  • Publication number: 20240094935
    Abstract: An information processing apparatus determines, for each of packed objects recorded on one data-migration-source magnetic tape, whether or not to regenerate the packed objects by using objects included in the packed objects, generates a second packed object by using objects included in a first packed object determined as being regenerated, performs control of distributing and recording a plurality of second packed objects and parity data on a plurality of magnetic tapes, and performs control of recording a packed object determined as not being regenerated on a magnetic tape different from the data-migration-source magnetic tape.

  • Patent number: 5147801
    Abstract: A culture medium device in the form of a sheet comprises a base sheet member composed of an upper sheet having a hydrophilic property such as filter paper, a lower sheet having a water repellent property covering a lower surface of the upper hydrophilic sheet and a sheet member having a water repellent property preferably in the form of a film having a character suitable for bacteria to be treated. A gel agent or gelatinizer containing bacteria culturing nutrient is dispersed on an upper surface of the upper hydrophilic sheet of the base sheet member and the gel agent or gelatinizer is absorbed in the upper hydrophilic sheet and then solidified. The upper water repellent sheet member is applied so as to cover the upper surface of the upper hydrophilic sheet of the base sheet member.
