Abstract: A fixing device for an article attaching member that makes it possible to fix with sufficient strength by easy work an article attaching member, to which a desired article or articles is/are attachable, to a fragile wall surface made of gypsum board or the like. In a state where a first engaging portion 13, a second engaging portion 14, and a third engaging portion 15 are contacted with a wall surface 50a, nails 20 inserted respectively through guide holes 13a, 14a, and 15a of the first, second, and third engaging portions 13, 14, and 15 are pushed into the wall surface 50a, thereby engaging these engaging portions 13, 14, and 15 with the wall surface 50a. The locations and pushing directions of the nails 20 inserted respectively through the guide holes 13a, 14a, and 15a are different from each other.

Abstract: Some embodiments provide a novel method for deploying containerized applications. The method of some embodiments deploys a data collecting agent on a machine that operates on a host computer and executes a set of one or more workload applications. From this agent, the method receives data regarding consumption of a set of resources allocated to the machine by the set of workload applications. The method assesses excess capacity of the set of resources for use to execute a set of one or more containers, and then deploys the set of one or more containers on the machine to execute one or more containerized applications. In some embodiments, the set of workload applications are legacy workloads deployed on the machine before the installation of the data collecting agent. By deploying one or more containers on the machine, the method of some embodiments maximizes the usages of the machine, which was previously deployed to execute legacy non-containerized workloads.

Abstract: A catheter includes a hollow shaft, a linear member provided on an outer periphery of the hollow shaft, and a metallic film that is formed between the outer periphery of the hollow shaft and the linear member and is joined to the outer periphery of the hollow shaft and the linear member. With this configuration, as the hollow shaft, the metallic film, and the linear member are joined together, the torqueability of the catheter may be improved.

Abstract: A payment processing system is configured to support purchase transactions generated by merchant point-of-sale (POS) devices. Information regarding the purchase transactions is archived and periodically analyzed using machine learning to create a predictive model relating transaction attributes to bank interchange fees. The predictive model is then used to estimate interchange fees that are later passed on to merchants. This allows more accurate settlement with merchants in situations where reports regarding actual interchange fees are not yet available.

Abstract: A catheter includes an inner layer, and a braid provided on an outer periphery of the inner layer. The braid includes a first wire and a second wire that are woven together. The catheter further includes a tip provided on a distal end of the inner layer and a distal end of the braid. A residual portion having a sharp shape formed at a distal end of the first wire when the first wire is cut is not left untreated, but is formed into a bulging portion.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method for generating creatives includes creating a first composite template. The method also includes defining one or more template elements for use with the first composite template. The method further includes assigning data to each of the one or more template elements. The method also includes generating a first creative based on the first composite template and the assigned data. The first creative comprises one or more creative elements corresponding to the one or more template elements.

Abstract: Plural composite panels are aligned in multiple horizontal rows. Each composite panel includes a titanium panel (anode), an electrical insulating member and a stainless-steel band member. The titanium panels (also, stainless-steel band members) of horizontally adjacent panels overlap each other to be in face-to-face contact. The stainless-steel band members are horizontally connected at different levels to form long negative electrodes (cathode) extending in seawater-flowing direction in an inlet channel. Each stainless-steel band member is exposed to seawater through a gap between vertically adjacent composite panels.
