Patent number: 11183274Abstract: The present invention provides a method for analyzing answers to questions in an electronic document. The method comprises reading, into a memory, the user's answers to the questions and a user's answer history information from the user's answers, wherein the user's answer history information is collected at the time the questions are answered. The method further comprises inputting, into a machine learning model, the user's answers to the questions and the user's answer history information from the user's answers to output an analysis result, wherein the machine learning model is trained, in advance, using one or more sets of training data, each set of training data comprising one or more answers to one or more questions and answer history information from the one or more answers, and a correct result which is obtained by manually judging the one or more answers to the one or more questions.Type: GrantFiled: December 18, 2017Date of Patent: November 23, 2021Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Yoshio Horiuchi, Katsuhiko Hagiwara, Yuji Sugiyama, Chiaki Oishi, Jiayun Zhu, Junichi Sugimoto

Patent number: 10831561Abstract: A technique of operating a system is provided that processes data with one or more data processing modules provided in parallel. A synchronization token is input into at least one data processing module that is in an operational state from the one or more data processing modules provided in parallel, in response to a request to change allocation of the data. The allocation of the data is changed to the one or more data processing modules provided in parallel, after the synchronization token is input. In response to the synchronization token having arrived at a data processing module at a later stage, the at least one data processing module, that stopped the processing, starts processing data after the synchronization token is input to the at least one data processing module.Type: GrantFiled: November 28, 2017Date of Patent: November 10, 2020Assignee: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Katsuhiko Hagiwara, Junichi Kato, Kumiko Maeda, Yuriko Nishikawa, Chiaki Oishi, Yutaka Oishi, Yoshinori Tahara

Patent number: 8484412Abstract: A magnetic tape drive having a tape drive system for moving magnetic tape, tape read/write and servo system, tape cartridge load/unload systems, I/O communications, memory; and a control system, operates in three modes to conserve energy consumption. A first low power mode powers the I/O communications, the memory, and the control system. If a magnetic tape cartridge is in loaded position in the magnetic tape drive, the second low power mode powers the same as the first low power mode, and additionally powers the tape drive system to apply tension to a magnetic tape of the magnetic tape cartridge. In the first and the second low power modes, the control system operates the I/O communications, the memory and the control system to respond to and execute commands received at the I/O communications if the commands are executable without magnetic tape access. The third, full power mode, is entered if a command received at the I/O communications requires magnetic tape access.Type: GrantFiled: November 5, 2009Date of Patent: July 9, 2013Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Allen Keith Bates, Steven Ross Bentley, Randall Scot Doan, Katsuhiko Hagiwara, Fahnmusa Christian Jangaba, Christine Renee Knibloe, Hisato Matsuo, Hirokazu Nakayama, Mitsuhiro Nishida, Daniel James Winarski

Patent number: 6648546Abstract: Plural penetration holes 3a are formed in the side wall of a base 3, and ends 6a, 7a of reinforcements 6, 7 of an RC pavement 2 laid around the light embedded area are inserted into the penetration holes 3a, and the peripheral edge of each penetration hole 3a and the ends 6a, 7a of the reinforcements 6, 7 are firmly fixed by welding. Since the ends 6a, 7a of the reinforcements 6, 7 of the RC pavement 2 and the base 3 are mutually fixed, the load applied to the inset light 1 from above is dispersed not only into the portion contacting with the lower side of the base 3 of the RC pavement 2, but also into the reinforcements 6, 7, and the sinking shearing resistance of the RC pavement 2 is extremely improved. Accordingly, if a heavy load of aircraft or the like is applied, the inset light capable of preventing sinking of the RC pavement in the lower part of the base is presented.Type: GrantFiled: January 16, 2001Date of Patent: November 18, 2003Assignee: New Tokyo International Airport AuthorityInventors: Yoichi Abe, Katsuhiko Hagiwara, Shoichi Kameta, Shunji Kawabata, Ryoichi Sato

Patent number: 6478339Abstract: A piping joint for preventing pipe members laid across the connection end faces of two adjacent structural elements from being damaged by changes in the relative positional relationship between the two adjacent structural elements due to the expansion and contraction caused by changes in the temperature or external stresses. The piping joint connects the end portions of the two pipe members laid in two structural elements whose connection end faces can displace relatively to each other, between the connection end faces to make the two pipe members communicate. It comprises a fixed unit (30) fixedly embedded into the connection end face of one of the structural elements and a movable unit (50) supported by the fixed unit so as to be movable along the connection end face. The pipe member in the structural element is connected to the fixed unit, and the pipe member in the other structural element is connected to the movable element. The two pipe members communicate in the fixed unit.Type: GrantFiled: December 5, 2001Date of Patent: November 12, 2002Assignee: New Tokyo International Airport AuthorityInventors: Yoichi Abe, Shoichi Kameta, Katsuhiko Hagiwara, Shunji Kawabata, Takafumi Oshima

Patent number: 6334695Abstract: In an inset light 1 comprising a cylindrical base 3 installed in a PC pavement 2, and a lamp body 5 held in the upper part of the base 3 for emitting light outside of the pavement surface, protruded deformations 6 are formed on the outer circumference of the base 3 so as to receive the load applied on the lamp body 5 from above at the PC pavement 2 around the base 3. As a result, concentration of load in the lower part of the base 3 is prevented. Further, to alleviate the prestress shortage of the PC pavement in the lower part of the base 3, a shock absorber 7 is provided in the lower end outer peripheral edge of the base 3. As a result, lowering of strength of the PC pavement 2 in the lower part of the base 3 is suppressed. Accordingly, if a heavy load of aircraft or the like is applied, the inset light capable of preventing sinking while suppressing brittleness of the PC pavement in the lower portion of the base can be presented.Type: GrantFiled: October 6, 2000Date of Patent: January 1, 2002Assignee: New Tokyo International Airport AuthorityInventors: Yoichi Abe, Shoichi Kameta, Katsuhiko Hagiwara, Shunji Kawabata, Ryoichi Sato
