Publication number: 20180064397Abstract: A wearable device attached to a subject includes an accelerometer that measures acceleration information, and a biological sensor that measures biological signal information of the subject. From the measured acceleration information and biological signal information, first feature data corresponding to a first predetermined period and second feature data corresponding to a second predetermined period are extracted. By machine learning based on the first feature data, a dynamic/static activity identification model, a dynamic-activity identification model, and a static-activity identification model, for the subject, are generated. By combination of results of determination based on each of the identification models, a posture and an activity of the subject are identified, and correspondence information, which associates the identified posture and activity with the biological signal information of the subject, is generated.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 16, 2016Publication date: March 8, 2018Applicant: NIPPON TELEGRAPH AND TELEPHONE CORPORATIONInventors: Keitaro HORIKAWA, Yoshitaka NAKAMURA, Masato SAWADA, Akihiro YAMANAKA, Shingo TSUKADA, Toshiya YAMADA

Publication number: 20180018346Abstract: A storage system includes N nodes (N is an integer, equal to or larger than 2) coupled to at least one data processing system. A plurality of tenant spaces, based on the N nodes, contain Y1 tenant spaces (Y1 is an integer, equal to or larger than 2 and equal to or smaller than N) for a first tenant.
