Abstract: An apparatus is installed in a main-unit device and used for transmission, where the main-unit device stores first setting information for setting the main-unit device and the apparatus, and the apparatus stores second setting information for setting the main-unit device and the apparatus, and determines whether one of the main-unit device and the apparatus has been replaced, based on the second setting information stored in the apparatus. When the apparatus has been replaced with a new apparatus having the same configuration, the apparatus copies the first setting information stored in the main-unit device into the new apparatus as the second setting information for the new apparatus. When the main-unit device has been replaced with a new main-unit device having the same configuration, the apparatus copies the second setting information stored in the apparatus into the new main-unit device as the first setting information.

Abstract: According to an aspect of an embodiment, an information processing apparatus includes a save unit, a stopping unit and a reserve power supply unit. The save unit saves, in a device including an uninterruptible power supply device, first information including information stored in a memory allocated to a virtual machine operated by the information processing apparatus and information stored in a register allocated to the virtual machine at a time of a power outage. The stopping unit stops the virtual machine when the save of the first information is completed. The reserve power supply unit supplies power needed for the processing performed by the save unit and the stopping unit at the time of the power outage.

Abstract: A backup power supply device that is used as a backup for a normal power supply device that includes a first converter configured to convert a first alternating-current voltage into a first direct-current voltage and a second converter configured to convert the first direct-current voltage into a second direct-current voltage includes a first detector that is coupled to an output of the first converter and outputs a first detection signal when the first direct-current voltage is lower than a first predetermined value; a third converter that converts a second alternating-current voltage into a third direct-current voltage; a battery that is charged by the third direct-current voltage; and a first switch that connects an output of the battery or an output of the third converter to an input of the second converter based on the output of the first detection signal.

Abstract: This information processing apparatus includes a display processing unit to perform, on a display device, display for requesting a user to collectively input, for each of plural apparatuses whose activation or stop is to be controlled, a first time for causing a power-supply start to be delayed since a power feeding start or a second time for causing a power-supply stop to be delayed since a power failure, by an uninterruptible power supply that supplies power to the apparatus among one or more uninterruptible power supplies or by a power feeding management group in the uninterruptible power supply; and a setting unit to set, for each of the plural apparatuses, the inputted first time or second time for the uninterruptible power supply that supplies power to the apparatus, via a communication network.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes a non-volatile storage device and a processor. The processor is configured to evacuate system information to the non-volatile storage device, when an outage is detected, after the evacuation, shut down the information processing apparatus, and when the information processing apparatus is restarted thereafter, resume a shutdown process on the information processing apparatus, using the system information in the non-volatile storage device.

Abstract: An uninterruptible power supply device has a main power source and a backup power source and supplies power to a computer. The uninterruptible power supply device has an output power detection circuit and a control circuit which measures time until a completion of the power-off process of the computer. The control circuit alerts or extends a set time until the power-off according to the measured time.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus duplicates the state of the own apparatus into a storage device at the time of the loss of a power supply. Furthermore, the information processing apparatus duplicates a difference of the state of the own apparatus at a predetermined time interval. Furthermore, the information processing apparatus estimates the time period needed to duplicate the difference. Then, the information processing apparatus determines whether the estimated time period is longer than the time period for which a battery operates the information processing apparatus at the time of the loss of the power supply. When the information processing apparatus determines that the estimated time period is longer than the time period for which the battery operates the information processing apparatus, the information processing apparatus reduces the time interval of the duplication.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method for preparing a molded article of an ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene which is characterized by compression-molding, or heating and pressurizing a porous sheet of said ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene. The porous sheet may be superposed with a substrate, and may be wrapped around a deformable member of a mold and densified by deformation of said member.

Abstract: A method for producing a thermoplastic resin sheet or a filler-containing thermoplastic resin sheet by which method a difficultly-workable thermoplastic resin as well as an ordinary thermoplastic resin can be formed into a sheet and various kinds of fillers can be compounded into the sheet. The method is characterized in that a thermoplastic resin or a composition of a thermoplastic resin and a filler is fed in powder or preformed sheet form between a pair of tensioned endless belts disposed parallel and travelling together around a set of rolls, the endless belts being heated by being brought into surface-to-surface contact with heating rolls while travelling along a path having at least one bend formed by the heating rolls, and the material is heated and compressed between the endless belts and melted into an integral body at or above the melting point or softening point of the thermoplastic resin.

Abstract: A novel method for producing laminated sheets or films consisting of a substrate layer or layers and a layer or layers of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene. The method is characterized by the steps of: superposing at least one layer of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene in powder or preformed sheet form and at least one layer of a substrate of another material upon one face of a tensioned endless belt travelling around a set of rolls, with an adhesive interposed between said layers if necessary; pressing or squeezing said ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene layer between said substrate layer and said endless belt, or between said substrate layers, against one or more heating rolls under the tension of said endless belt; heating at least said ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene layer to a temperature above its melting point; and thereby uniting said superposed ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene and substrate layers into a laminated sheet or film.

Abstract: A glycerol-enriched artificially botrytized grape must is obtained by adding cyclic-3',5'-adenylic acid or cyclic-3',5'-adenylic acid derivatives to a grape must and contacting the must aerobically with the mycelia of Botrytis cineria to increase the glycerol content of the must. A noble botrytized wine is obtained by adding a wine yeast to the above artificially botrytized grape must and subjecting the must to fermentation and subsequent aging.
