The exterior casing includes a hard disk accommodation unit which has a depth corresponding to the thickness and in which the hard disk drive is accommodated, an opening through which the hard disk drive is detachably mounted along the depth direction of the hard disk accommodation unit, and a cover for opening and closing the opening.

Abstract: It is an object of the present invention to provide a system in which a fuel cell can be operated by use of a fuel having a constantly optimum concentration. It is another object of the present invention to shorten the time taken in starting a fuel cell. A low-concentration fuel for performing mainly a power generation reaction and a high-concentration fuel for performing mainly the power generation reaction and a reaction for raising the temperature of a power generation cell are stored respectively in separate storage vessels, whereby the fuel supplied to a negative electrode can be instantaneously changed over according to the temperature of the power generation cell. This makes it possible to perform an operation at a constantly optimum fuel concentration.

Abstract: Disclosed is a message control device capable of processing messages in order suited for conveniences of a receiver, regardless of the order in which messages are sent. A receiver's terminal 3 registers a priority calculation expression in advance in a priority calculation formula DB 2a of a message control device 2 (S1). In the message control device 2, the meta data extraction section 2c extracts metadata from a message sent from senders' terminals 1, and lets a message storage DB 2d store the messages (S2). A priority calculation section 2b uses the priority calculation expression registered in the priority calculation formula DB 2a, to calculate priority of each message (S3). A message sending section 2e sends messages to a receiver's terminal 3 in accordance with priority (S4). As a result, the receiver's terminal 3 can receive messages form the senders' terminals 1 in the order of priority.

Abstract: A computer-readable medium storing a program that can produce execution flows of business-specific services automatically from a given business process model so as to deploy them on a plurality of servers. When a business process model is given, a service interface selector determines which service interface should be used to implement interactions between swimlanes of the business process model. An execution flow generator then creates an execution flow of each individual service defined by the corresponding swimlane and places functional elements of each swimlane in the corresponding execution flow, as well as adding input and output interfaces between different swimlanes according to the service interface chosen by the service interface selector. A service deployment unit then deploys the created execution flows on their corresponding servers.

Abstract: A determining unit determines processing for converting data, by referring to (A) use condition information in which data transmission methods and data format of senders and receivers are registered, (B) reception template information, in which the configuration of the processing is registered, and (C) transmission template information 231c. An executing unit executes the determined processing, to realize data conversion and transmission.

Abstract: An imaging device is composed of a main body casing and a monitor casing, which coincide with each other in their lengthwise direction when not in use at a first position and which, when in use at a second position, are swung relative to each other about a first pivot such that their lengthwise directions form an angle of 90 degrees. The monitor casing is made up of a first casing in which there exists the first pivot and a second casing which is joined to the first casing such that it swings about the second pivot. The first pivot is placed at a position displaced toward the left lateral side from the center of the width of the main body casing so that the second casing is positioned outside the left lateral side of the width of the main body casing when in use at the second position.

Abstract: A switching system for application services is provided with a terminal. At least one application processor stores a plurality of application programs for providing a plurality of the application services. Switching equipment couples the terminal to the application processor. The terminal has a specifying means for specifying one arbitrary application service out of the plurality of application services. When a user specifies the one arbitrary application service using the specifying means of the terminal, this information is transmitted to a common control unit of the switching equipment. The common control unit receives the application service specifying information from the terminal, and transfers this application specifying information to the application processor. The application processor selects the one arbitrary application service based on the application service specifying information which is transferred from the switching equipment.

Abstract: A two-step process for production of thermoplastic elastomer, which comprises dynamically vulcanizing polypropylene and olefinic rubber in the presence of peroxide (1st step), and dynamically vulcanizing the vulcanized mixture, polypropylene and halogenated butyl rubber in the presence of zinc oxide (2nd step). In another method (a) polyolefin and olefin rubber are dynamically cross-linked in the presence of an organic peroxide and (b) in a separate second operation a dynamically vulcanized blend comprising polyolefin and halogenated butyl rubber is prepared and mixed with (a) to disperse (a) and (b) in one another. The thermoplastic elastomer composition is useful in materials for parts of automobiles.In an example, pp 9 wt. % parts, EPDM 21 wt. % parts, peroxide 0.3 wt. % part and divinylbenzene 0.5 wt. % part were blended and supplied to the first hopper (1) of biaxial extruder as shown in a figure. In the first blending zone (2), temperature and residence time are 200.degree. C.

Abstract: (A) polypropylene (10-90 weight part), (B) halogenated butyl rubber (90-10 weight part, (A)+(B)=100 weight part), (C) olefinic rubber (10-120 weight part) and (D) mineral oil softening agent (5-120 weight part) are heated in the presence of (E) metal oxide and/or metal chloride. To 100 weight part of the resulting composition are added, (F) polyolefin (100-600 weight part) and (G) vulcanizable olefinic rubber (50-500 weight part) and the components are mixed and heated in the presence of (H) organic peroxide. The resulting thermoplastic elastomer composition has good paintability, moldability, compatibility, low temperature impact strength, and especially high stiffness at elevated temperature.

Abstract: A thermoplastic elastomer composition and process comprising a crystalline polyolefin, halogenated butyl rubber, olefin copolymer rubber, polyolefin modified with, e.g., maleic anhydride, and, optionally nitrile rubber, wherein the halogenated butyl rubber is at least partially crosslinked using a metal oxide and/or chloride, e.g., zinc oxide. Crosslinking is achieved under dynamic mixing conditions and the resulting composition has superior strength, performance and processing properties. Furthermore, use of nitrile rubber imparts improved oil resistance to the composition.

Abstract: This invention relates to a polyolefin composition with an improved weather resistance, which comprises a polyolefin blended with (1) a benzotriazole compound, (2) a heterocyclic hindered amine compound and (3) a phenyl benzoate compound or nickel complex compound.
