Abstract
A power feeding apparatus includes a power feeding stop section that stops, all together, the supply of electric power to a plurality of sensors connected to the power feeding apparatus. Each of the sensors outputs a signal including timing information indicating the timing at which the supply of electric power is stopped by the power feeding stop section. A synchronization section synchronizes the output signals of the plurality of sensors based on the timing information.
