Publication number: 20070055842Abstract: A burden placed on an administrator in creating a volume is reduced. An evaluation hint value and a performance hint value are employed as hint values for each hint. The evaluation hint value is determined by the administrator considering a service usage and the like of the service server 1 to which the volume is allocated. The performance hint value is used to determine a performance and a setting of the volume to be created in the storage system 3. The management server 2 has a conversion table indicating a correspondence between the evaluation hint value defined considering the hardware configuration and the performance hint value, with respect to each storage system 3. The management server 2 converts the evaluation hint value designated by the administrator to a performance hint value, by use of the conversion table associated with the storage system to which the volume is to be created, and the management server creates the volume in the storage system 3 according to the performance value.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 7, 2005Publication date: March 8, 2007Applicant: Hitachi, Ltd.Inventors: Shigeru Abe, Daisuke Shinohara, Hirotaka Nakagawa, Masayuki Yamamoto

Publication number: 20060085388Abstract: The present invention provides a high-performance storage access environment to a user who moves around a wide area, while increasing the fault resistance of the system. A plurality of network storages (volumes) is assigned to the user. Then, at the occasion of logging in to a volume by the user, the volume that can be accessed with high performance from a position he made access is located. Addresses at a computer with which user makes access are associated with addresses of the volumes provided by a storage device in advance in an assigned volume management table so as to increase access performance. Then, a management server performs control so that the address of the volume associated with the user access position is returned as a response, at the time of logging in.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 15, 2004Publication date: April 20, 2006Inventors: Daisuke Shinohara, Shigeru Abe, Yuichi Taguchi

Patent number: 5990944Abstract: A streak tube sweeping method in which a synchronization scan sweeping signal of a fixed repetition frequency is applied to vertical deflection plates in a streak tube, causing an electron beam, generated when a light to be measured is introduced to a photocathode in the streak tube, to sweep at the fixed repetition frequency across a phosphor screen in a first direction. At predetermined intervals that are multiples of the synchronization scan sweeping signal period, a horizontal blanking signal is applied to horizontal deflection plates in the streak tube, causing the electron beam to sweep a streak once every pulse across an output effective area of the phosphor screen. Hence, information of emitted light can be accurately measured even if the life of the light to be measured is longer than the period of the synchronization scan sweeping signal (or the period of the light pulse output from a laser light source, which is the source of the sweeping signal).Type: GrantFiled: July 18, 1997Date of Patent: November 23, 1999Assignee: Hamamatsu Photonics K.K.Inventor: Shigeru Abe

Patent number: 5543995Abstract: Method and apparatus for preventing reclosing of circuit breakers to reconnect a transmission line when a break fault occurs in the transmission line. A voltage at a fault point is estimated from opposite ends of the transmission line, and when those voltages are not equal, the break fault of the transmission line is determined, the break fault is displayed and the reclosing by a protective relay is prevented. By specifying a fault of the transmission line as a break fault, a recovery time of the transmission time is significantly reduced and an equipment is protected because the closing of the circuit breaker is blocked during the fault.Type: GrantFiled: June 1, 1993Date of Patent: August 6, 1996Assignee: Hitachi, Ltd.Inventors: Kajuaki Kumagai, Hiroshi Takiguchi, Shigeru Abe
