Abstract:
A half-bridge inverter is used for a high frequency alternating current power supply to be connected to a primary side of a contactless power transformer, and a voltage-doubler rectifier is used to convert a secondary-side alternating current output of the contactless power transformer into a direct current.
Abstract:
A defect inspection apparatus includes: stages each mounting an inspecting object on which a circuit pattern having a group of parallel lines is formed, and each running perpendicular or parallel to the group of lines; an illumination optical system which illuminating a surface of the inspecting object with a slit beam being slit light so that a longitudinal direction of the slit beam is substantially perpendicular to the running directions of the stages, and which has a first inclined angle formed by the direction of the group of lines and a projection line, of an optical axis of the slit beam, to the inspecting object; a spatial filter that shields or transmits reflected and scattered light of the inspecting object according to a difference in distribution of orientation; and a detection optical system that detects the reflected and scattered light transmitted through the spatial filter by image sensors. Moreover, the illumination optical system illuminates the inspecting object with another slit beam from a direction opposite to an incident direction of the slit beam on a plane.
Abstract:
A capacity management method of managing a capacity of a storage unit of each storage in a computer system having a plurality of storage devices each having one or more storage units each providing one or more storage areas. The method includes the steps of: detecting a storage area relation between a first storage area and a second storage area; and calculating an estimated capacity necessary for the storage unit in accordance with a detection result.

Abstract:
In a multi-deck-elevator-equipped building control system, operating modes of an elevator control portion include a double operating mode. In the double operating mode, only a first cage is permitted to stop at first cage stop floors, and only a second cage is permitted to stop at second cage stop floors that are distinct from the first cage stop floors. A building fixture control portion has a first group control portion for associatively controlling an electrical fixture on the first cage stop floors and a second group control portion for associatively controlling an electrical fixture on the second cage stop floors.
Abstract:
A burden placed on an administrator in creating a volume is reduced. An evaluation hint value and a performance hint value are employed as hint values for each hint. The evaluation hint value is determined by the administrator considering a service usage and the like of the service server 1 to which the volume is allocated. The performance hint value is used to determine a performance and a setting of the volume to be created in the storage system 3. The management server 2 has a conversion table indicating a correspondence between the evaluation hint value defined considering the hardware configuration and the performance hint value, with respect to each storage system 3. The management server 2 converts the evaluation hint value designated by the administrator to a performance hint value, by use of the conversion table associated with the storage system to which the volume is to be created, and the management server creates the volume in the storage system 3 according to the performance value.
Abstract:
A main-presser driving apparatus for an automatic binding sewing machine including two sewing needles for carrying out a binding sewing operation and a pair of main pressers for pressing a base cloth on which a binding cloth is to be sewn, the main pressers being supported by a frame of the sewing machine such that the two pressers are opposed to each other and are movable independently of each other along a directional line in which the two pressers advance toward, and retract away from, each other, the driving apparatus including a pair of drive devices each of which includes an actuator for displacing a corresponding one of the main pressers in the above-indicated direction independently of the other of the main pressers, each actuator being controllable to be stopped at a desired operational position; a needle distance specifying device specifying a distance between the two sewing needles; a control command producing device producing, based on the specified needle distance, a control command for each of the two actuators of said pair of drive means; and a control device driving each of the two actuators according to the produced control command and thereby displacing a corresponding one of the two main pressers along said directional line to a position corresponding to the produced control command.
Abstract:
New extracts of Marsdenia cundurango Reichenbach fil., processes for preparing them, antitumor agents comprising them, compositions containing them and methods of treating tumor with them are described herein in which the extracts consist essentially of the portion of Marsdenia cundurango Reichenbach fil. which is soluble in lower alcohols and in chlorinated hydrocarbons other than carbon tetrachloride and is insoluble in aliphatic hydrocarbons.
Abstract:
An example according to one embodiment includes a first coil and a second coil spaced apart therefrom. The system is supplied with power from a primary-side circuit to a secondary-side circuit and vice versa. The primary-side circuit includes the first coil. The secondary-side circuit includes the second coil. The primary-side circuit connects to a first converter that converts direct current into alternating current and vice versa. The first converter connects to second converter that converts direct current into alternating current and vice versa, and the second converter further connects to a commercial power supply. The secondary-side circuit connects to third converter that converts direct current into alternating current and vice versa, and the third converter further connects to direct current power supply of a moving body. Bidirectional power transfer is performed only by a switching operation of the first converter, the second converter, and the third converter.
Abstract:
Provided is a contactless power transfer device for a moving object. Each of a power transmission coil and a power receiving coil comprises an H-shaped core, and first, second and third search coils are installed on a magnetic pole object of the H-shaped core of the power transmission coil. A y-direction positional deviation between the power transmission coil and the power receiving coil is detected using voltages measured at the first and second search coils, and an x-direction positional deviation is detected using voltages measured at the third search coils.
