Abstract: The present invention provides a PTO switch mode control device that is capable of performing appropriate idle shutdown when an engine is started, even in the case where an ignition switch is turned ON with a PTO switch ON when the engine is stopped. The PTO switch mode control device has: an ignition switch 3 that is turned ON or OFF to start and stop an engine 1; a PTO switch 4 that is turned ON or OFF to select switch a PTO mode that permits power takeoff, and an inactive mode that does not permit the power takeoff; and an ECU 2 that executes idle shutdown to stop the engine 1 when the engine 1 continuously idles for a predetermined time period, except for the PTO mode state. The ECU 2 functions to establish the inactive mode even when the PTO switch 4 is ON, when the ignition switch 3 is turned ON while the PTO switch 4 is ON, and subsequently establish the PTO mode when the PTO switch is switched from OFF to ON.

Abstract: When a computer (C1) fails, a failed computer search process (FP) that operates on the computer (C1) is started by another computer such as a computer (C2). When the search process (FP) detects the failed computer (C1), the search process (FP) selects for a provisioning computer (C5) using a provisioning computer search unit (PP2). A boot image setting unit (BS2) selects a storage device (D1) which stores a boot image that has been processed by the failed computer (C1). A boot unit (BB2) boots the selected provisioning computer (C5) using the boot image stored in the selected storage device (D1).

Abstract: Based on the load of all load distribution target computers including Web server computers (11-1 to 11-6), a server configuration management unit (151) determines the number of provisioning node (PN) computers, use of which as load distribution target computers is to be started, or use of which as load distribution target computers is to be ended. A PN management unit (152) determines computers, the use of which is to be started or ended. The determined computers are included in PN computers (15-1 to 15-4). A PN start/stop unit (153) starts or stops the determined computers. A setting change unit (154) controls a load distributing device (12) so that the determined computers are included in or excluded from target computers of load distribution by the load distributing device (12).

Abstract: An optical fiber tape having low polarization mode dispersion characteristics and applied to a dense wavelength multiplex (DWDM) transmission system of a transmission rate from several Gb/s to several tens of Gb/S. We have found out that the polarization mode dispersion of an optical fiber tape relates to the loss tangent (tan ?) determined when the dynamic viscoelasticity is measured, and that particularly, if the loss tangent of when a dispersion shift fiber is used is made 0.080 or more and the loss tangent of when a single mode optical fiber is used is made 0.042 or more, the polarization mode coefficient of dispersion (PMD) is reduced to 0.3 ps/?km preferable to realize a DWDM transmission system.
