Patent number: 11960649Abstract: An electronic apparatus to be worn on a wrist of a user includes a first pulse sensor, a second pulse sensor, and a processor. The second pulse sensor is provided at a different position from the first pulse sensor in a direction from an arm to a fingertip when the user wears the electronic apparatus. The processor determines whether the electronic apparatus is worn on a right wrist or on a left wrist based on a difference between a timing at which the first pulse sensor detects a predetermined pulse and a timing at which the second pulse sensor detects the pulse.Type: GrantFiled: August 31, 2021Date of Patent: April 16, 2024Assignee: CASIO COMPUTER CO., LTD.Inventor: Yuji Imai

Patent number: 11687425Abstract: A first server and a second server use a virtual address to mount the storage synchronous area in a storage by the NFS. The first server obtains a snapshot of memory content of a virtual system operated as an active system and transmits the snapshot to the second server. The first server replicates content of the storage synchronous area in the storage to a storage synchronous area in a storage. When a failure occurs in the first server, the second server sets a virtual address to the storage and uses the virtual address to mount the storage synchronous area in the storage by NFS. The second server uses the snapshot received from the first server to execute the application on the virtual system.Type: GrantFiled: March 27, 2020Date of Patent: June 27, 2023Assignee: NEC Platforms, Ltd.Inventors: Teruo Nakamura, Yuji Imai
