Abstract: The ICT resource management device includes: a configuration information management part that manages configuration information of physical nodes and virtual nodes; a layer mapping part that performs mapping between the physical layer and the virtual layer; a location specifying part that specifies a location of a physical node; a device connect destination determination part that determines a physical node to which to connect the device in response to a request for configuration change based on at least one of the specified location, information relating to a service, a network connection configuration of the network connecting the device to the physical node, and quality of the network; a blueprint creation part that creates a blueprint based on the configuration information, the mapping information, and the connection destination; and an orchestrator part that performs orchestration.

Abstract: A head attachment is attached to a welding head of a laser welding machine. The head attachment includes an opening through which a laser beam emitted from the welding head for irradiation to a weld position passes. A gas blow nozzle is attached to the side of the head attachment and blows shielding gas to the weld position. The gas blow nozzle includes a main nozzle that is disposed closer to the head attachment and is supplied with the shielding gas by a first gas pipe, and a sub-nozzle that is disposed so as to be adjacent to the main nozzle and farther away from the head attachment than the main nozzle and is supplied with the shielding gas by a second gas pipe. The sub-nozzle is removable from the main nozzle.

Abstract: A voltage monitor semiconductor device to monitor voltages of multiple rechargeable devices to output a detection result signal to indicate overcharge, over-discharge, or excess-current, the voltage monitor semiconductor device including multiple voltage input terminals, corresponding to the multiple rechargeable devices, to monitor the voltages of the corresponding rechargeable devices as monitor voltages; and a test signal generation circuit to generate a first test signal that inverts when at least one of the monitor voltages falls below a predetermined first threshold voltage that is not used normally as an abnormal state.

Abstract: A charge control circuit for controlling charging of a plurality of batteries includes switching elements respectively connected in parallel to the batteries, and a charge control device for reducing charging current to the respective batteries. The charge control device converts voltages of the respective batteries into multiple converted battery voltages based on a predetermined reference voltage as a reference on the basis of voltages at both ends of the respective batteries, generates an offset battery voltage obtained by adding a predetermined offset voltage to the converted battery voltages, compares each converted battery voltage with the offset battery voltage, and reduces charging current to the corresponding battery by turning on the switching element connected in parallel to the corresponding battery when the each converted battery voltage is higher than the offset voltage.
