Proposed is a storage apparatus and its control method capable of performing dynamic load balancing or performance acceleration as a whole by balancing the load to a logical volume. With this storage apparatus, the load status of the volume is measured based on the data volume and command throughput transferred between the higher-level device and the storage unit. In addition, the contents of the volume having a load exceeding the default value are copied to one or more backup volumes based on the measurement results of the load status of the volume, the volume of a copy source and the backup volume of a copy destination are associated with one virtual volume, and the virtual volume is provided to the higher-level device. Moreover, when a write request involving read processing for reading data from the virtual volume is given from the higher-level device, data is read from a default volume or the backup volume associated with the virtual volume and data from the higher-level device is written in all the volumes and backup volumes associated with the virtual volume, and, when a read request for reading data from the virtual volume is given, corresponding data is read from the volume or the backup volume other than the default volume or backup volume among the volume and the backup volume associated with the virtual volume.

Provided is a storage subsystem capable of improving the data processing speed by balancing the load on processors and controllers. This storage subsystem includes a controller for controlling the input and output of data to and from a storage apparatus that provides to a host computer a plurality of logical units to become a storage extent for the host computer to read and write data, processes a command issued by the host computer, and has a storage resource in relation to the logical unit. The controller has a local memory for storing the command, and a processor configured from a plurality of cores for controlling the input and output of data to and from the logical unit to be subject to the input and output of the data based on the command. The local memory stores association information representing the correspondence between the plurality of logical units and the plurality of cores. Each of the plurality of cores processes the command to the logical unit to be handled by a self core based on the association information and executes I/O processing of the data to the logical unit.

In order to efficiently process image data in a circuit dividing single image data into a plurality of data and processing the data with a plurality of MPUs in parallel with each other, the MPUs process image data input through an input image data in parallel with each other. An address bus inputs addresses of the image data, and address memories provided on the MPUs store the addresses of the image data processed by the MPUs respectively. When the image data are completely processed, the image data are output through an output image bus while the addresses of the image data are output through the address bus.

The present invention provides a photoreduction method for metal complex ions by which strict controllability is not required in the control of its exposure amount, and a size of the metallic structure to be produced can be controlled, besides there is no fear of reducing spatial resolution of the size of the metallic structure to be produced. The photoreduction method for metal complex ions wherein a laser beam is beam-irradiated on a metal complex ion dispersion element dispersed in a material to photoreduce the metal complex ions thereby fabricating a metallic structure, includes the steps of adding a predetermined coloring matter to the material in which the metal complex ion dispersion element is dispersed, and beam-irradiating the laser beam to the material to which the predetermined coloring matter has been added.

Under the step management of a stepping motor, a move distance of an antenna of a wireless tag scanning device is calculated, and wireless tags are scanned in synchronization with a step move amount. The antenna controls its directivity using shield members etc., and lowers electromagnetic susceptibility in the moving direction. Accordingly, it becomes possible to detect a wireless tag located on a certain position, enabling position management with high resolution.
