Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a labeling apparatus that allows a labeling operation to be carried out continuously for a long period without the need of cleaning, even if the easy-to-peel labels are used. To accomplish the above object, the present invention provides a conveying drum for correcting a position of a label applied with glue, while transferring the label. The conveying drum includes a predetermined groove extending circumferentially along an outer surface of the conveying drum.

Abstract: User data backup functions are realized through a computer, which is located on the management service provider corporation side and interfaces between a user side computer environment and a storage service side computer environment to support storage service. This computer selects storage devices which meet the user side conditions from a plurality of entirely or partially empty storage devices owned by the storage service side computer environment. The computer receives user data from the user side computer environment, divides the user data into records of a predetermined size and transmits the records to the storage service side computer environment so that the records are distributed and stored to the selected storage devices.

Abstract: A method for enabling logical configuration information to be divided into those in specific ranges, thereby making it easier to manage logical configuration information of each of distributed computers. The above method, which manages configuration information of each of distributed computers, comprises a step of setting up configuration information in a specific range in a computer in the specific range; a step of requesting acquisition of configuration information set up in another computer; a step of sending configuration information set up in a subject computer to above-described another computer; and a step of updating configuration information of the subject computer with configuration information received from above-described another computer.

Abstract: The present invention is characterized by user data backup functions realized through a computer, which is located on the management service provider corporation side and interferes between a user side computer environment and a storage service side computer environment to support storage service. This computer selects plural storage devices which meet the user side conditions from a plurality of empty storage devices owned by the storage service side computer environment, receives user data from the user side computer environment, divides the user data into records of a predetermined size and transmits the records to the storage service side computer environment so that the records are to be distributed and stored to the selected plural storage devices.

Abstract: When a computer as a logical connection destination which detected a search objective user issues a search request to first one of computers which established logical connections associated with the search objective user, the first computer selects users who used my computer in a use time of the search objective user, and executes the search request over the computers which established the logical connections associated with the selected users. The same search request is sequentially carried out over m candidates of the logical connection originator computer of my computer down to an m-th computer. Search results (a computer identifier of my computer and user identifiers of the selected users) obtained by the m computers are collected in the respective computers and returned to the logical connection destination computer in an order opposite to the search request order.

Abstract: A detection method of an illegal access to a computer system includes a step a) of collating user identification information inputted from an input unit in one or more log-in operations with user authentication information registered in the computer system, a step b) of detecting the number of times that the identification information is not coincident with the authentication information in a series of log-in operations within a predetermined term, a step c) of obtaining final log-in information indicating whether the identification information is coincident with the authentication information or not in a final log-in operation, and a step d) of comparing the number of times in respect to the incoincidence and the final log-in information with a predetermined judgment standard to thereby detect the presence of the illegal access.

Abstract: A computer for gathering log data includes a device for normalizing the log data by cutting out values corresponding to pre-defined data items from log data in log files of respective computers on the alert and re-arranging the values of data items defined, and storing the normalized log data therein and a device for gathering the stored normalized log data into a computer having a manager function. Further, when the normalized log data have log data output times corrected on the basis of a time of the computer having the manager function, the normalized log data are stored in order of the corrected log data output times.
