Abstract: A composite material member having an FRP layer made of fiber-reinforced plastic, and a resin-rich layer that has a fiber content that is 5% or less of the fiber content of the FRP layer. The resin-rich layer is formed in at least a partial region of a surface of the FRP layer, and is formed from the same resin as a matrix resin of the fiber-reinforced plastic. A hole is bored so as to penetrate the FRP layer and the resin-rich layer.

Abstract: An energy absorption structure has a frame member of a vehicle body framework, an energy absorption member formed from fiber-reinforced resin and a load-receiving member. The energy absorption member is provided at an end of the frame member in the front-rear direction of the vehicle body. The load-receiving member is provided on the energy-absorbing member on a side opposite to the frame member. A tearing element is provided adjacent an end portion of the energy-absorbing member corresponding to at least one of the load-receiving member and the frame member. The tearing element tears the energy-absorbing member due to an impact load that is inputted from the load-receiving member toward the energy-absorbing member, thereby severing the reinforcing fibers.

Abstract: Queues are provided, which are a high-speed small-capacity queue disposed in a high-speed small-capacity medium inputting and outputting online form messages at high speed and a low-speed large-capacity queue disposed in a low-speed large-capacity medium inputting and outputting batch form messages at a speed slower than the high-speed small-capacity medium. A residence rate detection unit detects a residence rate of the form messages in the high-speed small-capacity queue. When the form message is received, a storage control unit stores the form message into the high-speed small-capacity queue or the low-speed large-capacity queue determined based on the priority, the availability of the high-speed small-capacity medium and the residence rate. A dynamic allocation change unit transfers the form messages between the queues based on the residence rate of the high-speed small-capacity queue 30-1 and the availability of the high-speed small-capacity medium.

Abstract: When a data storage request is issued, data is stored at an address indicated by a pointer that indicates the start of a free area, and when a data fetch request is issued, data is fetched from a data storage area indicated by an oldest index. Moreover, when a condense request is issued, after temporarily saving data from the data storage area to a save area, the saved data is restored to a contiguous area starting from an address indicated by a pointer which indicates the start of the free area, and the pointer which indicates the start of the free area is advanced by an amount equivalent to the size of the data storage area required to restore the data. Therefore even during the condense processing, data can be stored in the address indicated by the pointer indicating the start of the free area.
