Publication number: 20150202854Abstract: A laminated glass production method includes bending multiple glass plates into a desired shape by heating the glass plates to near a softening point, stacking the bent glass plates in layers with an interlayer interposed therebetween, and forming laminated glass by bonding the glass plates and the interlayer stacked in layers by applying pressure. At least two of the glass plates composing the laminated glass have different thicknesses. Of the two glass plates having different thicknesses, the thicker glass plate has a lower viscosity than the thinner glass plates at a temperature between the annealing point and the softening point of the thicker glass plate. Forming the laminated glass includes forming an uneven temperature distribution on a principal surface of each of the glass plates.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 1, 2015Publication date: July 23, 2015Applicant: Asahi Glass Company, LimitedInventors: Masahiro TSUCHIYA, Yasumasa KATO, Yutaka KITAJIMA, Masashi KASAJIMA, Shuichi AKADA, Hiroshi YAMAKAWA, Junji TANAKA

Patent number: 8555106Abstract: The present invention provides a data migration management apparatus that can easily create a re-execution task for re-executing an error-terminated data migration task, and also can increase the possibility of the re-execution task being successful. In a case where a data migration from a migration-source volume to a migration-destination volume fails, the management apparatus uses the information of the failed task to create a re-execution task. The management apparatus changes the configuration of a volume pair as necessary. The management apparatus manages the failed task in association with the re-execution task.Type: GrantFiled: September 13, 2012Date of Patent: October 8, 2013Assignee: Hitachi, Ltd.Inventors: Akihiko Sakaguchi, Hiroshi Yamakawa

Patent number: 8117167Abstract: There is provided a technique capable of executing a predetermined processing while continuing a database processing. Firstly, the database to be operated is switched from the main database to a duplicate database. The predetermined processing is executed to the main database which becomes the non-operation mode by the switching. Next, a database access request is distributed to the duplicate database which becomes the operation mode by the switching, thereby performing the database processing. Update information indicating the content of the update processing performed to the duplicate database is output. The output update information is reflected on the main data base for which the predetermined processing has been executed. After this, the database to be operated is switched from the duplicate database to the main database.Type: GrantFiled: January 30, 2009Date of Patent: February 14, 2012Assignees: Hitachi, Ltd., Hitachi Software Engineering Co., Ltd.Inventors: Kenichi Kitamura, Mitsuo Miyazaki, Kota Yamaguchi, Hiroshi Yamakawa
