  • Patent number: 10846234
    Abstract: A storage control system reads a data set from a storage apparatus if necessary in response to an I/O request. A data set contains data and an address. The storage control system performs an all-type address check which is a check to determine whether one of a first address and second address which correspond to a read-target data set in address translation information, which is information indicating a mapping relationship between one or more first addresses and one or more second addresses, matches the address among the data and address contained in the data set. The one or more first addresses are each an address which belongs to the first address type. The one or more second addresses are each an address which belongs to the second address type. The storage control system performs processing according to the I/O request when the result of the all-type address check is true.

  • Patent number: 9863564
    Abstract: In a clamp device, a main clamp body includes an elongated tightening groove delimited by groove-forming wall sections. First and second lobe parts are disposed in the vicinity of end portions of two such tightening grooves. The main clamp body presents a ring shape when bolt and nut are mounted in position on the lobe parts disposed facing each other. Each of the lobe parts includes sidewall sections respectively contiguous to the groove delimiting wall sections that delimit the tightening groove. Each lobe part also includes a curved outer end wall section interconnecting the sidewall sections at an outer end of each lobe part and a seat surface wall section contiguous to the sidewall sections and to the outer end wall section. The seat surface wall section provides a bolt/nut seat surface. An arcuately shaped fulcrum part is formed on the curved outer end wall section of each lobe part.

  • Publication number: 20170106567
    Abstract: A mold includes a mold body, a porous conductive sheet and an electroformed metal. The porous conductive sheet is placed on a back surface of the mold body, has a plurality of through holes, and is conductive at least at its surface. The electroformed metal is electrodeposited on the back surface of the mold body and on the porous conductive sheet so as to fill and close the through holes of the porous conductive sheet. In the mold, an inner surface of the electroformed metal forms at least a part of an inner surface of a fluid passage through which fluid for temperature control flows.

  • Publication number: 20160004460
    Abstract: The present invention provides a computer system capable of ensuring a storage capacity to a virtual volume within a pool. According to the present invention, a pool capacity of a block storage is reserved in a specific address range of the virtual volume, and a reserved capacity is allocated during writing of data to a specific address range. Further, when the reserved capacity is not allocated for a given period of time, reservation is freed.
