Patent number: 9418014Abstract: A storage control device configured to control a storage device includes a first disk which is in active state and a second disk which is in standby state. The storage control device includes a communication unit and a control unit. The communication unit transmits a read-out request or a write request to the storage device and receives a response to the read-out request or the write request from the storage device. The control unit controls the communication unit so that the communication unit transmits a rotation start command which instructs a start of rotation of the second disk to the storage device, when a time to the point when receiving the response to the read-out request or the write request transmitted to the first disk which is in active state is longer than a predetermined threshold.Type: GrantFiled: August 9, 2013Date of Patent: August 16, 2016Assignee: FUJITSU LIMITEDInventors: Kazunori Kobashi, Hiroshi Murayama, Minoru Maeda, Toshihide Yanagawa, Keiichi Nakai

Patent number: 9300181Abstract: A conveying apparatus includes: a housing; a movable member; a linear motor; and a cover. The linear motor includes a primary magnetic pole and a secondary magnetic pole each having a facing surface that faces the other and that is a plane along the longitudinal direction of the housing. The cover allows the primary magnetic pole to be located in an atmospheric environment, and the secondary magnetic pole to be located in a vacuum environment or a reduced pressure environment by separating the primary magnetic pole and the secondary magnetic pole from each other. The primary magnetic pole and the secondary magnetic pole face each other so that a direction of a magnetic attraction force generated therebetween and acting on their facing surfaces is different from directions of forces acting, due to an atmospheric pressure outside the housing, on the wall of the housing on which the cover is provided.Type: GrantFiled: December 19, 2013Date of Patent: March 29, 2016Assignee: SINFONIA TECHNOLOGY CO., LTD.Inventors: Minoru Maeda, Yosuke Muraguchi, Mamoru Kosaki, Takashi Fujiwara
