Abstract: Grinding chips generated during metalworking are collected, and dust is collected using a dust collector. A metalworking dust collection attachment removably attachable to a grinding tool including a tip tool includes a suction port that collects grinding chips generated during grinding with the tip tool, and a collector connected to the suction port to collect the grinding chips sucked into the suction port. The collector cools the grinding chips.

Abstract: A grinder includes a motor, a housing, a spindle and a cover. The spindle protrudes downward from the housing, is driven by the motor, and thereby rotates. The cover at least partially covers a tool accessory mounted on the spindle. The cover includes a first cover part and a second cover part. The first cover part is fixed to the housing and at least partially covers the tool accessory from above. The second cover part is held such that it is capable of moving relative to the first cover part. The grinder is configured such that the area of the tool accessory covered by the cover changes in accordance with the relative movement.

Abstract: An impact tool includes a bit holding device with an elongate tool holder having a bit holding hole with a tool bit, an outer shell component forming an outer shell of the bit holding device and mounted onto a front end portion of the tool holder, a stopper fitted onto the tool holder and prevented from moving in a longitudinal direction of the tool holder, and prevents the outer shell component from becoming detached from the front end of the tool holder, and an opening prevention member disposed outward of a center position of the stopper in the longitudinal direction of the tool holder and opposed to an outer surface of the stopper in a direction transverse to the longitudinal direction of the tool holder, and prevents the stopper from opening in the direction transverse to the longitudinal direction of the tool holder.

Abstract: A representative impact tool includes a bit holding device 104 that includes an elongate tool holder 151 having a bit holding hole 151a into which a tool bit 119 is removably inserted, an outer shell component 159 which forms an outer shell of the bit holding device 104 and is mounted onto a front end portion of the tool holder 151 by moving it from the front end of the tool holder 151 toward the tool body, a stopper 171 which is fitted onto the tool holder 151 such that it is prevented from moving in a longitudinal direction of the tool holder, and serves to prevent the outer shell component 159 from becoming detached from the front end of the tool holder 151, and an opening prevention member 175 which is disposed outward of a center position of the stopper 171 in the longitudinal direction of the tool holder 151 and opposed to an outer surface of the stopper 171 in a direction transverse to the longitudinal direction of the tool holder, and prevents the stopper 171 from opening in the direction transverse t

Abstract: Provided is a data storing system which holds only updated data by a snapshot action of a disk array subsystem. When there is generated a writing request to snapshot duplicate volumes as the duplicate data storing areas, unused pages for the requested amount is searched from a common logical-volume which is used in common as a real data storage area within the disk array subsystem, and address conversion of the page is performed. The result of the address conversion is held in a directory which is provided for each of the snapshot duplicate volumes. When making an access to the page thereinafter, the directory is always being referred to, and the address conversion is performed from the page of the snapshot duplicate volumes to the corresponding page of the common logical-volume.

Abstract: It is to provide a data storage system which causes no delay in the access performance of a master volume in the snapshot action of a disk array subsystem. The data duplication system comprises a temporary data duplication control device and a data duplication control device. The temporary data duplication device functions in such a manner that the master volume and a buffer volume that is built between the master volume and a snapshot volume keep the same volume image. The data duplication control device functions to minimize the I/O load upon the master volume by switching the master volume and the buffer volume as appropriate as the actual data reference target of the snapshot volume.

Abstract: A disk array subsystem including D disk apparatuses, wherein, there is a redundancy of N (N is an integer equal to or larger than 3), the disk array subsystem includes data regions of each of the disk apparatuses and (N?1) copy regions on each of the disk apparatuses, first copies of data to be stored in the data regions of each of the disk apparatuses are to be distributedly arranged in first copy regions of each of the disk apparatuses other than a disk apparatus from which the copies of data are to be distributedly arranged, and second copies of data to be stored in each of the first copy regions of each of the disk apparatuses are to be distributedly arranged, with respect to each of the first copy regions of each of the disk apparatuses, in second copy regions of each of the disk apparatuses other than a disk apparatus from which the second copies of data are to be distributedly arranged, and any of a disk apparatus that any of original data of the second copies are to be stored in the data region.

Abstract: A disk system has contents play-back restriction mechanism. A contents storage section, which contents received from a regular server are stored in. A capacitor charged with power supplied from the server. A volatile memory backed up by the capacitor and stores data necessary for the play-back of the contents received from the server. A controller for controlling the contents storage section and the volatile memory for reading and writing data when supplied with power from a regular player or the server.
