  • Patent number: 7987387
    Abstract: There is provided a file sharing system which allows accessing a memory that stores failure information and using the failure information even in a case where a CPU is shut down. When a failure occurs on a substrate, a control circuit on the substrate detects the failure and stores the information on the failure to an NVRAM. In a normal case, an OS loads the failure information and transmits it to a PC for maintenance. Upon shut down of the OS, a BMC loads the failure information from the NVRAM according to an instruction from the PC for maintenance. If an operator operates a manual switch upon power shut down, the BMC operates with the power supply from a battery, and the failure information is obtained from the NVRAM.

  • Patent number: 7884534
    Abstract: In a PDP, an end of a first partition (124) is provided with a partition end 126 whose height dimension and width dimension are smaller than those of the first partition (124). With this arrangement, when a nozzle is moved from a portion between the partition ends (126) on a first side to a portion between the partition ends (126) on a second side in a phosphor layer forming step for forming a phosphor layer, a phosphor paste can be uniformly applied to recessed portions (123A), thereby easily providing the PDP that includes the phosphor layer with which good images can be realized.

  • Patent number: 7822824
    Abstract: The file sharing system of the present invention is capable of starting up a file sharing device and preventing the connection of an external storage medium to an erroneous host using information that is saved in the external storage medium. In cases where the maintenance exchange work for a NAS device is performed, the collection section collects information that is required in order to start up the NAS system section. The saving section stores the collected information in the USB memory as startup information. In cases where the NAS device is returned after the maintenance exchange is complete, the USB memory is attached to the NAS device. The setting section reads the startup information that is stored in the USB memory and sets the communication control section in accordance with an instruction from the startup control section. As a result, the NAS-OS is read from the logical volume in the storage device and the NAS system section starts up.

  • Patent number: 7741777
    Abstract: A PDP includes a guide partition (127) that extends substantially along a center line F between a pair of first partitions (125) at a position spaced apart from an end of the nearest first partition (125) by a distance H. In a phosphor forming step, a phosphor paste is initially applied on the guide partition (127) by a nozzle (200), which has been located above the guide partition (127). Then, the nozzle (200) is moved to provide a phosphor layer whose end is formed on the guide partition (127).

  • Patent number: 7722420
    Abstract: A manufacturing method of a PDP includes: a partition forming step to form a first partition (124) and a second partition (125) substantially perpendicular to the first partition (124) on an address-electrode dielectric layer (122) of a rear substrate (120); a base layer forming step to form a base layer after the partition forming step by moving a base-forming-agent applying nozzle (200) along a second groove formed between the second partitions (125) and applying a base forming agent (201) thereto; and a phosphor layer forming step to form a phosphor layer after the base layer forming step by moving a phosphor applying nozzle along a first groove formed between the first partitions (124) and applying a phosphor paste thereto.
