Abstract: An engine start abnormality diagnosis apparatus determines a cause of a long cranking abnormality in which, when an engine including cylinders is started, start of the engine is not completed even if a cranking period is equal to or greater than a predetermined time. The engine start abnormality diagnosis apparatus includes a rotation speed detector and an abnormality diagnosis processor. The rotation speed detector detects a rotation speed of a crankshaft of the engine when at least one of the cylinders is in a latter stage of a compression stroke. The abnormality diagnosis processor determines that the cause of the long cranking abnormality is an electric system abnormality when the rotation speed is less than a predetermined threshold, and determines that the cause of the long cranking abnormality is a combustion abnormality when the rotation speed is equal to or greater than the threshold.

Abstract: An imaging apparatus having no synchronization support function by a time code and to cut down a system cost, in synchronizing respective moving images in the case of outputting and displaying moving images input from a plurality of imaging apparatuses through network transmission. A vertical synchronization signal input from a particular imaging apparatus among a plurality of imaging apparatuses is used as a reference to select frame image data items from moving image data input from the plurality of imaging apparatuses, and the selected frame image data items are integrated into a single stream and sent. Even in a case where the plurality of imaging apparatuses captures videos asynchronously, it becomes possible to select, from the respective moving images, frame images with a small imaging timing difference on the basis of the vertical synchronization signal of the particular imaging apparatus.
