  • Publication number: 20190278568
    Abstract: A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium recording a generation program for causing a computer to execute processing includes: referring to a storage which identifiably stores whether or not an input value is specified for each of a plurality of programs corresponding to a plurality of processing included in a workflow to be created; specifying a first program in which the input value is specified and a second program in which the input value is not specified from among the plurality of programs; determining whether or not the input value of the second program is estimated based on the input value of the first program and a positional relation in the workflow between the specified first program and second program; and setting the input value of the first program as the input value of the second program when determining that the input value of the second program is estimated.

  • Publication number: 20190124437
    Abstract: A damper and a speaker apparatus includes the damper, which suppresses damage to an oscillatory system from an excessive input signal, enabling an efficiency increase of the speaker apparatus. As a damper has a planar surface, undue deformation of the oscillatory system due to an excessive input signal is suppressed, and damage to the oscillatory system can be suppressed. Furthermore, since the deformation of a corrugation portion by a normal input signal is hardly prevented, a reduction in sound pressure of the speaker apparatus with respect to an input signal is suppressed, enabling an increase in efficiency. Furthermore, the planar surface is extended at a height in a thickness direction different from that of an attachment portion. Thus, rising portions are deformed when a voice coil bobbin is oscillated, enabling suppression of rupture of the damper in the vicinity of a boundary between the planar surface and the attachment portion.

  • Patent number: 10148518
    Abstract: A management apparatus transmits a plurality of probe packets with different hop count limits to a remote computer of interest. Then, on the basis of responses to the probe packets, the management apparatus produces path data that indicates a path from the management apparatus to the remote computer. The management apparatus obtains type data from the remote computer and intervening computers on the path to the remote computer. This type data indicates whether each of the remote computer and intervening computers is a physical computer or a virtual computer. When the type data indicates that the remote computer is a virtual computer, the management apparatus determines a host physical computer that is hosting the remote computer, on the basis of the type data and path data.

  • Patent number: 9663912
    Abstract: A litter separating apparatus includes a frame, a churn-up mechanism provided at a front portion of the frame, and a mesh member provided at a rear portion of the frame. During operation, when the separating apparatus is towed on the surface of sand ground, the churn-up mechanism churns up litter along with sand, and throws thus churned up litter into said mesh member which catches the litter. The mesh member includes an encircling portion including a rear wall and side walls, and having an opening formed therein. The mesh member is attached pivotally to one of longitudinal members of the frame. An opening-closing plate is pivotally arranged around an open-side edge of one of the side walls on the longitudinal member to which the mesh member is pivotally attached. Such litter separating apparatus prevents litter from dropping out from the mesh member during collection of the litter.
