Abstract: In order to collect performance information of a computer capable of executing more than one application software, collection information indicating a timing at which the performance information is to be collected is prepared by the unit of application software. This collects the performance information by referring to the collection information corresponding to the application software currently being executed by the computer. Such a manner collects the performance information at an appropriate timing suitable to the application software currently being executed.

Abstract: A magneto-optical memory element has a multi-layer construction in the order from a side first receiving light from a light-source which includes a first transparent dielectric film, a rare earth transition metal alloy film, a second transparent dielectric film and a reflective film. The magneto-optical device uses circular dichroism effect of a magnetic mater for reading information. The rare earth transition metal alloy film has a refractive index represented by n.+-..DELTA.n wherein n=3.2-3.55i and .DELTA.n=0.05-0.03i. The thickness of film is about 18 to 46 nm. The second transparent dielectric film has a refractive index of 2.0.+-.0.2 and a film thickness of 80 to 108 nm.

Abstract: A rotary type electrostatic spray coating device comprising two or more side spray coating units having two or more spray heads separated from each other at a distance larger than a width of the coating pattern of each spray head, and the same negative high voltage is simultaneously applied to all of the spray heads during a spray coating operation; thus enabling a shortening of the length of the spray coating booth, improving a flatness of the paint coating on the work pieces, and completely preventing an undesirable deposition of paint mist on the spray heads.
