Abstract: A laser tracking device includes an adjustment device, a telescope, and a drive device. The adjustment device modifies the emission direction of first light wave. The telescope emits the first light wave in the emission direction modified by the adjustment device. The drive device rotates the telescope based on a predicted path of a moving body. The adjustment device provides more precision in modifying the emission direction of the first light wave than in the drive device rotating the telescope. Further, the adjustment device modifies the emission direction to offset the modification of the emission direction caused by the rotation of the telescope from a time when a tracking start condition is satisfied until the moving body is detected.

Abstract: A storage cell type X-ray apparatus uses a storage cell as its power source and operates so that the dc voltage of the power source is converted to an ac voltage, this ac voltage is elevated to a higher voltage and rectified to obtain a high dc voltage. The resulting voltage is applied to an X-ray tube, to cause this X-ray tube to emit X-rays. This apparatus includes means for stabilizing the voltage applied to the X-ray tube.
