A voltage transform part transforms the direct-current power input to an input part. A first input and output part outputs the transformed direct-current power to a battery unit and to which direct-current power is input from the battery unit. A conversion part converts the direct-current power input to the input part into alternating-current power. A second input and output part outputs the alternating-current power to a power system or a load and to which an alternating-current power is input from the power system. The conversion part converts the alternating-current power input to the second input and output part into direct-current power. The second voltage transform part transforms the direct-current power converted by the conversion part and transforms the direct-current power input to the first input and output part. The conversion part converts the direct-current power transformed by the second voltage transform part into alternating-current power.

A solder material test apparatus includes a control unit and a storage unit which stores master data in advance in which a printing process time when a printing process is performed by using a test-sample solder material is associated with deterioration degree data of the test-sample solder material at the printing process time. The control unit includes a deterioration degree data acquiring unit which acquires deterioration degree data for indicating a deterioration degree of a test-sample solder material, a reading unit which reads a printing process time associated with deterioration degree data set as a limit value with reference to master data and reads a printing process time associated with the deterioration degree data acquired by the deterioration degree data acquiring unit, an operating unit which operates an available remaining time that indicates difference between the printing process times, and a display control unit which informs the available remaining time to a user.

Solder material test apparatus, and method of controlling the same

Provided is a solder material test method that reduces labor and time and is preferred in operation hygiene. Detected are a first intensity at a particular wave number of infrared radiation reflected from a test-sample solder material by illuminating light to the test-sample solder material and a second intensity at the particular wave number of infrared radiation reflected from a comparative-sample solder material by illuminating light to the comparative-sample solder material. Depending upon the first and second intensities detected, intensity differences and ratios are determined. Those may be absorbance differences or intensities of between an infrared radiation absorbance to test-sample solder material and an infrared radiation absorbance to comparative-sample solder material. From the intensity difference, intensity ratio, absorbance difference and absorbance ratio, the test-sample solder material is tested for deterioration degree relatively to the comparative sample.

Solder material test method and apparatus, control program and computer-readable recording medium

An apparatus for examining printed characters is disclosed. The apparatus includes a database storing standard characters, means for inputting and storing a reference character, means for acquiring an actual image of a printed character, means for calculating a similarity degree between the actual image of the printed character and an image of a standard character stored in the database, and means for retrieving a first candidate character having a highest similarity degree to the printed character from the standard characters stored in the database and comparing the first candidate character with the reference character. If the first candidate character retrieved from the database equates to the reference character, the printed character is determined to be correct. If the first candidate character retrieved from the database does not equate to the reference character, the printed character is determined to be incorrect.

Apparatus and method for examining images

A method and apparatus for observing vehicles on a road or in a parking lot comprises a pair of cameras directed toward a predetermined observation position simultaneously take pictures. A characteristic portion in each of the respective pictures is extracted. The extracted characteristic portions of the respective pictures are corresponded to the pictures, and the corresponded characteristic portion is measured in three-dimensions to extract the three-dimensional coordinates of the characteristic portions. The three-dimensional coordinates of the extracted characteristic portions are projected on a virtual perpendicular plane, and the projected data is compared with pre-determined two dimensional model data to discriminate the object.
