  • Publication number: 20220126387
    Abstract: The present invention pertains to a brazing method and a brazing apparatus. This brazing method comprises: a brazing material supply step for supplying a brazing material to a to-be-welded part; and a laser irradiation step for irradiating the brazing material having been supplied to the to-be-welded part with a laser beam while moving the laser beam along a brazing direction to form a welding bead. In the laser irradiation step, a gas is injected toward an area to be injected with gas, which is an area encompassing the welding bead located rearward of a laser-irradiated portion of the brazing material in the brazing direction, from above said area or from a front side of said area in the brazing direction.

  • Patent number: 10798149
    Abstract: When a part already transmitted to an object storage is updated by a file system management section while a plurality of parts are being transmitted to the object storage, a file transfer section requests the object storage to generate a temporary object that is a temporarily generated object containing the transmitted and updated part by combining the parts transmitted before update, re-splits a file into a plurality of parts so that the transmitted and updated data and not-transmitted data are handled as parts different from transmitted and not-updated data, and transmits the part containing the transmitted and updated data or the part containing the not-transmitted data to the object storage.

  • Patent number: 10657105
    Abstract: A computer system for sharing objects comprises multiple front-end nodes and a back-end node for providing a namespace shared by the front-end nodes. A first front-end node that is any one of the front-end nodes manages local-lock counts for each of objects managed by the first front-end node. The local-lock count is the number of locks taken by operations to the objects including the directory and sub-objects thereof. Every time receiving a request for processing a target object from a client, the front-end node requests the back-end node to lock a parent directory of the target object if the parent directory has not been locked by the back-end node. The front-end node sends a response of the received request to the client regardless of whether or not the parent directory has been unlocked by the back-end node. If the local-lock count of the parent directory is zero, the first front-end node requests the back-end node to unlock the parent directory.

  • Patent number: 10275316
    Abstract: A file on file storage is archived as an object on object storage. In this case, a correspondence between UUID which is an identifier of the object and a path or an inode number which is an identifier of the file is recorded. This is referred to as correlation between the file and the object. However, because of changing of the path due to the renaming of the file, or changing of the inode number due to overwriting of the file, the correlation is likely to be lost. The invention provides a technique that restores the lost correlation and causes the correlation between the file and the object to be maintained.

  • Patent number: 9721331
    Abstract: In the present invention, subband signals are obtained by performing multiresolution decomposition on image data by using a broad-sense pinwheel framelet that is a set of an approximate filter with no orientation and a plurality of detail filters with respective orientations, and that has a degree. When an image is reconstructed by summing the obtained subband signals, the reconstructed image data is generated by attenuating or amplifying a subband signal corresponding to at least one of filters that have predetermined frequency characteristics and/or a predetermined orientation among the filters.

  • Publication number: 20170185605
    Abstract: A file server apparatus includes a memory which stores a program for controlling storage of data of a file in a storage apparatus, and a processor which executes the program. The processor manages a capacity of a storage area of an archive system in which a file stored in the storage apparatus is archived and manages a used capacity of the storage area. When receiving a write request of a file, the processor calculates a used capacity of the storage area of the archive system where a file related to the write request is archived and determines whether or not the file related to the write request can be archived in the archive system based on the capacity of the storage area of the archive system and the calculated used capacity. When determining that archiving cannot be performed, the processor notifies the host computer of an error.

  • Patent number: 9501241
    Abstract: A storage system comprises a second NAS storage apparatus comprising a processor and a storage medium and a third NAS storage apparatus for migrating an object managed by a first NAS storage apparatus. The processor stores path information of an object for which migration has started after including the path information in object management information, in the storage medium prior to migrating the object entity to the third NAS storage apparatus. The processor, after receiving the object entity from the first NAS storage apparatus and migrating the object entity to the third NAS storage apparatus, stores the third NAS storage apparatus path information to the object entity in the object management information, and reflects the management information in the third NAS storage apparatus.

  • Patent number: 9426333
    Abstract: According to the present invention, multiresolution decomposition is performed on a color component of image data by using a wavelet frame with orientation selectivity or a filter bank with orientation selectivity and subband signals are obtained; and when reconstructing an image by summing the obtained subband signals, coefficient processing is performed, between a decomposition phase and a synthesis phase in the multiresolution decomposition, on decomposition detail coefficients that are output from the decomposition phase such that the larger the energy of the decomposition detail coefficients is, the more small values are further reduced, and the smaller the energy of the decomposition detail coefficients is, the more small values are increased, or vise versa.
