  • Patent number: 9884710
    Abstract: A lid member for a press-through package, and a press-through package packing body using the same, includes a lid member which is not to be inadvertently torn, while tablets or capsules as its contents can be removed under a uniform opening strength by a predetermined force or more using fingers. The lid member of the packing body includes a resin film, an adhesive, an aluminum foil, and a thermal adhesive layer, in which tapered through holes are formed in the resin film. The resin film is laminated to the aluminum foil to reinforce the lid member so that the lid member is not to be inadvertently torn. When contents of a container are pushed out using fingers, the lid member is broken starting from the tapered through holes provided in the resin film, and so the contents can be easily taken out.

  • Patent number: 9806996
    Abstract: An effect range identifying unit identifies servers that were in communication. Then, the effect range identifying unit identifies virtual machines that were in communication in the identified servers. However, the effect range identifying unit excludes the virtual machine in which the time elapsed after the occurrence of the failure is greater than the aging time from the virtual machines that were in communication. Furthermore, the effect range identifying unit refers to the ARP management table and excludes the virtual machine in which the failure occurrence time is not greater than the transmission time from the virtual machines that are in communication. Then, the effect range identifying unit refers to VM allocation information and tunnel path information and identifies a tenant and a communication path that are affected by the failure.

  • Publication number: 20170138842
    Abstract: In the present invention, without decreasing measurement accuracy, a biological component information measurement device can have a miniaturized device structure. In a biological component information measurement device (100), a sample container (104) accommodates a measurement target (105) such as blood, cultured cells, or urine, and a light from a light source (101) is separated into spectral components using a rotating diffraction grating (110) and caused to be incident on the measurement target (105). Due to this configuration, it is possible to reduce the number of parts of a spectral optical system and the amount of space required therefor. As a result, it is possible to, in particular, miniaturize the spectral optical system without decreasing measurement accuracy.
