  • Publication number: 20260172681
    Abstract: An image capturing apparatus comprises a memory storing instructions; and a processor executing the stored instructions causing the image capturing apparatus to acquire movement information regarding movement of an image capturing apparatus, move an image capturing element or a lens performing image blur correction in a direction parallel to an image capturing plane, and perform control to move the image capturing element or the lens in accordance with the movement information during first image capturing for acquiring a still image and during a second image capturing for acquiring display video. When the image capturing apparatus performs image capturing while moving, during the first image capturing, a first drive amount is calculated to move the image capturing element or the lens, and during the second image capturing, a second drive amount is calculated to move the image capturing element or the lens.

  • Publication number: 20250337248
    Abstract: A distributed power supply integration management device manages a usage state of a power grid having distributed power supplies connected thereto, output voltages of the distributed power supplies being controlled by a virtual synchronous generator control function that implements operation characteristics of a synchronous generator in a static power supply in a simulative manner. A reception unit receives information about an operation state of each of the distributed power supplies. An operation determination unit determines an operation pattern of the distributed power supplies based on the information obtained by the reception unit. In the determined operation pattern, a control parameter determination unit determines a control parameter value for the virtual synchronous generator control, such that mutual interference of the virtual synchronous generator control in the distributed power supplies can be avoided and the power grid can operate in a stable manner.

  • Publication number: 20250125745
    Abstract: A power conversion device includes a second DC/AC conversion circuit. The second DC/AC conversion circuit operates as a voltage source for an AC grid based on a command notified from an external controller to a communication interface. A fourth control circuit generates phase information of the grid AC voltage based on an actually measured value of a grid AC voltage output from the second DC/AC conversion circuit to a power distribution grid, and calculates a target AC voltage in a shape of a sinusoidal wave using a frequency command value of the grid AC voltage from the outside and the generated phase information. The fourth control circuit controls an operation of the second DC/AC conversion circuit to compensate for a deviation between the actually measured value of the grid AC voltage and the target AC voltage.

  • Publication number: 20230211154
    Abstract: An intracardiac defibrillation catheter system includes a defibrillation catheter, a power supply device, and an electrocardiograph, in which an arithmetic processing unit of the power supply device sequentially senses an event estimated to be an R wave from an electrocardiogram input from the electrocardiograph, calculates a heart rate each time sensing is performed, and, when, after an event (Vn) is sensed and after an application execution switch is input, an event (Vn+m) is sensed, performs arithmetic processing so that a DC voltage is applied in synchronization with the event (Vn+m) only in a case where the event (Vn+m) is sensed after a lapse of a refractory period whose length corresponds to 50% of a reciprocal of a heart rate (An) at a sensing time point of the event (Vn), to control a DC power supply unit. The defibrillation catheter system can reliably avoid performing defibrillation in synchronization with a T wave without being affected by the level of the heart rate of a patient.
