Abstract: A pool, which is configured by multiple actual areas, is formed on the basis of two or more storage devices. A second storage control apparatus (DKC) determines, for each storage device, an unused capacity to be given to a first DKC with respect to each first DKC based on an unused capacity of each storage device and a request value of each storage device for each first DKC, and gives, for each first DKC, the unused capacity for each storage device determined with respect to the first DKC, to this first DKC. The request value of the storage device is based on a performance value, which is a value related to the performance of this storage device. The total capacity of multiple actual areas allocated to the virtual volumes by the first DKC is equal to or less than the unused capacity given with respect to each storage device.

Abstract: The storage system of the present invention is able to generate one virtual logical device from different logical devices which exist in each of the different storage control units and remote-copy all or part of the virtual logical device to another logical device. The same virtual identifier is set for a volume of the first storage unit and for a volume of the second storage unit. The path control unit of the host identifies a plurality of volumes which have the same virtual identifier as one virtual volume. A remote copy pair can also be set by a virtual volume and a volume of the third storage unit. The setting of the virtual volume and the setting of the remote copy can be performed by means of an instruction from the management server.

Abstract: A control device for an electrically driven door is provided that can enhance the sensitivity of detection of a door pinch state and that can prevent a passenger from being pressed when the door pinch state occurs. The control device includes a driving force instruction value producing unit that outputs a driving force instruction value of the electrically driven door, a state observing unit that estimates a mechanical resistant force to a door driving system, a reference model that determines a dynamic characteristic of the electrically driven door to the mechanical resistant force estimated by the state observing unit, a gain compensator that computes a control compensation value that makes an output of the reference model coincide with an actual speed of the electrically driven door; and an adder that adds the control compensation value computed by the gain compensator to the driving force instruction value outputted by the driving force instruction value producing unit.

Abstract: A storage control system is provided where a first host system connected to a first storage controller can issue a control command to a second storage controller connected another host system. The first storage controller is connected to the second storage controller and the command is issued without providing the command to the other host system. The first storage controller has a virtual volume, a memory unit for storing information necessary for mapping the virtual volume to a logical device in the second storage controller, and attribute information for the logical device. The host system identifies the virtual volume as the logical device in the second storage controller and issues a control command to this logical device via the virtual volume.

Abstract: To easily transform three-dimensional data of a wire harness into a two-dimensional drawing. Wire harness data of a wire harness to be routed in a desired object is inputted to a computer. The wire harness data includes coordinate information which is three-dimensionally designed in a state adapted to the object of routing. A development plane for two-dimensionally developing the wire harness data is set. The wire harness data is divided into a plurality of segments S1 to S5 at predetermined division points, and is sequentially developed to the development plane on the segment unit basis from a start point P1 of a reference trunk line 17 via a branch line 18 to a termination point, thereby two-dimensionally developing the wire harness data on the segment unit basis so that all of the segments S1 to S5 are included in the development plane.

Abstract: A plurality of virtual volumes with different control functions are associated with one real volume and remote copying is conducted. A relay system comprises a plurality of virtual volumes V12, V21 mapped to the same real volume R1. A virtual volume V21 for transmission control is mapped to a real volume R1, a real volume R2 is mapped to the virtual volume V21, and the virtual volume V12 for reception control is mapped to the real volume R2. If a command is received from a local system 10, the virtual volume V12 for reception control writes data into the virtual volume V21 via the real volume R2 (virtual entity). The virtual volume V21 transmits the data to a copy destination volume V22 and writes the data into the real volume R1.
