  • Patent number: 11230644
    Abstract: Provided are a coating film-forming composition for forming a coating film on a metal surface that exhibits excellent adhesiveness between a metal and a resin, and a surface-treated metal member having a coating film formed by using the composition. The coating film-forming composition is a solution containing a silane coupling agent having an amino group, a metallic ion and a halide ion. The metallic ion is preferably a copper ion, and a copper ion concentration in the solution is preferably 0.1 to 60 mM. The amount of Si based on the amount of Cu in the solution is preferably 30 or less, in terms of molar ratio. The pH of the solution is preferably 2.8 to 6.2.

  • Publication number: 20160224918
    Abstract: The method and system include the following steps: storing in advance a logical relation between sets of business information used for a task in the business process, receiving a revision of the business process, extracting a difference between pre-revision business process information and post-revision business process information based on the pre-stored business process information, storing the difference information as revision history information of the business process to be revised, analyzing a processing category as a processing type of the business information of a pair of task and business information as constituent elements of the post-revision business process, storing the information in a storage device, extracting influenced business processes from the business process information based on an XOR relation between the sets of business information or an XOR relation of the series of tasks, receiving a selection of a business process among the influenced business processes, and displaying the result

  • Publication number: 20150088590
    Abstract: A requirements definition aiding method causes a designer to become aware of study omissions by visualizing relations between measures and businesses. Measures that become a cause of reform of a business are previously described in relation to targets that change on business. Each business is previously described by using targets (resource, processing, and rule) handled on the business. Dependence relations and exclusive relations are previously defined as relations between measures. Relations between measures and businesses are extracted by using targets that become common in measures and businesses. A measure that is not assigned to a business, insufficient application of a measure in a dependence relation, and an application contradiction of a measure in an exclusive relation are extracted.

  • Publication number: 20130231973
    Abstract: To efficiently maintain consistency between deliverables in business analysis design, a computer performs processing of searching concatenation of predetermined words defined in each business use case description among the business use case descriptions, specifying relation among the business use cases to associate the business use cases with each other, and generating a business use case flow according to the association, processing of specifying a business function which is a higher-level of each business use case included in the business use case flow with information on business function hierarchy in a business function hierarchy storage unit, specifying concatenation of the business use cases extending across different business functions in the business use case flow, and associating the business functions with each other according to the concatenation to generate a business flow; and processing of displaying the business use case flow or the business flow generated on a display device.

  • Publication number: 20130204654
    Abstract: With an object of improving system maintainability, a system which evaluates a maintenance man-hour cost of a component quantitatively is provided, and consequently when a system designer designs a component which is a unit of a subsystem obtained by putting a function of a business application and data together, it is made possible to design the component with a minimum maintenance man-hour cost by extracting a maintenance pattern obtained by patterning an influence extension place, an amendment man-hour cost, and the like at time of maintenance on the basis of maintenance history information and evaluating a maintenance man-hour cost of the component according to the maintenance pattern.
