  • Publication number: 20170109202
    Abstract: The scheduler performs thread scheduling of repeating processings of specifying each hardware thread included in a first group among the multiple hardware threads for the number of times set up in advance for the hardware thread, and of specifying any one of the hardware threads in a second group for the number of times set up in advance for the second group that includes other hardware threads. A thread waste counter is provided for each hardware thread in the first group and counts up each time a nondispatchable state occurs when the hardware thread is specified by the thread scheduling. When the hardware thread in the first group specified by the thread scheduling is nondispatchable, the scheduler performs rescheduling of respecifying the hardware thread in the second group instead of the hardware thread in the first group.

  • Publication number: 20170029789
    Abstract: There has been a demand for a codon-optimized gene for the mutated catalytic domain of Oplophorus luciferase, which is capable of efficiently expressing a protein both in a cultured animal cell and Escherichia coli. There has also been a demand for a substrate coelenterazine analogue showing a higher activity than that of native 19 kDa protein. The invention provides a polynucleotide comprising a polynucleotide consisting of the nucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO: 2. According to the invention, bis-coelenterazine is used as a substrate coelenterazine analogue suitable for the photoprotein encoded by the polynucleotide comprising the polynucleotide consisting of the nucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO: 2.

  • Patent number: 9537076
    Abstract: A thermoelectric conversion module has a substrate, a plurality of first electrodes, a plurality of thermoelectric conversion elements 2, a plurality of second electrodes 4, and connectors 42. The plurality of thermoelectric conversion elements 2 are n-type elements, connected in series. The connector 42 is formed as a single unit with the second electrodes 4 and separate from the first electrodes 3. A receptor 33 that accepts the tip of the connector 42 is provided to each of the first electrodes 3. Six element rows 6 of five thermoelectric conversion elements 2 aligned along the X axis are arrayed along the Y axis. The receptors 33 are configured to accept connectors 42 of the same shape whether electrically connecting the thermoelectric conversion elements 2 within the element rows 6 or electrically connecting between adjacent element rows 6. The first electrodes 3 and second electrodes 4 are all the same shape.

  • Patent number: 9523961
    Abstract: A watch case having a through-hole, an operating member including an operating shaft to be inserted to the through-hole of the watch case, an exterior member mounted on the operating member and configured to be displaced in a shaft direction of the operating shaft and be rotated together with the operating member, and a buffer member located between the operating member and the exterior member are provided. Therefore, when the exterior member receives impact from outside, the impact can be buffered by the buffer member. As a result, the operating member can be prevented from being damaged because the impact from the outside is not directly transmitted to the operating member, thereby improving impact resistance.

  • Patent number: 9520830
    Abstract: A crystal oscillator has characteristics in that reduction in oscillation margin makes the crystal oscillator less likely to oscillate, with the result that an amplitude of a voltage waveform at an input terminal of a CMOS inverter is reduced. A crystal oscillator of the invention has a detection circuit that outputs an alarm signal when the amplitude of the voltage waveform at the input terminal of the CMOS inverter becomes equal to or less than a predetermined specified value. As a result, it is possible to detect a change in the oscillation margin of the crystal oscillator without switching between circuits even after the crystal oscillator is incorporated in a device.
