Abstract: Reliability is evaluated in constructing a component based-on application and an application for realizing reliability required can be constructed efficiently. A run-time history such as an occurrence frequency of errors, a recovery time required at error occurrence, and a processing capacity at preventive maintenance is added per software component to a run-time history list having been recoded per execution environment such as an application ID, combined component IDs, and executed hardware ID. From these pieces of information, an interval of performing preventive maintenance recommended per software component during system construction is calculated. By comparing reliability per software component and reliability required for the system, advisability is determined and conformance is evaluated. An execution schedule for preventive maintenance and a processing capability are calculated about the entire component-based application created by combining the software components.

Abstract: Disclosed is a phosphated galvanized steel sheet comprising a steel sheet, a zinc-plating layer of ? single phase which is formed on at least one side of the steel sheet and contains Ni in an amount of not less than 10 ppm by mass and not more than the solubility limit thereof, and a phosphate layer which is formed on the zinc-plating layer and contains Mg in an amount of not less than 0.1 % by mass and less than 2.0 % by mass. Although this steel sheet is not subjected to sealing, it has corrosion resistance equivalent to or higher than those of conventional steel sheets which have been subjected to sealing, while having excellent blackening resistance.

Abstract: The invention aims to provide a film for a pressure roller, without requiring an adhesive layer and capable of maintaining or improving conventionally obtained characteristics such as a tensile strength, a tear strength and an excellent releasing property with a recording material. The invention provides a film for a pressure roller, including a polyimide layer in which fluorinated resin powder is dispersed. The fluorinated resin powder is dispersed in an amount of from 10 to 20 vol % in the polyimide layer, and has an average particle size of from 1 to 20 ?m.

Abstract: An automatic pouring method without using a servomotor having a vertical output shaft, establishing the pouring at a low level, eliminating the unstable pouring, sand inclusion, and gaseous defects. An automatic pouring method using a ladle to be tilted for pouring molten metal into a pouring cup of a flaskless or tight-flask mold in at least one pouring device movable along an X-axis parallel to a molding line in which the mold is transferred, wherein the ladle is moved along a Y-axis perpendicular to the molding line in a horizontal plane and is tilted about a first axis of rotation and further about a second axis of rotation.

Abstract: The phosphate-treated zinc-coated steel sheet has: a steel sheet; a zinc-coating layer of a single ?-phase containing Ni in a range from 10 ppm by mass to solid solution limit, being formed on at least one side of the steel sheet; and a phosphate-treated layer containing Mg in a range from not less than 0.1% by mass to less than 2.0% by mass, being formed on the zinc-coating layer. The steel sheet without treated by sealing has corrosion resistance equivalent to or higher than that of conventional products treated by sealing, and also has excellent blackening resistance.

Abstract: A mixed irradiation evaluation support system for supporting judgment and determination of allocation of contribution in mixed irradiation using proton beams and X-rays. According to a composition ratio designated by a composition ratio scroll bar 107, a dose distribution by a proton beam and a dose distribution by an X-ray are composed, and the result of the composition is displayed three-dimensionally in a three-dimensional display part 104. Further, when a cross section is designated in the three-dimensional display part 104, an isodose map 115 in the designated cross section is displayed in a cross section window 114.

Abstract: The present invention provides for a zinc-based coated steel sheet having a zinc-based coating layer and a lubricant film, which is formed on the zinc-based coating layer, containing zinc phosphate particles in an amount of 50 wt. % or more, and having substantially no reaction layer formed by reaction between the zinc-based coating and the zinc phosphate particles, and a method for the manufacture thereof. The zinc-based coated steel sheet according to the present invention has an excellent anti-peeling property, excellent frictional property, even in the non-lubricated condition which occurs at areas where the press oil film is broken, and excellent anti-galling property.

Abstract: A steel composition, in which, Si content is regulated to a given range and Nb and Cu or Ni, Mo are compositively added, and a recrystallization annealing is carried out to form an internal oxide layer just beneath a surface of a steel sheet and a surface oxide simultaneously formed on the surface of the steel sheet is removed by pickling. As a result, the formation of oxides of Si, Mn and the like is considerably decreased on the surface of the steel sheet in a subsequent heating before plating because the above internal oxide layer acts as a diffusion barrier. Thus, there can be obtained high tensile strength hot-dipped steel sheets having a considerably excellent plating property.
