  • Patent number: 11797556
    Abstract: Each of a plurality of servers includes a shared information storage region for storing information to be shared with other servers. The servers operate so as to match data of the shared information storage regions with each other. A first server manages a first local database. A second server generates query information for accessing the first local database, and stores the query information in the shared information storage region of the second server. The first server acquires the query information from the shared information storage region of the first server, and stores the result with respect to the query information in the shared information storage region of the first server. The second server acquires the result from the shared information storage region of the second server.

  • Patent number: 11634474
    Abstract: Disclosed are a human serum albumin mutant that can be linked to a physiologically active protein to increase the stability of the protein in the blood, as well as a resulting protein produced by linking with the mutant. The protein produced by linking with the mutant consists of a human serum albumin mutant comprising the amino acid sequence set forth as SEQ ID NO:3 or an amino acid sequence that, in comparison with it, lacks not more than 10 amino acid residues and/or has not more than 10 amino acid residues replaced, with the proviso that the asparagine residue occurring at position 318 and the threonine at position 320 from the N-terminus of the amino acid sequence set forth as SEQ ID NO:3 are preserved and linked by peptide bonds via a single amino acid residue (X) except proline placed between those two amino acid residues, and a physiologically active protein linked to the mutant.

  • Patent number: 11539788
    Abstract: Software that implements processing executed through coordination between multiple hubs is efficiently developed. An information processing system comprises a plurality of AP execution devices that are information processing apparatuses provided in each of a plurality of hubs to execute AP software. Each of the AP execution devices stores common AP software that executes the same processing blocks in the same order. The AP software includes transfer processing blocks implementing processing to coordinate processing of the processing blocks executed by a first one of the AP execution devices in a first one of the hubs with a second one of the AP execution devices in a second one of the hubs. Once the processing reaches a first one of the transfer processing blocks during sequential execution of the processing blocks of the AP software, the first AP execution device transmits a coordination start message notifying of start of the coordination, to the second AP execution device.

  • Patent number: 10298715
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a distributed processing system having a master node and a plurality of worker nodes. Each worker node has an assigned identifier. A worker node caches in its own memory first output data, which is the result of the execution of a first task, and copies said first output data to another worker node. The master node selects, on the basis of the identifier information of the first worker node, a worker node to which to assign a second task, wherein the first output data is used as input data.
