Patent number: 8478810Abstract: There is provided a message hub apparatus for efficiently processing service processing messages in an enterprise system. The message hub apparatus stores a value of minimum residence time as minimum time during which the service processing message is to reside in a message queue. The message present in the message queue is transmitted to a service provider on condition that the minimum residence time has elapsed. The apparatus performs a merge processing of the received service processing message and the service processing message which resides in the queue. A history of the merge processing stored in the apparatus is analyzed, and the value of the minimum residence time is modified based on an analysis result.Type: GrantFiled: December 21, 2007Date of Patent: July 2, 2013Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Izumi Atsumi, Hiroyuki Ogura, Keiichi Tsuda

Below this area, the content of the binder phase decreases gradually so that its content becomes equal to the average content of the binder phase at a depth of 800 .mu.m or less. The content of the binder phase in the surface layer is 90% or less of its maximum value. The depth of 800 .mu.m is a value at which the thermal conductivity is kept sufficiently high and at the same time a tool can keep high resistance to plastic deformation during cutting.Type: GrantFiled: March 28, 1995Date of Patent: November 26, 1996Assignee: Sumitomo Electric Industries, Ltd.Inventors: Kazutaka Isobe, Keiichi Tsuda, Nobuyuki Kitagawa, Toshio Nomura
