  • Publication number: 20240105350
    Abstract: A method of producing a light water reactor fuel assembly may include: setting conditions at least concerning an operation cycle period and burnup; setting an initial enrichment of enriched uranium; calculating excess reactivity of a light water reactor core where light water reactor fuel assemblies including the enriched uranium are burned until an end stage of a final operation cycle; determining whether a condition where excess reactivity at an end of a first operation cycle in the burnup calculation step is close to a predetermined positive value is true or not; and returning to the setting of the initial enrichment, when it is determined at the determining that the situation is not true, or deciding an enrichment of the enriched uranium when it is determined that the situation is true.

  • Patent number: 11494383
    Abstract: When a DBMS receives a suspend instruction in which a suspend completion time of query processing is a future time and between receipt of the suspend instruction and the suspend completion time, if there is a target object (at least a processing object whose execution is in progress upon receipt of the suspend instruction) whose predicted completion time is at or precedes the suspend completion time, the DBMS changes the state of the target object to a state signifying a snapshot suspend. If there is a processing object whose state signifies a snapshot suspend, the DBMS executes the processing object at or before the suspend completion time.

  • Patent number: 11176092
    Abstract: There is provided a database management system (DBMS) in order to make anonymization processing of the database efficient. When receiving a query including a conversion rule, the database management system is configured to process a relationship table in the database based on the conversion rule. At that time, the DBMS is configured to acquire data from a processing result table (result of processing the relationship table) stored in the past for tuples the number of which for each value appearing in a predetermined attribute satisfies a condition required for the anonymization processing. On the other hand, for tuples the number of which for each value appearing in a predetermined attribute does not satisfy the condition required for the anonymization processing, the DBMS is configured to acquire data from the database or from a result of processing the relationship table, the result being stored in rather than the processing result table.

  • Patent number: 11061907
    Abstract: If a query indicates joining of N (N is an integer of no less than 3) relation tables, a database management system calculates a query cost that is based on a power consumption amount for query execution, for each of a first query plan candidate in which a temporary table is generated and the temporary table is stored in a storage device unit with a first access cost, a second query plan candidate in which a temporary table is generated and the temporary table is stored in a storage device unit with a second access cost that is higher than the first access cost and a third query plan candidate in which the N relation tables are joined in a pipelined manner without generation of a temporary table, selects a relatively low-query cost query plan candidate and executes the query based on the query plan candidate.

  • Patent number: 10838718
    Abstract: There is provision of a processing device including an instruction decoder and an arithmetic unit configured to process an immediate instruction for instructing a calculation of a product of an immediate value and a constant. In response to receiving the immediate instruction, the instruction decoder generates a first shift control information and a second shift control information based on the constant. The arithmetic unit generates a first shifted value by bit-shifting the immediate value received from the instruction decoder based on the first shift control information, and a second shifted value by bit-shifting the immediate value or a complement of the immediate value based on the second shift control information. By performing an addition of the first shifted value and the second shifted value, the arithmetic unit calculates the product.

    Abstract: A device for assisting molding condition determination is used with a molding method that molds an article by feeding molten material into a mold. The device includes a learning model generating unit, an input unit, and an output unit. The learning model generating unit creates a learning model through machine learning in which a plurality of molding condition element items used to mold the article and a plurality of quality element items of the molded article are used as learning data. The learning model relates to a degree of influence of each molding condition element item on each quality element item. The input unit receives input of a subject quality element item to be checked, selected from the quality element items. The output unit outputs, using the learning model, the multiple molding condition element item that has the degree of influence on the subject quality element item.
