Publication number: 20050185871Abstract: A wheel axle bearing unit for a vehicle is to be made lighter in weight, so as to prolong a life span thereof. A first grooved portion is formed by removing an excess in thickness in a region between dual raceways on an outer circumferential surface of a hub and an inner race which constitute the inner member of the wheel axle bearing unit, for enlarging a space inside the bearing, thereby increasing an amount of grease that can be retained in the region between the dual raceways. Also at a position corresponding to the first grooved portion, a second grooved portion is formed by removing an excess in thickness on an inner circumferential surface of an outer race, which constitutes an outer member.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 24, 2005Publication date: August 25, 2005Inventors: Shinji Morita, Hisashi Ohtsuki

Publication number: 20050033930Abstract: When a snapshot of data is taken, it is after a write request comes from the host equipment that old data on the source-side magnetic disk to the snapshot-side magnetic disk; therefore, it takes a long time before new data is actually written in the source-side magnetic disk. To overcome this problem, by analyzing data update information, and from a result of analysis, by deciding an area that has high possibility of receiving a request to write data, and having data of that area previously copied to the snapshot-side magnetic disk, it is possible to take a snapshot very quickly.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 7, 2004Publication date: February 10, 2005Applicant: Hitachi, Ltd.Inventors: Yumiko Haruma, Koji Sugiyama, Kei Kubo, Yoshihito Yugami, Shinji Morita

Patent number: 6275856Abstract: When a computer as a logical connection destination which detected a search objective user issues a search request to first one of computers which established logical connections associated with the search objective user, the first computer selects users who used my computer in a use time of the search objective user, and executes the search request over the computers which established the logical connections associated with the selected users. The same search request is sequentially carried out over m candidates of the logical connection originator computer of my computer down to an m-th computer. Search results (a computer identifier of my computer and user identifiers of the selected users) obtained by the m computers are collected in the respective computers and returned to the logical connection destination computer in an order opposite to the search request order.Type: GrantFiled: February 22, 2000Date of Patent: August 14, 2001Assignees: Hitachi, Ltd., Hitachi Information Networks, Ltd.Inventors: Toshiaki Hirata, Akihiro Urano, Shuji Fujino, Mitsugu Yamada, Hidetomo Nakano, Shinji Morita, Satoshi Miyazaki
