A heat invasion observation apparatus that observes a heat invasion to a biological tissue, the heat invasion observation apparatus includes a fluorescence image generation circuit configured to obtain an image pickup signal generated by picking up an image of fluorescence generated from a heat invasion area in the biological tissue irradiated with exciting light for exciting a substance contained in the heat invasion area, and generate fluorescence image data based on the obtained image pickup signal. The substance contained in the heat invasion area is a substance generated when the biological tissue is thermally processed.

An endoscope apparatus that includes a storage memory storing first authentication information, a transmitter/receiver that performs communication with an endoscope, and an operational device. The operational device performs a process including acquiring the first authentication information stored in the storage memory and acquiring second authentication information stored in the endoscope connected to the endoscope apparatus from the endoscope. The operational device further performs determining whether the acquired first and second authentication information match each other, and limiting execution of at least some functions among a plurality of functions to be executed in cooperation with the endoscope in response to determining that the first and second authentication information do not match each other.

Endoscope apparatus, function limitation method, and non-transitory recording medium having program recorded therein

A seat control system for a vehicle includes a seat, a seat position changer, a door sensor, and a controller. When an occupant performs registration operation after an ignition switch is turned on, the controller is configured to: if the door sensor senses a closed state, store a current seat position of the seat as a driving position, in association with the information of the occupant; and, if the door sensor senses an open state, store the current seat position as a get-out position at a time when the occupant gets off the vehicle, in association with the information. After the registration operation is performed, the controller is configured to: change the seat position to the driving position by controlling the seat position changer before the vehicle travels; and change the seat position to the get-out position by controlling the seat position changer when the occupant gets off the vehicle.
