Abstract: A storage system has a management server computer and a storage apparatus. The storage apparatus has a management processor connected to a management server computer via a first network, and a plurality of I/O processors that are connected to the management processor via a second network, that are connected to a storage device, and that conduct I/O with the storage device. The management server computer generates a command for any I/O processor of the plurality of I/O processors. The management server computer encapsulates and encrypts the command to generate an encrypted message, and sends the encrypted message to the management processor. The management processor receives the encrypted message and selects an I/O processor of the plurality of I/O processors as a first address on the basis of the command; and decrypts and undoes the encapsulation of the message to restore the command, and sends the command to the first address.

Abstract: A joint-movement assisting device including: (i) an assist force control member to adjust an output level of a driving member in order to bring a load acting on an assist force transmission part to a targeted assist force during action of an assist force; (ii) a slack prevention control member to operate the driving member and exert a bias force on the assist force transmission part in order to eliminate a slack thereof during non-action of the assist force; and a load sensor to detect the load acting on the assist force transmission part in a direction of tension. For at least one of the assist force control member and the slack prevention control member, the driving member is feedback-controlled based on a detection value by the load sensor in order to bring the acting load to the targeted assist force or bias force.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a piezoelectric resonator system comprising a plurality of piezoelectric resonator sensors C?, C?. Each sensor C?, C? comprises an oscillator circuit 29?, 29? which is surrounded by its own individual conducting shield 44?, 44?. Each shield 44?, 44? is connectable to one pole of the power supply for its respective sensor C?, C?. These shields 44?, 44? prevent electromagnetic radiation from the sensors C?, C? from being transmitted through air.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a chip quartz oscillator. In an embodiment of a chip quartz oscillator S in accordance with the present invention, a quartz oscillator 2, which has a detection electrode 3 on a surface thereof and a non-detection electrode on the other surface thereof, is fixed on a substrate 1, and each of the electrodes is connected electrically to a terminal 4 or 4? on the substrate 1. While keeping the non-detection electrode in contact with the substrate 1, the quartz oscillator 2 is fixed on the substrate 1, by flexibly bonding the side-wall 2?? of the quartz oscillator 2 along its circumference to the surface of the substrate 1 by using the elastic bonding agent 5. Thus, the oscillation surface of the quartz oscillator 2 is supported distributively on the substrate 1 in a surface-contacting and non-adhesive manner.
