摘要:
A controller sets a specified time which is a time that specifies a time in the future relative to the current time for all of one or more secondary storage systems. The respective secondary storage systems have a logical volume for backup (BVOL), and set a backup preparation end state when a journal up to a specified time has been established, and report information showing a preparation end state to the controller. The controller issues a backup command to all of the one or more secondary storage systems when information showing a preparation end state is reported from all of the one or more secondary storage systems.

A blade of a cleaning device includes two surfaces: an upstream side surface and a downstream side surface. The two surfaces adjoin each other with respect to a contact edge of the blade. The upstream side surface has a longer dimension in the direction orthogonal to the contact edge than that of the downstream side surface. A horizontal portion of a blade holder that restricts a warp in the blade is bonded on an opposed surface to the upstream side surface of the blade. The blade is held via the horizontal portion with a vertical portion of the blade holder supported by the main body of the cleaning device in a downstream of a normal line to a contact point on a photoconductor surface in contact with the contact edge, in the photoconductor-surface moving direction.

Overload of communication lines and the drop of through-put of task processing in a center computer is prevented. The center computer executes a plurality of task processing, writes the execution result to a center storage device and remote copies the same data to a plurality of remote storage devices. At this time, the center computer acquires loads of communication lines through load measurement portions and stops the execution of a part of the task processing involved with the transmission of the copy data through the communication line when its load exceeds a predetermined threshold value. When the center storage device and the remote storage devices switch the transmission route of the copy data to other route, the center computer starts again the execution of the task processing previously stopped and starts again the remote copy.

A cleaning device and process cartridge including the same for an image formation apparatus, which prevents cleaning failures due to toner slipping past a blade, based on an equation for the force of toner particle rotation and the restraining force. Toner on an image carrier is removed by a blade. The relation between the blade and the image carrier satisfies the equation f(θ)=μ2−μ1×(Ntp/Nbt+cosθ)>0. Here μ1 is the friction coefficient between toner and image carrier, μ2 is the friction coefficient between toner and blade, Ntp is the adhesive force between toner and image carrier, Nbt is the force received by the toner from the blade, and θ is the angle formed by the blade and image carrier (the cleaning angle).
摘要:
A cleaning device including an elastic blade whose tip is contacted with a surface of a rotating member in such a manner as to counter the rotated member to remove particles of a toner on the rotated member; and a holder configured to support the elastic blade, wherein a nip formed by longitudinal end portions of the tip of the blade and the surface of the rotated member has a first nip width in a rotation direction of the rotated member, and a nip formed by a central portion of the blade and the surface of the rotated member has a second nip width, and wherein the first nip width is less than the second nip width.

To set access limitation, which limits access to a remote volume, to each host computer separately without registering in advance information on which volume is accessible to which host computer. In the storage system, the storage system is coupled to other storage systems in multiple stages, the uppermost stage storage system is coupled to the host computer, the volume constitutes a remote copy pair with a volume in the lower stage storage system and/or a remote copy pair with a volume in the upper stage storage system, and upon receiving a command to operate the volume, a control unit refers to pair information stored in a memory to judge whether information of the lower stage volume paired with the volume in the storage system that has this control unit is added to the received command.
摘要:
A cleaning device cleans off a toner from a surface of a member rotating in a first direction. The cleaning device includes a blade made of an elastic material including a tip portion with a slanting portion that is pressed against the surface in a second direction counter to the first direction. A supporter supports the blade. An angle between the slanting portion and a longitudinal direction of the blade is obtuse. The slanting portion is pressed against the surface at a surface pressure of 2.0 MPa or more.

Two case members of the same shape are attached to the body of an expansion valve and a temperature sensing drive element through sound insulating members. Each of the two case members is formed having upper retaining and retainable portions at its upper part and lower retaining and retainable portions at its lower part. The upper retaining portion, upper retainable portion, lower retaining portion, and lower retainable portion of one of the case members are in engagement with the upper retainable portion, upper retaining portion, lower retainable portion, and lower retaining portion, respectively, of the other case member.
