The position information acquisition server has a position information table in which second radio wave intensities of radio waves received from the plurality of access points are associated with position information, and a radio-wave-intensity/position conversion unit for retrieving second radio wave intensities corresponding to the received first radio wave intensities, and acquiring position information corresponding to the retrieved second radio wave intensities.

Abstract: The shower head contains a nozzle body and a handle. The nozzle body contains a connecting rod, a support disc, and a container. The container is rotated by water from the handle and its stored liquid soap, essence, or lotion is released by centrifugal force. Water mixed with soap or essence is then ejected from the nozzle head. When the connecting rod is twisted towards a direction, the container is prevented by the support disc from contacting with water and therefore pure water is ejected from the nozzle head. A special flow path is provided in the handle. As water flows through handle, the speed of the water increases and, due to the Venturi effect, outside air is sucked into the handle and mixed with the water, thereby producing a large number of tiny bubbles. The shower head therefore provides a significantly enhanced cleaning effect.

Abstract: Disclosed is a time-series management device capable of filtering time-series data having a possibility of matching a specified search pattern and reading in the data from a storage device when performing a time-series analysis. A data accumulation unit (120) creates a time-series index having a feature value of a data series calculated at a specific regular time interval. In addition, a data search unit (130) makes a decision as to the feature value for each regular time interval included in the time-series index using an evaluation formula of a specified search condition, identifies a time period of a complying data series group, and performs a time-series analysis for only the data series of the identified time period.

Abstract: The purpose of the invention is to provide a log management computer that shortens log search time while reducing log storage volume. The log management computer manages a log acquired from a log generating system that generates the log, which is an operation record. The log management computer is characterized by: extracting from a log message contained in the log, both a common portion that is common with another log message and a different portion that is different from another log message; storing the extracted common portion in common portion information of a storage area; storing the extracted different portion in different portion information of the storage area; and if a search request containing a search condition is received, searching for a log message that matches the search condition.

Abstract: A method for executing component-based software includes creating a first relation between a first identifier identifying a first software component and an interface for a first container created for the first component, starting a second component defined as a substitution component for the first component when a replacement condition is met, creating a second relation between a second identifier identifying the second component and an interface for a second container created for the second component when starting the second component, changing the first identifier to the second identifier in the first relation and the second identifier to the first identifier in the second relation when starting the second component, using the first component to process requests to the first component received prior to completion of starting the second component, and using the second component to execute requests to the first component newly received after completion of starting the second component.

Abstract: An information processing system, a data update method and a data update program are disclosed. In a data base system of master-slave configuration, the update result can be accessed also on slave side with the access request immediately after the particular update. The data base system DBS includes a master DB computer and at least a slave DB computer. The slave DB computer judges from the count on an update counter table whether the update log received from the master DB computer is to be reflected in a duplicate data base or not. Thus, the lost update problem is solved while at the same time realizing a high-speed process.

Abstract: The phylogeny of twelve Campylobacter species was determined based on partial (1020-bp) gyrB gene sequences. Methods have been described for detection and speciation of Campylobacter, including 16S rRNA sequence analysis. However, gyrB provides a better resolution than the 16S rDNA gene for Campylobacter species with interspecies sequence similarities ranging from 58.3 to 89.2% compared to those reported for the 16S rRNA gene (ranging from 89 to 99%). A universal primer set, designed to amplify a 960-bp fragment of the gyrB gene in Campylobacter spp., was developed and used for (PCR-RFLP) of 19 strains representing twelve Campylobacter species and resulted in unique digest patterns for all twelve Campylobacter species. PCR assays for amplification of regions of the gyrB gene specific for each Campylobacter species were also developed. Using these PCR and PCR-RFLP methods results in unambiguous identification of the majority of Campylobacter species.
