  • Publication number: 20110153968
    Abstract: When there is a change in a group of volumes managed by a host computer, data duplication processing is immediately carried out against the changed volume. The host computer includes a volume-managing portion, a data duplication-controlling portion which executes the data duplication of data stored in a volume in a main data center, and a data duplication storing portion which stores data necessary for the data duplication. The data duplication-controlling portion compares data held by the volume-managing portion with the data in the data duplication storing portion, and updates the data in the data duplication storing portion based on the data held by the volume-managing portion.

  • Patent number: 7769969
    Abstract: A host computer acquires remote copy status information of storage subsystems that are not directly coupled to the host computer. Each storage subsystem comprises: a unit which receives a status information acquisition command from the host computer; a unit which analyses the received command to judge whether the storage subsystem in question is a target of the command; a unit which sends the command to a downstream storage subsystem connected to the storage subsystem in question when the storage subsystem in question is not the target; and a unit which sends status information to an upstream storage subsystem connected to the storage subsystem in question when the status information is received from the downstream storage subsystem.

  • Publication number: 20080294888
    Abstract: A deploy target computer is connected to a storage device including a replication source logical disk used to store a boot disk image. A disk mapping processing part in the deploy target computer changes over access destination so as to set the access destination to the replication source logical disk in the storage device when an I/O request is issued from the deploy target computer to the storage device and the I/O request specifies reading the boot disk image, and so as to set the access destination to a replication destination logical disk for conducting writing concerning the boot disk image when the I/O request specifies writing concerning the boot disk image.

  • Patent number: 6181424
    Abstract: A three-dimensional measurement apparatus for measuring three-dimensional information of an object with high speed and high accuracy is disclosed. A laser light is converted to a collimated light, which forms a stripe of light on an object through a projection unit. The projection unit is moved back and forth by a linear motor along the collimated light in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the stripe of light. Since the projection unit projects a light stripe of constant width on the object with constant reception of the collimated light, a plurality of stripes of light can be formed on the object by means of simple movement of the projection unit. The area on the object scanned by the plurality of stripes of light is captured by a CCD camera, and three-dimensional information is measured using the light-section method.

  • Patent number: 4871493
    Abstract: In preparing a film by extruding a molten thermoplastic resin, a heater in which a temperature profile varying in the width direction can be set is arranged in the width direction in the vicinity of a die lip, and a temperature sensor for detecting a resin temperature profile in the vicinity of the outlet of the die lip and a sensor capable of detecting a thickness profile of a film or the like in the width direction are disposed. The output of the heater is controlled according to signals from the temperature sensor and thickness sensor to automatically adjust the thickness of the film or the like in the width direction, whereby a homogeneous film with a reduced thickness unevenness can be stably prepared with a high precession of control of the thickness unevenness. .

  • Patent number: 4790676
    Abstract: Disclosed is a film for a printer ribbon, which is made of a resin composition comprising, 55 to 95% by weight of high-density polyethylene and 5 to 45% by weight of low-density polyethylene and having a melt tension of at least 1.4 g and a density of 0.94 to 0.96 g/cm.sup.3. The film is made by the T-die-chill roll method wherein a good stability at both ends of the extruded molten resin film is maintained to prevent the occurrence of an uneven thickness or formation of wrinkles, and wherein undesirable engulfment of air between the molten resin film and the chill roll is avoided.
