  • Patent number: 11869280
    Abstract: An information providing method is performed in an information providing system. The information providing method includes: acquiring pieces of speed information of a vehicle in association with identification information of an in-vehicle device from the in-vehicle device via roadside antennas, each of the pieces of speed information having been stored in the in-vehicle device each time the vehicle moves a prescribed distance before the vehicle passes by the roadside antennas; and causing an information display device to display evaluation information in association with the identification information, the evaluation information indicating a frequency of occurrence of sudden acceleration or deceleration events of the vehicle obtained from a proportion of differences between calculation values outside a threshold range, the calculation values being calculated on the basis of the pieces of speed information in a prescribed period corresponding to the pieces of speed information stored in the in-vehicle device.

  • Publication number: 20230357767
    Abstract: The present invention aims to provide a new nucleic acid molecule for suppressing expression of the target gene, which (1) has a gene expression suppressing activity equivalent to or higher than that of siRNA, (2) shows no off-target effect of the sense strand, and (3) makes it possible to design a wider range of antisense strand sequences (extends the range of targetable sequences). Since the nucleic acid molecule of the following formula: wherein each symbol is as defined in the DESCRIPTION, has the superior properties of the above-mentioned (1) to (3), it is extremely useful as a novel gene expression inhibitor that replaces conventional siRNA.

  • Publication number: 20220379959
    Abstract: A vehicle includes a processor, a memory having instructions, and an output device. The instructions, when executed by the processor, cause the vehicle to perform operations including: detecting a boundary line of the lane on which the vehicle is running; estimating a center position of the lane on which the vehicle is running on the basis of the detected boundary line; calculating an offset indicating a displacement in a vehicle width direction from the center position of the lane in accordance with the estimated center position of the lane and a vehicle width such that the offset varies dynamically; performing a steering control in the vehicle width direction on the basis of the offset; and generating notification information for announcing a content of the steering control.

  • Patent number: 10606503
    Abstract: In a state where one of physical storage regions is allocated to each of unit regions included in a logical storage region, an apparatus identifies, from among the unit regions, first unit regions which have been allocated from physical storage regions whose allocations to the first unit regions are to be changed. The apparatus sequentially selects, from among the first unit regions, a second unit region as a candidate for data migration, and instructs data migration of the second unit region between the physical storage regions. The apparatus determines whether data migration of any one of the unit regions whose data has been instructed to be migrated is being executed on each of multiple divided regions obtained by dividing a physical storage region to which data of the second unit region is to be migrated, and instructs data migration of the second unit region based on the determination.

  • Patent number: 9971527
    Abstract: A storage management apparatus includes an acquiring unit and a control unit. When a first storage apparatus is active and a second storage apparatus is on standby and backup data corresponding to a plurality of data stored in the first storage apparatus are stored in the second storage apparatus, the acquiring unit acquires frequency information from the first storage apparatus, which shows frequency of access from a host apparatus to individual data in the plurality of data. Based on the frequency information, the control unit executes a deciding process that decides in which out of a plurality of storage regions with different access performance provided by the second storage apparatus respective data in the backup data are to be placed, and transmits instruction information to the second storage apparatus, which has the respective backup data placed in the storage regions decided by the deciding process.

  • Patent number: 9866439
    Abstract: A first setting information notification unit notifies a management apparatus via a relay apparatus of first setting information. A setting information generation unit generates third setting information from the first setting information and second setting information. For example, the setting information generation unit generates the third setting information by complementing the first setting information with the second setting information that is preliminarily stored in a setting information storage unit. A communication confirmation unit confirms communication based on the third setting information between a first communication apparatus and a second communication apparatus. A second setting information notification unit notifies the relay apparatus, the first communication apparatus, and the second communication apparatus of the third setting information.

  • Publication number: 20170329553
    Abstract: A short-term tier control unit causes a storage device to execute first relocation, based on an access frequency to each of a plurality of storages with different performances provided in the storage device during a first period, of data stored in each of the storages to each of the storages and to return the data from the first relocation to an original location state. A long-term tier control unit determines a second relocation state of the data to each of the storages based on the access frequency to each of the storages during a second period that is longer than the first period, causes the storage device to execute second relocation, based on the second relocation state, of data on which the first relocation is not performed, and changes the original location state of the data on which the first relocation is performed to the second relocation state.
