Abstract: The pressure-sensitive adhesive layer forming organopolysiloxane composition of this disclosure is hydrosilylation reaction curable, wherein 1 mass % or more of a resin component is (b2) an organopolysiloxane resin having a weight average molecular weight (Mw) as measured in terms of standard polystyrene by GPC using toluene that is less than 4000, and the value obtained by dividing Tg+120(° C.) of the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer obtained by curing by Tg?+120(° C.) of the composition (pressure-sensitive adhesive layer), in which component (b2) is substituted by a resin with Mw 4000 or higher is less than 1.0.

Abstract: Data synchronization requires much time if synchronization is started from an initial state where synchronization between databases is not performed, and when a synchronized record is updated during the synchronization process, synchronization of records must be performed again, so that the amount of communication for synchronization is increased. Therefore, when starting synchronization, data synchronization is performed based on a method using a table indicating the synchronization statuses between databases, and at the final stage of synchronization, data synchronization is performed based on a query transmission method using update logs.

A consumer cooperation support apparatus collects attribute information from an EMS group that can collect, manage, and transmit attribute information of ordinary power consumers, and manages the attribute information to manage an identifier of a master consumer EMS group that issues a control request to other consumers by its own judgment. The consumer cooperation support apparatus allocates a cluster obtained by classifying consumers based on the attribute information to a group created so as to correspond to the master consumer EMS. When the master consumer EMS refers to an EMS group in order to issues a control request, the EMS group that can be referred to is limited to EMSs included in the group.
