  • Publication number: 20130054920
    Abstract: The present invention comprises a virtual volume 50, which is a virtual storage area comprising multiple virtual page groups, a pool 60, which is a storage area comprising multiple pool page groups having different access performance, and a controller 13, which comprises a corresponding relationship between the virtual page and the pool page, and accesses the pool page corresponding to the virtual page based on accesses to the virtual page from other apparatuses, and the controller 13, based on an access load trend with respect to each virtual page in each time slot, executes processing for deciding an ideal pool page allocation destination for each virtual page in each time slot, and reallocating a virtual page to the ideal pool page at a time, which is prior to a start time, so that the ideal pool page can be allocated to each virtual page by the start time of each time slot.

  • Patent number: 6778394
    Abstract: In order to efficiently cool highly heat generating components mounted on an electronic device, it is necessary to provide a large heat sink, which is the heat dissipation member, and this entails the problem of an enlarged device size and accordingly an increased installation space. A heat receiving member is attached to a heat generating component installed in a housing, a fan for discharging air within the housing out of the housing is attached on a part of a wall of the housing, a heat sink having a base and fins arranged on the base is attached opposite the fan on an outer face of the wall of the housing or protruding out of the wall with the fins facing the housing, and the heat sink and the heat receiving member are connected by heat transport means.

  • Patent number: 6289254
    Abstract: Since a plurality of electric CAD systems (CAD) 1 generate circuit diagram data with different data structures, input interface (IF) software (SOFT) implements processing for extracting predetermined item data used in parts selection SOFT from each CAD, and processing for adding data obtained by the parts selection SOFT to each CAD. The parts selection SOFT implements selection of parts, output of slips, and the like on the basis of the predetermined item data. Output IF-SOFT converts information associated with the selected parts output from the parts selection SOFT into a different data format used in the subsequent process, and outputs the converted information.
