  • Patent number: 11293771
    Abstract: A display device includes an emission level calculator and a display. On the basis of a first route for a vehicle from an origin to a destination and electricity information of electricity stored in an in-vehicle battery in which electricity to be used for travel of the vehicle is stored, the emission level calculator calculates a first emission level of carbon dioxide to be caused by travel of the vehicle on the first route. Furthermore, on the basis of a second route for public transportation from the origin to the destination, the emission level calculator calculates a second emission level of carbon dioxide to be caused by travel of the public transportation on the second route. The display displays information based on the first emission level and the second emission level.

  • Publication number: 20220093420
    Abstract: A first substrate holder holds an outer peripheral end of a substrate. A second substrate holder holds a lower-surface center region of the substrate by suction at a position farther downward than the first substrate holder. The second substrate holder and the lower-surface brush are provided on a mobile base that is movable in a horizontal direction. The mobile base is moved between a position at which the lower-surface brush is opposite to a lower-surface outer region of the substrate and a position at which the lower-surface brush is opposite to the lower-surface center region of the substrate. The lower-surface center region of the substrate held by the first substrate holder is cleaned. At this time, a height position of the substrate is higher than an upper end portion of a processing cup. The lower-surface outer region of the substrate held by the second substrate holder is cleaned. At this time, a height position of the substrate is lower than the upper end portion of the processing cup.

  • Publication number: 20210247996
    Abstract: [Problem] It is possible to cope with a split-brain problem and a service stop failure in a high availability cluster configuration on a cloud. [Solution] In a case where an active system virtual server (server 310) detects stopping of a heartbeat received from a standby system virtual server (server 320), the active system virtual server notifies a coordination apparatus 100 of the detection of the stopping of a heartbeat. In addition, the active system virtual server reports whether or not a service is operating to the coordination apparatus. The coordination apparatus instructs the standby system virtual server to restart the system in a case where the stopping of a heartbeat and the operation of a service are received. The standby system virtual server restarts the service, restarts an operating system, or restarts the operating system in a case where the restart of the service is not successful, in response to an instruction for restarting the system.
