  • Patent number: 10624991
    Abstract: The method for producing a three-dimensional artificial tissue is a method in which a three-dimensional artificial tissue extending in a predetermined direction is produced. The method includes: preparing a device including a culture tank having a culturing space surrounded by sidewalls, and a flow channel-forming member that penetrates through the sidewalls that face each other and is suspended in the culturing space along a predetermined direction; culturing cells in the culturing space and thereby forming a three-dimensional artificial tissue through which the flow channel-forming member penetrates; and removing the flow channel-forming member from the three-dimensional artificial tissue and thereby forming a perfusion flow channel that penetrates through the three-dimensional artificial tissue.

  • Publication number: 20170017403
    Abstract: A storage system creates an HA configuration in a virtual storage composed of resources of first and second storage subsystems. A user of the virtual storage selects a replication destination volume (second logical volume) of a first logical volume of the first storage subsystem that the user wishes to duplicate from the second storage. At this time, only a logical volume not recognized from a host is selectable as the second logical volume. When data duplication between the first logical volume and the second logical volume is started, the second storage subsystem sets an identification number of the second logical volume to be the same as the identification number of the first logical volume. Thereafter, at the point of time when duplication is completed, the second storage changes the setting of the second logical volume so that the second logical volume can be recognized from the host.
