced on the link 4 includes a speed controlling unit 31 that outputs a current command, a current controlling unit 32 that converts the current command to a voltage command, and a current command limiter 33 that limits the current command of the speed controlling unit 31 so that power consumption per one linear actuator 10 is one sixth or less of the power supply capacity for the motor power, thus allowing for mounting the docking device 1 even for a spacecraft with a small power supply capacity, without requiring modification of the power supply capacity.

Abstract: An object of the present disclosure is to improve setting accuracy of site regions in brain image data. A brain image data processing apparatus 100 includes: a brain image data reading unit for reading brain image data in which the site regions for identifying each site are set at positions corresponding to each site of a brain; a probability calculation unit for calculating a probability that each pixel is included in each site region based on a distance between each pixel and each site region for each pixel not included in any site region in the brain image data read by the brain image data reading unit; and a determination unit for determining which site region each pixel belongs to, based on the probability calculated by the probability calculation unit.

Abstract: The object of the present invention is to assess the driving aptitude of a target person. Provided is a driving aptitude assessment apparatus 200 including: functional impairment degree assessment means configured to assess the degree of functional impairment of a brain of a target person on the basis of test result information indicating a result of a neuropsychological test administered to the target person and head image data obtained by tomography of a head of the target person; and driving aptitude assessment means configured to assess the driving aptitude of the target person on the basis of an assessment result by the functional impairment degree assessment means.
