Abstract: A solar power generating system employing a solar battery includes a two-dimensional reflector comprising a holder and a sheet-like first solar battery held on the holder. The sheet forms a partially absorptive and partially reflective surface of the reflector. The two-dimensional reflector has a focal line and a mirror axis plane extending along the direction of its length. The system further includes a sun-tracking unit to detect the direction of the sun and to control the two-dimensional reflector to point the mirror axis plane toward the sun. The system further includes a thermally conductive tube extending along the focal line of the two-dimensional reflector, a second solar battery held on an outer surface of the tube with its photo-sensitive surface facing outward, and a cooling and heat supplying unit for circulating fluid through the tube and for supplying obtained heat externally.

Abstract: A waveform display apparatus is realized in which it is easy to distinguish whether waveform data is being compressed and displayed under a cursor. The present invention adds an improvement to a waveform display apparatus, in which the waveform data of a waveform that is measured is displayed as a waveform in a display device and the cursor for waveform analysis is displayed. This apparatus further provides an icon display device that displays in a display device an icon that shows whether the waveform data is compressed and displayed in the time series direction.
