An embodiment of the present invention improves the fabrication and operational characteristics of a type-II superlattice material. Further, when the counted number is N or more, the information processing device outputs a plurality of data having a predetermined relation to an output destination. An exhaust tube can be connected to the luminaire and the air moving device to facilitate air flow of the cooling air between the luminaire and the air moving device. The hinged housing permits the apparatus to couple to a portion of a cable or a portion of a conduit without splicing the cable or the conduit or removing the cable. The device can, for example, capture the orientation of a plurality of polyaxial screws during spinal surgery such that the screws can be returned to the same orientation after manipulation to correct a spinal deformity, etc. When the optical probe 9 is connected to an observing device 6, probe information detecting means included in the observing device 6 automatically detects the probe information held in the optical probe.
