  • Patent number: 8683025
    Abstract: A host server of a storage system transmits path information and a simultaneous command issue number to a storage managing server, while the path information corresponds to such paths that when the host server executes an application program, the host server accesses to a logical volume, the simultaneous command issue number corresponds to a total number of commands issued to the respective paths. A storage monitoring agent server transmits to the storage managing server, an upper limit number of command multiplex numbers. When accepting path information, a simultaneous command issue number, and the command multiplex number upper limit value, the storage managing server proportionally distributes the command multiplex number upper limit value of the port to the respective paths so as to calculate a command multiplex upper limit value, and calculated result.

  • Patent number: 8436500
    Abstract: In a power module having two systems of inverter circuits for driving an electric motor of a motorized equipment, a wiring board mounted with power transistors and shunt resistances is embedded in a plate-like mold section. A plurality of lands have radiation surfaces exposed from the mold section. The radiation surfaces of a first land row constituted by a first group of the lands are provided on the same plane and the same straight line, and the radiation surfaces of a second land row constituted by a second group of the lands are provided on the same plane and the same straight line. The radiation surfaces of the first and second land rows are in surface-to-surface contact with a heat sink through insulation radiation sheets to dissipate a heat generated by the power module.

  • Patent number: 8310121
    Abstract: A motor case is formed in a tubular shape. A semiconductor module includes a semiconductor chip of switching elements, a resin part and a coil terminal. The resin part embeds the semiconductor chip therein. The coil terminal is protruded from the resin part and directly connected to a coil. A connection part between the coil terminal and the coil is arranged at a position, which is between a top wall surface and a bottom wall surface of the resin part facing each other in the axial direction of a motor.

  • Patent number: 8247937
    Abstract: A V1 semiconductor module has a coil terminal, which is directly connectable to a lead wire of a coil. As a result, the number of parts required to connect electronic parts is reduced. Further, since no printed circuit board is required, the coil terminal can be shaped in any size without being limited in correspondence to the thickness of a copper film of the substrate. The coil terminal and control terminals, which are connected to the printed circuit board having a control circuit for controlling current supply to the coil, are provided on different wall surfaces of a resin part. Thus, the coil and the printed circuit board can be readily connected to the coil terminal and the control terminals, respectively, resulting in simplification of the device.

  • Patent number: 7653725
    Abstract: To solve a problem in that reliable detection of a performance problem caused by a configuration change needs detailed performance information, which is costly to keep and analyze, a management computer which manages a computer system having a host computer and a storage system is provided. The management computer is configured to: store performance information obtained from resources that belong to paths at first time intervals until a predetermined length of time elapses since the detection of an addition or removal of the resources to the paths; store performance information obtained from the resources that belong to the paths at second time intervals, which are longer than the first time intervals, without storing performance information obtained from the resources that belong to the paths at the first time intervals after the predetermined length of time elapses since the detection of the addition or removal of the resources to the paths.
