Abstract: The invention relates to a heating resistance flow rate measuring apparatus which can use a power source of an ECU (42) in an automobile without requiring an expensive protective circuit and regulator. Heating of temperature detecting resistors (3, 4, 7, 8) themselves causes temperature changes on the windward and leeward sides, and these temperature changes depend on the amounts of heat generated by the temperature detecting resistors (3, 4, 7, 8). The amounts of heat generated by the temperature detecting resistors (3, 4, 7, 8) depend on a voltage value of the ECU power source applied to the temperature detecting resistors (3, 4, 7, 8), and an error is caused in a sensor output depending on a variation in the voltage of the ECU power source. Based on the finding that suppressing the amount of heat generated by the temperature detecting resistors (3, 4, 7, 8) is effective in avoiding the sensor output error caused depending on a variation in the output voltage of the ECU power source, means for suppressing the amount of heat generated by the temperature detecting resistors (3, 4, 7, 8) is disposed.

Abstract: A suspicious individual can be detected more accurately. A face detecting unit detects a face image of an approaching individual from a monitor image, and a characteristic amount detecting unit detects the characteristic amount of the approaching individual from the face image. A collating unit identifies an approaching individual by collating the characteristic amount of the approaching individual with the characteristic amount of an authorized individual which is recorded in an authorized individual information recording unit and the characteristic amount of a previously detected individual which is recorded in an approach information recording unit. An approaching activity detecting unit and an abnormal activity detecting unit compute the degree of suspiciousness of the approaching individual on the basis of the frequency with which the approaching individual approaches a target of monitoring, time at which the approaching individual approaches a target of monitoring, distance by which the approaching individual approaches a target of monitoring, and the like. A suspiciousness degree judgment unit judges whether the approaching individual is a suspicious individual or not, on the basis the degree of suspiciousness.
