Abstract: Provided are a straddle type monorail vehicle in which a center pin provided in a vehicle body can be mechanically fastened to a center pin holding portion provided in a bogie via a cushioning rubber with a small number of work steps, and an assembly method thereof. The center pin has a hollow shape in which both ends are opened, and includes a large cylindrical portion on a bolster beam side and a small cylindrical portion that is connected to the large cylindrical portion and that is coaxial with the large cylindrical portion, the center pin holding portion is elastically supported by a bogie frame forming a frame body of the bogie, and has a hollow portion into which the small cylindrical portion of the center pin is inserted. A fixing metal fitting has a cylindrical rod shape inserted through the center pin that includes first and second threaded portions.

Abstract: A storage apparatus and its control method capable of implementing thin provisioning and reducing power consumption of storage devices are provided. The storage apparatus classifies a plurality of storage devices, which provide a pool with a storage resource, into a plurality of groups; performs thin provisioning operation by setting some of the plurality of groups to an active mode, in which the storage devices belonging to the groups are made to enter an activated state; sets other groups to a power-saving mode in which the storage devices are made to enter a power-saving state; and sequentially switches between the group(s) in the active mode and the group(s) in the power-saving mode among the plurality of groups.

Abstract: A communication device includes a conductor plane, a first loop antenna disposed on one surface of the conductor plane via a first magnetic sheet, a second loop antenna being in a loop direction opposite to a loop direction of the first loop antenna and having an opening structure approximately identical in shape to the first loop antenna, the second loop antenna being disposed on another surface of the conductor plane via a second magnetic sheet so as to be roughly superposed on the first loop antenna, and a communication circuit processing a communication signal transmitted and received by the first and second loop antennas.

Abstract: A storage device mounting structure with excellent handleability for storage devices is provided. A storage device mounting structure according to this invention includes a unit for housing a plurality of storage devices, a chassis for housing the unit, and a guide mechanism for supporting the unit and guiding it into or out of the chassis, wherein the unit has an open area for inserting the plurality of storage devices from a front face of the unit into the unit and is supported by the guide mechanism so that the unit can freely move rotationally to make a surface of the unit, where the open area exists, positioned at the front of the chassis.

Abstract: An IC card includes, in addition to an ordinary data recording processing circuit, an IC chip area including an encrypting circuit, and a magnetic or optical data recording unit mounted thereon. Those items of data at an initialization and final transaction times are recorded in the magnetic or optical data recording unit while a predetermined encryption is made in cooperation with the IC chip area and the terminal for initialization and terminal for transaction. When a data item to be recorded n the IC chip area in the IC card is destroyed, data items recorded on the magnetic or optical data recording area are decrypted to check if the recorded data items are true. If yes, these data items are restored in a new card.
