Abstract: A control method in which a computer executes processing includes: specifying a first data group of which a processing load of a query is less than a first reference value, in a first data constellation, based on statistical information that indicates a statistical value regarding the processing load of the query, for each data group to be an access unit of the query, in the first data constellation included in a first execution environment included in a plurality of execution environments that has different data constellations; specifying a second execution environment that has a second data constellation that includes the specified first data group, included in the plurality of execution environments, other than the first execution environment; and controlling the plurality of execution environments to transmit a new query that uses the specified first data group as an access unit to the specified second execution environment.

Abstract: A solar battery (1) according to the present invention is configured such that a photovoltaic conversion stack part (17) of a current adjusting solar battery cell (3) has a band gap (Bg4) larger than a band gap (Bg1) in a buried layer (13) of an intermediate-band solar battery cell (2). The current adjusting solar battery cell (3) absorbs light having a wavelength equal to or shorter than a wavelength corresponding to a band gap (Bg4), and an amount of light to be absorbed by the intermediate-band solar battery cell (2) is accordingly reduced, whereby an amount of current which is generated in the intermediate-band solar battery cell (2) can be suppressed, and thus, an amount of heat which is generated in the intermediate-band solar battery cell (2) can be reduced and thermal damage to the solar battery (1) can be prevented.

Abstract: A corrugated tube, an apparatus and method for perforating the corrugated tube. The corrugated tube includes a tubular body having large and small diameter portions and a longitudinal slit formed along a generating line of the tube body. The tube includes a communication hole formed generally in the large-diameter portions. A tube guide is provided in the apparatus for guiding the tubular body during the process of forming the perforations.

Abstract: To provide a corrugated tube and an apparatus for and method of perforating a corrugated tube, which are capable of rapidly discharging water, such as water intruding into the inside and condensation water, to the outside and in which a plurality of communication holes can be positively and efficiently formed respectively in predetermined portions of a peripheral surface of a tube body. For example, a wire harness or the like is inserted into a corrugated tube 10 through a slit 12 formed in a tube body 11 of a tubular shape along a generating line of the tube body, the tube body having larger-diameter portions 20 and smaller-diameter portions 30 which are arranged alternatively along the same axis. Usually, the corrugated tube 10, receiving the wire harness therein, is installed in such a manner that the slit 12 is disposed at a lower side, but there arises the case where the slit 12 can not be disposed at the lower side because of the installation direction and a change of the direction.

Abstract: A telephone dealer connects the cellular phone with a personal computer then starts an initial menu writing software on the personal computer. First, a command to display an initial menu of the cellular phone is outputted, and an information menu image is displayed on a display screen of the personal computer. The respective information on the menu image comprise characters linked to files in service centers where these information are written. The telephone dealer explains the respective information of the menu and the contents of the detailed information by using a pamphlet (paper) or a guidance image on the personal computer. The user selects information to be registered in the initial menu of the cellular phone. The telephone dealer inputs the information selected by the user into the personal computer, then the personal computer stores the information .

Abstract: A mobile communication terminal which stops the operation of a display portion when a user is unable to view the information displayed on the display portion in order to reduce unnecessary power consumption is provided. The mobile communication terminal contains a microphone, a microphone amplifier, a display, a display drive circuit, and a control circuit. The microphone receives a sound and outputs a corresponding input sound signal. The microphone amplifier inputs the input sound signal, amplifies the input sound signal to produce an amplified sound signal when set in an ON state, and does not produce the amplified sound signal when set in an OFF state. The display displays information, and the display drive circuit drives the display to display the information.

Abstract: A laminated film has layer(s) A and layer(s) B.sub.1, obtained by laminating at least one layer A and at least one layer B.sub.1. The layer A comprises a resin composition comprising (a) 20-100% by weight of an amorphous polyolefin containing at least one component, in an amount of at least 50% by weight in said amorphous polyolefin, selected from the group consisting of propylene and butene-1 and (b) 80-0% by weight of a crystalline polypropylene, (B) the layer B.sub.1 comprises a crystalline polypropylene. At least one of the two outermost layer is the layer B.sub.1. The laminated films can be used in various applications by themselves, but may be laminated with a polyester film, a nylon film, a stretched polypropylene film or the like to improve the mechanical strengths, gas-barrier property, printability, etc.

Abstract: A double cylinder shaped multilayer structural member comprising ring shaped thin plate small diameter discs and large diameter discs respectively layered via spacers is disposed in the enclosure vessel of a trap device for a vapor phase reaction apparatus. Gas from the intake opening section of the enclosure vessel is introduced into the outer side space of the multilayer structural member of the enclosure vessel, passes through the spaces between the large diameter discs and also passes through the spaces between the small diameter discs, then exits via the inner side space of the multilayer structural member from the outlet opening section of enclosure vessel to the system exterior. As a result of this construction, in comparison to conventional devices, the collection efficiency of reactive components can be increased, the equipment life extended, and maintenance frequency reduced, thereby providing a trap device for a vapor phase reaction apparatus capable of improving productivity.

Abstract: A laminated film has layer(s) A and layer(s) B.sub.1, obtained by laminating at least one layer A and at least one layer B.sub.1. The layer A comprises a resin composition comprising (a) 20-100% by weight of an amorphous polyolefin containing at least one component, in an amount of at least 50% by weight in said amorphous polyolefin, selected from the group consisting of propylene and butene-1 and (b) 80-0% by weight of a crystalline polypropylene, (B) the layer B.sub.l comprises a crystalline polypropylene. At least one of the two outermost layer is the layer B.sub.1. The laminated films can be used in various applications by themselves, but may be laminated with a polyester film, a nylon film, a stretched polypropylene film or the like to improve the mechanical strengths, gas-barrier property, printability, etc.

Abstract: In a magnetic recording and reproducing apparatus, amplitude errors of recording currents respectively supplied to a plurality of rotary magnetic heads are detected, and, in individual periods of sequential scanning of a magnetic recording medium by the plural rotary magnetic heads, the gain of a variable gain amplifier disposed in a signal recording system sequentially supplying an input video signal to the plural rotary magnetic heads is controlled so as to automatically adjust the value of the recording current supplied to each of the rotary magnetic heads.
