Abstract: A flux unit includes a flux supply device configured to eject flux to a storage tray, an ejection port configured to eject the flux, and an ejection port moving device configured to move the ejection port in the radial direction of the storage tray. By this, the flux is ejected in a wide range in the radial direction of the storage tray. Also, the storage tray is rotated by a tray rotation device. Thus, the film thickness of the flux ejected in the wide range of the storage tray is adjusted by a squeegee all at once. Thus, the time required for adjusting the film thickness of the flux can be reduced.

Abstract: A preliminary investigation execution unit sequentially sets a plurality of target values for each of predetermined times and then executes adjustment of a bandwidth of a storage apparatus on the basis of each of the set target values. A performance information acquisition unit obtains performance information for each of predetermined times regarding a business server in a case where adjustment of a bandwidth by the preliminary investigation execution unit is not performed, and obtains the performance information regarding the business server for the predetermined time for each of the target values in a case where adjustment of the bandwidth is performed by the preliminary investigation execution unit. A notification unit notifies the performance information obtained. A bandwidth management unit adjusts a bandwidth of the storage apparatus on the basis of a specific target value, on the basis of an input of the specific target value after notification.

Abstract: A parallel computing method by using a parallel computer having a plurality of processors is provided, wherein when a 2-electron integration is transformed from an atomic-orbital base (rs|tu) to a molecular-orbital base (ab|cd), indexes r and s of an atomic orbital to be calculated are designated for the plurality of processors and each of the plurality of processors performs processing for all combinations of designated indexes R and S, and indexes t and u of the atomic orbital to be calculated. Subsequently, the grain sizes are equalized, many commodity processors can be connected with high performance, and the cost of a high-speed operation computer reduces. Further, the computer can obtain a large main-memory area, as a whole, through the use of inexpensive local memories.

Abstract: When a signature is registered, a signature in Japanese characters, for example, ‘’ (‘Fujitsu’), or a signature in English characters, for example, ‘Fujitsu’ is input n times through an input device of an input equipment of a signature authentication system, and each element of the shape of handwriting, writing speed, writing acceleration, and writing pressure is computed. A combination of nC2 is set for each element of the data input n times, the reciprocal of each similarity is obtained, an average value of the similarity is computed for each element, a weight is determined for each similarity from the average value, a weighted average value of the four elements is computed and defined as the total similarity of the registered signature. In an authenticating process, signature data to be compared is input/output m times. In the same method, the total similarity of a signature to be compared is obtained.

Abstract: A user's handwritten signature data is transmitted to a host device, when the user registers his or her signature. A signature information controlling unit reads the codes of a character string of a font closest to handwriting shape data by referencing a signature dictionary information unit, extracts a predetermined number of digits of numeric values from the codes, generates a user ID by making the numeric values successive to the number of codes, and registers this user ID and the input handwritten signature to the signature dictionary information unit by making a correspondence between them. When a signature is authenticated, a user ID is automatically generated from a handwritten signature input by a user, and checked between generated user ID and registered user ID.

Abstract: When a user's signature is registered, an authentication server presents a password to the user. When the user hand-writes the password using an input device, the password and hand-written signature information are registered in a dictionary. At the time of authentication, the authentication server requests the user to hand-write the password. When the user hand-writes the password in response to the request, a signature information control unit compares the signature information newly hand-written by the user and the signature information registered in the dictionary, and outputs the result.
