Provided is a wave-power generator capable of adjusting a natural period (natural frequency) in response to a changing wave period. The wave-power generator includes a weight that is installed in a floating body via a spring and that linearly reciprocates in response to a fluctuation of a water surface and a generator that generates power by being driven based on the linear reciprocating motion of the weight. An additional-mass body for adding a mass to the mass of the weight is further included.

Natural-frequency adjusting mechanism for wave-power generator

A power generating unit generates electric power using natural energy, plural secondary battery packs are charged with the electric power generated by the power generating unit, and the secondary battery pack as a power source to be used for an operation control of a control unit controlling the operation of a charging system is selected on the basis of a state of charge of the corresponding secondary battery pack.

Charging system, control method thereof, and program

A plurality of representative points are selected from a group of points obtained as results of shape measurement of an object, respective principal curvatures are calculated at the representative points on the basis of positional relationships between the representative point and a plurality of points existing around the representative point, a line of curvature is created on the basis of the principal curvatures of the representative points and a curved surface is generated using this line of curvature.

Curved-surface generating method and program, and three-dimensional shape processing apparatus

A computer aided design system and a computer aided design program which can greatly increase the utility of a computer aided design model, and can improve the efficiency of design and production processes, by adopting a curved surface theory which ensures the continuity of a free-form line or surface. A computer executes: a point sequence information extraction process for extracting a plurality of point sequences on a curved surface; a dividing process for generating a curved surface from the point sequences and dividing the curved surface into a predetermined number of mesh points; a first fundamental form computing process for computing coefficients of the first fundamental form; a second fundamental form computing process for computing coefficients of the second fundamental form; and a storage process for storing the point sequence information, the coefficients of the first fundamental form and the coefficients of the second fundamental form.

Computer aided design system and computer aided design program using a geometric surface model
