Abstract: In a developing cartridge, a first supporting member is attached to a housing and has a first developing supporting portion and a driving-force-receiving-member supporting portion, the first developing supporting portion being configured to rotatably support a first part of a rotational shaft, the driving-force-receiving-member supporting portion being configured to rotatably support a driving-force-receiving member. The second supporting member is attached to the housing and has a second developing supporting portion and a detection-rotational-body supporting portion, the second developing supporting portion being configured to rotatably support a second part of the rotational shaft, the detection-rotational-body supporting portion being configured to rotatably support a detection rotational body.

Abstract: To increase the reliability of power supply control of a server group and reduce the power consumption of the server group.

Abstract: A distributed object management system includes: a completion information management portion which stores a relay state of the object server and which manages information of the object which should be transmitted again when the transmission to the object server is resumed; and a relay control portion which requests other object server to temporally exclude the object server that has transmitted the suspension request from a copying operation of the object and which, if the resume request is received from the object server that has transmitted the suspension request, requests said other object server to include the object server that has transmitted the resume request in the copying operation of the object again.

Abstract: Access destination determination means determines a read destination and/or a write destination of specified data from nodes corresponding to the data and stored in data store destination storage means. Access probability calculation means calculates an access probability based on a history of accesses to the data, and stores the calculated access probability in access probability storage means. When no node corresponding to the specified data is stored in the data store destination storage means, access probability estimation means estimates an access probability of the data based on access probabilities stored in the access probability storage means, and the access destination determination means determines a write destination of the data based on the estimated access probability.

Abstract: Provided is a data supply apparatus including a transmission device that sends data to another data supply apparatus; a reception device that receives data from another data supply apparatus; a data storing device that stores data in a storage device; and a data storage determination device that determines whether or not the received data should be stored in the storage device, based on a predetermined supply probability. In a typical example, the reception device receives the data to which supply probability information which indicates the supply probability has been appended; and the data storage determination device determines whether or not the received data should be stored in the storage device, based on the supply probability indicated by the supply probability information.

Abstract: A system includes a processing history recording means that records history information of information processing performed by an information processing means on data, a plurality of information storing means that store information in mutually different information storage formats, and an information storage format control means that controls to changes an information storage format of data, on the basis of a history of information processing performed on the data.

Abstract: The present invention provides information storage system and method capable of changing an information storage format to a format suitable for the data utilization form. There are provided a means that records history information of information processing on data, a plurality of information storing means that store information in mutually different information storage formats, and an information storage format control means that changes an information storage format of data, on the basis of a history of processing relating to the data.

Abstract: In a distributed file system, the load of a meta server, and communications traffic between a client and the meta server is reduced. Specifically, each of a plurality of clients is provided with an object position calculating section and an arrangement algorithm storage section, and acquires the meta data from the meta server, and determines the objects and the storage positions of the objects (e.g. the object server IDs) through calculation on the side of the client by using an arrangement algorithm ID, the arrangement parameter corresponding to the file which is contained in the meta data.
