Abstract: A management system, which manages multiple monitoring target apparatuses, computes a certainty factor denoting the probability that a certain configuration change is the root cause of a performance failure that has occurred in a certain monitoring target apparatus based on rule information, computer system performance information, and a configuration change history, and displays management information from the standpoint of the configuration change based on the computation result.

Abstract: A management apparatus for managing a computer system stores configuration information of multiple management-target apparatuses based on multiple first information received from multiple management-target apparatuses. The management apparatus, based on the configuration information and multiple additional component application condition information, determines whether or not to use multiple additional component information to acquire multiple second information from the multiple management-target apparatuses. The management apparatus, in a case where a determination to carry out acquisition is made, uses the multiple additional component information to receive the multiple second information from the multiple management-target apparatuses, and based on the multiple second information, either creates or updates the management information of the multiple management-target apparatuses.

Abstract: A signal transmission system includes: a transmitting section including a first carrier signal generating section configured to generate a carrier signal for modulation and a first frequency converting section configured to generate a transmission signal by frequency-converting a transmission object signal by the carrier signal for modulation, the carrier signal for modulation being generated by the first carrier signal generating section; and a receiving section including a second carrier signal generating section configured to generate a carrier signal for demodulation and a second frequency converting section configured to frequency-convert the transmission signal received by the carrier signal for demodulation, the carrier signal for demodulation being generated by the second carrier signal generating section.

Abstract: A data migration method is provided which can provide a user at a low cost with a function of migrating data from an existing storage when an additional storage is installed. A business application is operated by using a business server and a first storage. When the capacity and performance of data used by a business application become insufficient, a second storage is installed to compensate for insufficiency. In this case, the management server collectively copies data and configuration information of the first storage to the second storage, the data and configuration information are deleted at a later time in accordance with migration command information selected from a GUI screen. It is therefore possible to migrate necessary data and configuration information of the first storage to the second storage, without making a user be conscious of the details of the configuration information of logical devices of a storage.

Abstract: A low common salt soy sauce, which has good flavor, significantly suppresses elevation of blood pressure, prevents cardiac hypertrophy, and is also available as special nutritious food, is obtained. 1.0% to 10.0% by weight of potassium chloride and 0.1% to 5.0% by weight of ?-aminobutyric acid are added to a reduced common salt soy sauce, so as to obtain a low common salt soy sauce of issue. Otherwise, a KCl-containing low common slat soy sauce is obtained by: (1) a common production method of soy sauce, in which a mixed solution consisting of KCl and common salt is used as mother water; (2) a method of subjecting a soy sauce obtained using saline solution as mother water to electrodialysis, a membrane treatment, or the like, so as to eliminate common salt from the above soy sauce, and then adding KCl thereto; or other methods.

Abstract: In a first-person gun shooting game or the like, when the player has performed a shooting operation, a bullet is fired from a gun held by a player's character. When the bullet has hit an enemy character, the enemy character is damaged. The bullet that has hit the enemy character rebounds from the enemy character and hits another object (wooden box) positioned near the enemy character so that the other object breaks.

Abstract: A purpose is to perform migration considering an I/O load that will be generated during the migration. To migrate data from one array group to another array group, a bandwidth that is available for use between the movement source array group and the movement destination array group is calculated, a volume whose write I/O amount is smaller than the calculated bandwidth is selected wherein the write I/O amount is the information transmission amount of information that is written, and data is migrated from the selected volume to the movement destination array group.

Abstract: A protection screen is placed between a cabin and a loading platform and mounted to a vehicle body. The loading platform is placed adjacent to a back surface of the cabin and joined at a rear portion thereof to the vehicle body via a pivot axis so as to be inclined from a horizontal normal position to a dump position where the loading platform is inclined upward to a front. The protection screen includes an upper screen having a width wider than that of seat backs of occupant seats provided in the cabin; a lower screen continuously connected to a lower end of the upper screen and having a width narrower than that of the upper screen; and a bracket connecting the upper and lower screens together.

Abstract: A performance margin of a disk group is calculated upon allocating volumes to disk groups based on a condition on performance requested per operating time zone of a volume designated by a client and on history information obtained from a result of actually operating the disk groups. In accordance therewith, a volume candidate is obtained, as an allocation target, from the disk groups and the obtained volume candidate is presented to the client. The client selects one of the volume candidates. It is possible to prevent deterioration in performance which is caused by excessive access performance of the allocated disk group when the volume is allocated and is operated.

Abstract: The invention provides an expansion valve maintaining the functions of the prior art expansion valve and at the same time realizing a simple arrangement with less components and less required number of assembly steps, and enabling to cut down assembly costs. A first passage 11 through which refrigerant flowing toward an evaporator 2 travels and a second passage 12 through which refrigerant flowing from the evaporator 2 toward a compressor 3 travels are formed within a valve body 10. In response to the temperature of the refrigerant traveling in the second passage 12, a valve actuating member 40? actuates a valve means 20 disposed in the valve body 10 to control the flow of the refrigerant entering the evaporator 2. A seal member 50 sealing the area between the first and second passages 11 and 12 is disposed between the valve body 10 and the valve actuating member 40?. A stopper portion 44 of the seal member 50 is integrally formed in advance to the valve actuating member 40?.

Abstract: Based on data specified by a client, data related to the specified data and relations between the specified data and the related data are retrieved. Next, storage tiers to which the data groups can be relocated and also relations between these data that can be built at the tiers are retrieved. These retrieved data are presented on the screen of the client to allow an administrator to select a storage tier of a relocation destination for the data group and a relation to be built at the tier. The data is then relocated and the relation rebuilt according to the selection made by the administrator.
