Patent number: 9158666Abstract: If simultaneous replacement main system and standby system of a management module was necessary due to a failure, fault or other problem in a structure containing redundant management modules, then the management information retained in the management module will be lost. A computer system contains an external storage device that is outside the manager module. This external storage device stores the same information as the management information held by the main system management module, and after replacing the management modules the management information held in the external storage device is restored in the management module. A switch is further included between the external storage device and the management module, and controlling this switch from the management module allows the plurality of management modules to exclusively access the external memory device.Type: GrantFiled: October 23, 2012Date of Patent: October 13, 2015Assignee: Hitachi, Ltd.Inventors: Kaoru Kawamata, Takeshi Fukue, Mitsuaki Watanabe

Patent number: 9142223Abstract: A sound process apparatus includes a processor. The processor may execute instructions, which are stored on a memory, and when executed cause the sound process apparatus to perform operations. An obtaining operation may obtain sound data in a remote site. A first determining operation may determine volume levels of voice and noise in the remote site based on the sound data. A second determining operation may determine a volume level of noise in a local site based on the sound in the local site. A third determining operation may determine a target volume level based on the volume level of the voice in the remote site, the volume level of the noise in the remote site, and the volume level of the noise in the local site. A notifying operation may notify a user of the target volume level.Type: GrantFiled: September 27, 2012Date of Patent: September 22, 2015Assignee: Brother Kogyo Kabushiki KaishaInventor: Mitsuaki Watanabe

Patent number: 8819319Abstract: A PCI card's HBA identifier table held in an IODC in an IO slot expansion unit is read and recorded on a PCIe switch register of a PCIe switch. After a server blade is powered on so that an EFI is activated, the EFI reads the HBA identifier table recorded on the PCIe switch register and updates an HBA identifier of an HBA mounted in each PCI card. The HBA mounted in the PCI card operates with the updated HBA identifier of the PCI card. Thus, even when the PCI card is replaced by a new PCI card because of failure or the like, the new PCI card can operate with the same HBA identifier as that before the replacement. Therefore, a user does not have to register the HBA identifier of the PCI card newly in a device connected to the PCI card.Type: GrantFiled: December 16, 2011Date of Patent: August 26, 2014Assignee: Hitachi, Ltd.Inventors: Yoshihide Shirai, Mitsuaki Watanabe

Patent number: 8706284Abstract: A diagnostic system to diagnose a pressure profile of a molding machine M in an operating state is disclosed. The pressure profile of the molding machine M in the operating state is measured with a pressure sensor of a measurement system 3. In a diagnostic system A, a database is formed such that a reference pressure profile and the actual pressure profile selected according to a mold to be made are preserved therein. The diagnostic system A compares the reference pressure profile to the actual pressure profile in the database to determine whether the actual pressure profile is within a predetermined tolerance.Type: GrantFiled: April 25, 2008Date of Patent: April 22, 2014Assignee: Sintokogio, Ltd.Inventor: Mitsuaki Watanabe

Patent number: 8341390Abstract: In a computer system including a server having a BIOS and a management module, the server includes therein a memory area and a server controller, and the management module includes therein a backup memory area and a management-module controller. When the BIOS changes the BIOS setting, the BIOS stores the BIOS setting into both of the memory area and the backup memory area by way of the server controller and the management-module controller. Here, the management module operates independently of the server. Accordingly, when a BIOS-setting read request is issued from the outside, the management-module controller makes the response to the request source by reading the data stored into the backup memory area.Type: GrantFiled: November 25, 2009Date of Patent: December 25, 2012Assignee: Hitachi, Ltd.Inventor: Mitsuaki Watanabe

Patent number: 7515066Abstract: In an apparatus for providing information about a vehicle's surroundings, if failure in a sensor occurs, a warning fault calculating unit registers “fault” in the entry of a warning type influenced by the failure in the sensor and generates a message warning that an operation fault has occurred in the warning type due to the failure. A warning generating unit determines whether the vehicle is in a state in which a warning the warning type should be generated on the basis of sensor information received from a sensor information processing unit. If the warning should be generated, the warning generating unit transmits a warning of the warning type to a warning output control unit. The warning generating unit does not transmit a warning of the warning type if the fault status of the warning type is “fault”.Type: GrantFiled: June 14, 2006Date of Patent: April 7, 2009Assignee: Alpine Electronics, Inc.Inventor: Mitsuaki Watanabe

Patent number: 7386650Abstract: A memory test circuit receives test pattern data from a processing unit having a first data width, expands the test pattern to a second data width greater than the first data width, and writes the expanded test pattern data into a memory having the second data width, thereby avoiding the need for extra write cycles when a processing unit tests a memory having a greater data width. The test pattern data may be expanded by, for example, copying a specific bit to multiple bit positions, inverting a specific bit and copying the inverted bit to multiple bit positions, or performing arithmetic operations that generate a test pattern similar to the test pattern received from the processing unit.Type: GrantFiled: February 3, 2004Date of Patent: June 10, 2008Assignee: Oki Electric Electric Industry Co., Ltd.Inventor: Mitsuaki Watanabe
