Abstract: An information asset management system in a network environment includes a monitoring program 11 that monitors operation events performed by users and creates terminal logs 12, a terminal log collection program 21 that stores an integrated log 22 created by collecting the terminal logs 12, and a correlation analysis program 31 that analyzes the whereabouts of information assets using the integrated log 22. When the user exports an information asset from the network environment and when the user imports the information asset into the network environment, the monitoring program 11 monitors these export and import events including feature values of the information assets. The correlation analysis program 31 compares a pre-export feature value of each information asset with a post-import feature value of each information asset to determine whether the information assets are identical and reports a list of information assets in the organization.

Abstract: A fluid control valve includes a housing having a seat ring and a plate spring, a butterfly valve, and a valve shaft. The valve shaft has a plane-surface portion and a cam portion, which are arranged adjacent to each other. The fluid control valve is configured such that when an opening degree of the butterfly valve is a first valve opening degree or more, the cam portion is brought into sliding contact with the seat ring and the seat ring is pushed to a location radially outward of a moving path of the butterfly valve against elastic force of the plate spring. Thus, occurrence of uneven wear on a seat surface of the seat ring can be suppressed.

Abstract: In an information control flow system, when a process reads a file with a second attribute after being through for reading of a file with a first attribute, when the second attribute is higher in level than the first attribute, a user is allowed to select first control with which the file with the second attribute is not made open, second control with which the file with the second attribute is made open after the file with the first attribute is closed, or third control with which the file with the second attribute is made open after the file with the first attribute is opened again for read-only purpose. When the user selects the first control, the first attribute is provided to a file to be written, and when the user selects the second or third control, the second attribute is provided to a file to be written.

Abstract: An agent program 141 stores a log file in a storage device 150. By controlling an access to the storage device 150 according to volume management information 153, the storage device 150 prevents the log file from being updated. A manager program 142 communicates with the agent program 141 to collect the log file. On the completion of the log collection, the manager program 142 adds a signature to a log deletion message by use of a security chip 105. Then, the agent program 141 verifies the signature by use of a security chip 104 to judge that a log deletion request is valid. After that, the volume management information 153 which has been used to protect the log file is rewritten so that the protection is removed.

Abstract: A key managing system including information transmitting apparatus which transmits a date and time when secrecy protection is ended to a key controlling apparatus. The key controlling apparatus searches a key control table for an encryption key associated with a decryption key and the date and time. The key controlling apparatus transmits an encryption key from the search to the information transmitting apparatus. The key controlling apparatus discloses a decryption key for the present date and time to an information receiving apparatus in response to a request for a decryption key. The information transmitting apparatus, upon receipt of the encryption key, encrypts information using the encryption key and transmits the encrypted information to the information receiving apparatus. The information receiving apparatus, for the present date and time matching with the date and time, acquires a disclosed decryption key and decrypts the encrypted information by using the decryption key.
