  • Patent number: 10826980
    Abstract: A command process load balancing system performs load balancing of received commands among a number of server processes to resolve access contention for virtual software resources. These contentions are resolved through a history recording unit that records a history including contents of a processed command and a response time of a process for the command into a history database. A prediction unit predicts, in a case where a set of commands to be processed is assigned to a server process, whether or not a load that is equal to or higher than a reference value is applied, on the basis of the history recorded in the history database. An assigning unit assigns at least one command included in the set of commands to be processed to a different server process, in accordance with prediction that a load that is equal to or higher than the reference.

  • Publication number: 20190160439
    Abstract: [Problem] To provide a device for manufacturing composite particles constructed by flow paths having relatively great widths and capable of controlling an adsorption ratio of particles, and to provide a method for manufacturing composite particles using this manufacturing device. [Solution] A device for manufacturing composite particles includes at least one first inlet flow path (2) for supplying a first fluid, at least one second inlet flow path (3) for supplying a second fluid, and a mixing flow path (5) for merging the first fluid and the second fluid supplied respectively from the first inlet flow path and the second inlet flow path and allowing the two kinds of fluids to flow down for a predetermined length while mixing the two kinds of fluids. The mixing flow path is a continuous flow path and has a heterogeneous cross-sectional flow path area in a continuity direction thereof.

  • Patent number: 10001915
    Abstract: Embodiments relate to selecting an object displayed on a display device of a computer. Aspects include moving a movable pointer in the display device in response to a user input, determining whether the pointer is in a predetermined temporary selection state, and based on a determination that the pointer is in the temporary selection state, acquiring an object pointed to by the pointer and storing the object in the storage device as a temporarily selected object. Aspects further include acquiring an second object pointed by the pointer in response to the user performing a predetermined object selection operation, comparing the second object with the temporarily selected object, and based on a determination that the second object is identical to the temporarily selected object, determining that the second object is selected.

  • Patent number: 9740592
    Abstract: The present invention provides for debugging a target program with a computer comprising a storage unit and a processing unit. In one aspect, this comprises: storing, in the storage unit, reliability information including the reliability of individual indices of classification items of the program; reading, by the processing unit, the reliability information of the target program from the storage unit and determining a reliable code area and an unreliable code area by using the reliability of the individual indices in the reliability information; and executing debugging of the debug target program only for the unreliable code area while omitting debugging of the reliable code area. A graphical user interface to support debugging of only unreliable code areas is also disclosed.

  • Patent number: 9684738
    Abstract: Embodiments relate to generating application-processable commands from character strings. An aspect includes preparing a database in which are recorded keywords for presenting commands as conversion candidate objects, conversion candidate objects, and commands generated when a conversion candidate object has been selected. Another aspect includes receiving a plurality of character strings inputted by a user for an application. Another aspect includes converting a character string of the plurality of character strings to generate a completion candidate character string. Another aspect includes referencing the database when the character string includes a keyword, and presenting, to the user, completion candidate character strings and conversion candidate objects as a conversion candidate list. Another aspect includes generating a command corresponding to a selected conversion candidate object in response to selection of one of the conversion candidate objects from the conversion candidate list by the user.
