Abstract: A retrieval apparatus reads information that identifies a user, information about any one of an action performed on the user and an action performed by the user, and date and time information from data base, generates a data string that is obtained by combining the information that identifies a user, the information about any one of an action performed on the user and an action performed by the user, and the date and time information, for a plurality of data records that are stored in the database, stores the data strings in a memory, accepts specification of information that identifies a user, a retrieval target period, and information about an action of the user and retrieves a data string corresponding to the specification from among the data strings stored in the memory.

Abstract: A recording medium having stored therein a program causes a computer to execute a process. The process includes determining keyword information that corresponds to description information given in an electronic health record read from an electronic health record storage in accordance with a master storage that stores keyword information of a target and code information that identifies the target in association with each other, reading the code information that corresponds to the determined keyword information from the master storage, and generating index information that corresponds to the read electronic health record by associating the identification information that corresponds to the read electronic health record with each of the determined keyword information and the read code information.

Abstract: A medical information analysis apparatus includes a specifying unit and an extraction unit. The specifying unit specifies a second patient whose medical record is similar to that of a first patient with reference to the medical records of a plurality of patients. The extraction unit extracts information from the medical record of the second patient.

Abstract: Disclosed is a two-liquid type urethane paint composition having a main agent which includes a hydroxyl group-containing resin (A), a hydrolyzable ester compound (B) and an alcohol-based solvent (C); and a curing agent which includes a polyisocyanate compound (D). The composition is made by mixing together the main agent and the curing agent, wherein the (B) component and the (C) component are included in the main agent in amounts from 2 to 35 parts by mass as effective component of the hydrolyzable ester compound (B) and from 2 to 10 parts by mass of the alcohol-based solvent (C) per 100 parts by mass of solid fraction of the hydroxyl group-containing resin (A), and the hydroxyl groups of the hydroxyl group-containing resin (A) and the functional groups of the polyisocyanate compound (D) are mixed in proportions of from 0.5 to 1.5 as the mol ratio of NCO/OH.

Abstract: Embodiments of the invention provide a retaining ring attaching device capable of improving assembling efficiency and a data storage device fabricating method. In one embodiment, a C ring attaching device included in a hard disk drive assembling apparatus expands a C ring, puts the expanded C ring on a pivot, and contracts the C ring on the pivot. The C ring attaching device moves chuck arms holding the C ring such that the C ring is moved so that a gap in the C ring moves away from the pivot while the C ring is being contracted.

Abstract: A fail safe level shifter assures that, when an input signal voltage level falls below a given threshold voltage, the output is either a constant high or no signal at all. Additionally, a range of digital high signals having a voltage less than the given threshold voltage may be shifted by the fail safe level shifter. The fail safe level shifter expands the width of an N-MOS channel of conventional level shifters by placing two MOS switches in parallel. The resultant resistance allows the fail safe level shifter to register those high signals which are below the given threshold voltage. One-half of the level shifter has a N-MOS channel about one-half the width of a N-MOS channel in the other half of the level shifter. Therefore, the narrower half is unable to fully activate given the low input signals received. The fail safe level shifter thus assures that the output will be a constant high.
