Abstract: A control apparatus for a motive power transmission device equipped with a first input shaft, a second input shaft to which a motive power from a motor is input, a rear wheel-side output shaft from which a motive power is output to a first driving wheel, a front wheel-side output shaft from which a motive power is output to a second driving wheel, and a planetary gear device that has, as three rotating elements, a sun gear to which the second input shaft is coupled, a carrier to which the front wheel-side output shaft is coupled, and a ring gear to which the first input shaft and the rear wheel-side output shaft are coupled engages an engagement device when a torque of the rear wheel-side output shaft is equal to or smaller than a threshold with the motor outputting the motive power.

Abstract: A method of processing information includes receiving a notification indicating completion of a garbage collection processing; dividing a time period of the garbage collection processing into a plurality of intervals; calculating, for each of the plurality of intervals, an interval fill-rate by calculating a sum total of a processing time allocated to each of one or more threads, calculating a quotient by dividing the sum total by a smaller one of a number of threads and a number of cores, and dividing the quotient by an execution time; calculating an entire fill-rate by dividing, by an execution time of the entire garbage collection processing, a sum total of a product of the interval fill-rate and the execution time of the interval; and lowering a priority of a second process than a priority of the first process, when the entire fill-rate is equal to or less than a predetermined value.

Abstract: A memory management apparatus includes: a memory space including a memory area serving as a heap area and a non-heap-area memory area; and memory management unit which add a header for an object to a memory area other than heap-area to treat the non-heap-area memory area as a mock object in order to treat a plurality of heap areas divided by the non-heap-area memory area as a single continuous heap area.

Abstract: An information service system works to record or print out, at a fee, information contents downloaded from Web servers, information received from facsimiles and information carried on portable storage mediums. The system includes a recording part which records, duplicates and prints out the image of digitized information, an information accumulating part which accumulates information by making relation with users, a user authenticating part which receives user authentication information and authenticates the legitimacy of the user, a fee calculating part which calculates the fee for information recording, a payment reception part which receives the payment of fee by the user, and a management part which manages the charging data and payment data. The recording part records the supplied information only after authentication of user legitimacy and payment of fee by the user.

Abstract: In a computer-readable storage medium storing a generational garbage collection program used to direct a computer to perform a generational garbage collection process, the generational garbage collection process includes a generational garbage collection environment preparing and initializing process, and the generational garbage collection environment preparing and initializing process includes a process of allocating a single virtual memory space as a virtual memory space of all generations, and distributing the single virtual memory space to each generation such that the virtual memory space of each generation can be continuously arranged in order of generation in the single virtual memory space.

Abstract: A rear underbody which forms a rear-under section of a vehicle body is provided with a pair of rear floor side members disposed along a longitudinal direction of the vehicle body in respective vicinities of both end portions of the rear underbody in a transverse direction of the vehicle body. The pair of rear floor side members each forms an enclosed cross-sectional configuration which extends in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle body. A cross member which extends substantially straight in the transverse direction of the vehicle body is disposed apart from and under a rear floor pan between the pair of rear floor side members at respective substantially central portions of a pair of rear wheel house inners. Both end portions, in the transverse direction of the vehicle body, of the cross member are respectively welded to an inner surface of the inside wall portion, in the transverse direction of the vehicle body, of the rear floor side member.

Abstract: An intermediate portion of a cylindrical suspension member collar extending in a longitudinal direction of a vehicle body is welded to an end portion of a suspension member in a transverse direction of the vehicle body. Both longitudinal-direction end portions of the suspension member collar are reduced in diameter in comparison with the intermediate portion thereof. The suspension member collar is disposed between respective inner cylinder portions of a pair of mounts so as to be coaxial with the inner cylinder portions. A shaft member is inserted into the inner cylinder portion of the mount and the suspension member collar, and a rubber bushing is disposed between an outer cylinder portion of the mount and the inner cylinder portion thereof, so that the outer cylinder portion and the inner cylinder portion can rotate relatively to each other. This makes it possible to prevent the rotation of the side member about an axial center thereof.
