The present invention is concerned with an automatic recognition of image data representative of crack derived from measurements of the road surface using a computor (4). An image memory in which data on the road surface are stored is divided into a plurality of regions and the region constituting a part of the divided regions for which a determination has been made such that crack (LP) is existent is utilized as a start point for a pursuing operation. A series of processings of pursuit and extraction such as extracting line segments (SG) corresponding to the crack (LP) from the start point region, making a determination on the direction of pursuing to be next effected on the basis of the line direction (.theta.) of the extracted line segments (SG), making a determination as to whether or not crack (LP) is existent in the adjacent divided regions situated in the direction of pursuing and performing a processing of extracting line segments (SG) only in the region for which a determination has been made such that crack (LP) is existent are repeatedly exeuted at every start point until pursuing is terminated. This permits data representative of the crack in the image memory to be extracted in the form of a combination among the line segments (SG). Thus, extraction of line segments is not required in all the divided regions. Consequently, a processing speed can be increased.

(R)-2-(2-aminothiazol-4-yl)-4′-[2-[(2-hydroxy-2-phenylethyl)amino]ethyl]acetic acid anilide or its salt shows a potent bladder relaxation effect in “isolated rat bladder smooth muscle relaxation test”, dose-dependently lowers the contraction frequency of rhythmic bladder contractions in “rat rhythmic bladder contraction measurement test” and, moreover, prolongs the urination intervals in “urination functions measurement test on cyclophosphamide-induced overactive bladder model rat”. Owing to these effects, the above compound is useful as a remedy for overactive bladder.

A fusion welding device include: a first holder, having a first face, and adapted to hold at least an outer peripheral face of an end portion of a first work in a state where the first work is movable in a longitudinal direction thereof; a second holder, having a second face opposed to the first face, and adapted to hold at least an outer peripheral face of an end portion of a second work in a state where the second work is movable in a longitudinal direction thereof; a heater, operable to heat the first and second works; a first and second movers, adapted to move the first and second holders in such directions that the first and second faces come close to or apart from each other; and a third mover, adapted to move the first and second holders in synchronization with each other in a direction along the first and second faces. The first and second holders are moved by the third mover in a state where the first and second faces are in contact with each other, whereby end faces of the end portions of the first and second works are pressed to each other in the longitudinal directions thereof in the first and second holders.

An initialization data generator includes a task database in which task descriptions for initializing a computer are specified related with task IDs and an initialization database in which initialization data descriptions for initializing a computer are stored related with initialization data IDs. The initialization data generator takes input of the computer ID of a computer to be initialized and task data, reads task descriptions and initialization data descriptions according to task ordering related with the task data from the task database and the initialization database, based on the task IDs, task ordering, and the initialization data IDs for software modules which are loaded into the computer to be initialized by the tasks corresponding to the task IDs, specified in the task data, and generates and transfers initialization data to the computer to be initialized, thereby initializing the computer to be initialized.

A computer development apparatus includes hardware-parts where design data on hardware parts are caused to correspond to each other for each of information for identifying the hardware parts, software-parts where design data on software parts are caused to correspond to each other for each of information for identifying the software parts, relation for registering data for identifying a hardware part and a software part for each function of computer, the hardware part and the software part being necessary for implementing each function, constraint condition for specifying functions of a development-target computer, and extraction unit for identifying hardware part and software part by using the constraint condition and the relation, the hardware and software parts being necessary for implementing the functions included in the constraint condition, extracting, out of the hardware-parts and the software-parts, design data corresponding to the identified hardware part and software part, and outputting the extracted design data.
摘要:
In a computer system in which a plurality of computers is connected through a network, each computer is allowed to utilize a function of another computer. There are provided policy information and autonomous configuration client for a client computer and server information and autonomous configuration server for a server computer. The policy information has information about a necessary function, a communication system corresponding to the function and application software. The client computer acquires the necessary function from the policy information and retrieves a server computer on the network. The server computer responds to the function that can be provided. The autonomous configuration client exchanges setting information with the autonomous configuration server and autonomously sets the communication system and the application software. The client computer utilizes the necessary function.

摘要:
To provide novel crystals useful as an ingredient for the production of a diabetes remedy. The invention is concerned with α-form crystal and β-form crystal of (R)-2-(2-aminothiazol-4-yl)-4′-[2-[(2-hydroxy-2-phenyleth-yl)amino]ethyl]acetanilide. The α-form crystal does not exhibit hygroscopicity and has stability such that it can be used as a medicine, and is useful for mass synthesis in the industrial production. The β-form crystal does not relatively exhibit hygroscopicity and is also useful as a production intermediate of the α-form crystal.
