    Abstract: A solar cell includes: a first bus bar electrode disposed on a first end portion of the solar cell, and to which the wiring member is connected; a second bus bar electrode disposed on a second end portion of the solar cell, and to which the wiring member is connected; first finger electrodes disposed on the solar cell, electrically connected to the first bus bar electrode, and extending in a first direction toward the second bus bar electrode; second finger electrodes disposed on the solar cell, electrically connected to the second bus bar electrode, and extending in a second direction toward the first bus bar electrode. Each first finger electrode has a thickness which decreases as a distance to the second bus bar electrode decreases, and each second finger electrode has a thickness which decreases as a distance to the first bus bar electrode decreases.

    Abstract: A control system includes a master apparatus that includes a calculation unit and a communication processing unit, and one or more slave apparatuses connected to the master apparatus via a network. The communication processing unit is configured to manage cyclic transmission, on the network, of a data sequence containing data that is handled by the master apparatus and the one or more slave apparatuses. The communication processing unit is configured to start cyclic transmission of a first data sequence that contains output data for the one or more slave apparatuses in conjunction with execution of output processing in the operation unit, and to start, a predetermined time period before execution start of input processing in the operation unit, cyclic transmission of a second data sequence for obtaining information collected by the one or more slave apparatuses from the control target.

    Abstract: An analog to digital conversion device according to one or more embodiments may include sequential comparison type analog to digital converters, wherein each of the analog to digital converters converts an analog signal to a digital signal by repeating comparative voltage generation processing to generate a comparative voltage and comparison processing to compare the analog signal with the comparative voltage. Each of the analog to digital converters may include a noise notification part that generates a noise notification signal to give notification of noise production and inputs the noise notification signal to a different one of the analog to digital converters. At start of operation, based on the notification noise signal inputted from the different analog to digital converter, each of the analog to digital converters may be synchronized with the different analog to digital converter performing the comparative voltage generation processing and the comparison processing.

    Abstract: At least some of plural control target devices are classified so as to belong to one of plural groups. A control device holds identification information specifying a belonging control target device and information about a behavior of a remaining control target device in detecting an abnormality of a control target device belonging to an identical group with respect to each group. The control device detects the abnormality of each of the plural control target devices based on data exchanged with the plural control target devices in executing a user program. When the abnormality is detected in one of the plural control target devices, the control device refers to the identification information to specify an abnormal group to which the control target device in which the abnormality is detected belongs, and the control device refers to the information about the behavior to control action of the abnormal group.

    Abstract: A latching relay drive circuit includes a transistor that goes off when an operation switch is open, and a transistor connected in parallel to a capacitor and an operation coil. The transistor comes on when the transistor goes off to allow a reset current to flow into the operation coil. Accordingly, an enough reset current can be supplied, even if a power supply is shut off due to a power failure, to securely recover a single winding latching relay.

    Abstract: Disclosed is a cell analyzer that includes a flow cell through which a measurement specimen containing a body fluid flows, a light emission unit that applies light onto the measurement specimen flowing through the flow cell, a light detection unit that detects forward scattered light generated from cells in the measurement specimen to which the light is applied, an analysis unit that is programmed to analyze the cells in the body fluid based on a forward scattered light signal detected by the light detection unit, and an output unit. The analysis unit is programmed to control the output unit to output information about tumor cells in the body fluid, based on forward scattered light signal intensity and forward scattered light signal width.

    Abstract: In a steering column device, a locking shaft is disposed on a vehicle front side relative to an operating shaft for an operating lever in parallel to the operating shaft. On the locking shaft, a cam member is disposed which is configured to press a locking member against a locked member via a guiderail in such a direction as to engage the locking member with the locked member. On the other hand, on the operating shaft, a linking member is disposed which is configured to bring the cam member into a state where the locking member and the locked member are disengaged from each other when the operating shaft is moved to an unlock position.
