The selection unit selects a first response condition in response to a data write request on the basis of the write time of each of the plurality of nodes such that the response time for the data write request becomes shorter than a requirement value of the write time and the number of nodes in which writing has been completed increases. The selection unit selects a second response condition in response to a data read request on the basis of the first response condition and the read time of each of the plurality of nodes such that the response time for the data read request becomes shorter than a requirement value of the read time.Type: GrantFiled: July 25, 2019Date of Patent: April 9, 2024Assignee: Nippon Telegraph and Telephone CorporationInventors: I Syu, Nobuhiro Kimura, Kotaro Mihara

Patent number: 9184448Abstract: Provided is a method of producing an aluminum structure using a porous resin molded body having a three-dimensional network structure, with which it is possible to form an aluminum structure having a low oxide content in the surface of aluminum (i.e., having an oxide film with a small thickness), and in particular, it is possible to obtain an aluminum porous body that has a large area. The method includes a step of preparing an aluminum-coated resin molded body in which an aluminum layer is formed, directly or with another layer therebetween, on a surface of a resin molded body composed of urethane, and a heat treatment step in which the aluminum-coated resin molded body is subjected to heat treatment at a temperature equal to or higher than 270° C. and lower than 660° C. to decompose the resin molded body.Type: GrantFiled: February 1, 2012Date of Patent: November 10, 2015Assignee: SUMITOMO ELECTRIC INDUSTRIES, LTD.Inventors: Kotaro Kimura, Akihisa Hosoe, Takayasu Sugihara, Osamu Ohama, Kazuki Okuno, Tomoyuki Awazu, Koji Nitta

Publication number: 20120067730Abstract: A porous resin article having a three-dimensional network structure is used. A resin molded body at least the surface of which has been subjected to conductive treatment is plated with aluminum in a molten salt bath to form an aluminum structure, thus forming a porous aluminum that includes an aluminum layer having a thickness in the range of 1 to 100 ?m, has an aluminum purity of 98.0% or more and a carbon content of 1.0% or more and 2% or less, and contains inevitable impurities as the balance. Even with a porous resin molded body having a three-dimensional network structure, this allows the surface of the porous resin molded body to be plated with aluminum, thus forming a high-purity aluminum structure having a uniform thick film.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 20, 2011Publication date: March 22, 2012Applicant: SUMITOMO ELECTRIC INDUSTRIES, LTD.Inventors: Kengo GOTO, Akihisa HOSOE, Masatoshi MAJIMA, Kazuki OKUNO, Koji NITTA, Hajime OTA, Shoichiro SAKAI, Shinji INAZAWA, Kotaro KIMURA, Tomoyuki AWAZU
