Abstract: A lighting control device that controls a lighting device includes: a brightness sensor that obtains brightness information indicating a current brightness of an illuminated surface; a storage that stores a brightness target value for the illuminated surface; a controller; a receiver via which the controller receives an energy-saving signal; and a transmitter that transmits, to the lighting device, a control signal generated by the controller. When the energy-saving signal is not being received, the controller determines a dimming rate for the lighting device based on the brightness target value and the brightness information. When the energy-saving signal is being received, the controller determines an energy-saving brightness target value smaller than the brightness target value by multiplying the brightness target value by a predetermined rate and determines an energy-saving dimming rate for the lighting device based on the energy-saving brightness target value and the brightness information.

Abstract: In a converter circuit of an electric power conversion device, an adjustment portion divides a voltage of a battery input to a semiconductor module, by a first capacity element and a second capacity element that are connected in series to each other. Then, a middle point between the first capacity element and the second capacity element is connected to a cooler to fix a potential thereof. The electric power conversion device can ensure that a waveform of a surge voltage that is generated on a creepage surface between a lead frame terminal and the cooler has a negative voltage range (a range where an offset voltage is applied).

Abstract: A main line movable rail is disposed between a near-side main line rail and a forward-side main line rail which are disposed as a center guide rail so as to sandwich a branching section. The main line movable rail is supported so as to swing at the center of a first end at a position at which the first end is continuous to the forward-side main line rail. A locking action mechanism allows a second end of the main line movable rail to be engaged with an engagement member, thereby locking the second end so as not to undergo displacement at a guide position at which the second end of the main line movable rail is continuous to the near-side main line rail.
