Abstract:
Methods and apparatus for cell processors are disclosed. A policy module is loaded from a main memory of a cell processor into the local memory of a selected synergistic processing unit (SPU) under control of an SPU policy module manager (SPMM) running on the SPU. A selected one or more work queues are assigned from a main memory to a selected one or more of the SPUs according to a hierarchy of precedence. A policy module for the selected one or more work queues is loaded to the selected one or more SPUs. The policy module interprets the selected one or more of the selected one or more work queues. Under control of the policy module, work from one or more of the selected one or more work queues is loaded into the local memory of the selected SPU. The work is performed with the selected SPU. After completing the work or upon a pre-emption, control of the selected SPU is returned to the SPMM.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a photomultiplier having a structure for making it possible to easily realize high detection accuracy and fine processing, and a method of manufacturing the same. The photomultiplier comprises an enclosure having an inside kept in a vacuum state, whereas a photocathode emitting electrons in response to incident light, an electron multiplier section multiplying in a cascading manner the electron emitted from the photocathode, and an anode for taking out a secondary electron generated in the electron multiplier section are arranged in the enclosure. A part of the enclosure is constructed by a glass substrate having a flat part, whereas each of the electron multiplier section and anode is two-dimensionally arranged on the flat part in the glass substrate.
Abstract:
Provides a diagnostic apparatus for diagnosing a measured object based on time-series data of a plurality of parameters measured from the measured object. An example of an apparatus includes a change-point score calculating portion for calculating a time-series change-point score with which each of the plurality of parameters changes according to passage of time based on the time-series data on the parameter, a change-point correlation calculating portion for calculating a change-point correlation indicating strength by which each of the plurality of parameters is associated with each of other parameters based on the change-point scores of the parameter and the other parameter, and a parameter outputting portion for outputting a set of parameters of which calculated degrees of associations are higher than a predetermined reference change-point correlation as a set of mutually strongly associated parameters.
Abstract:
A compound represented by the following general formula (1), a salt thereof, or an ester thereof: wherein m represents an integer of 0 to 4, n represents an integer of 5 to 9, and R represents hydrogen atom or a protective group of hydroxyl group, which has reducing actions of blood glucose, plasma insulin, and triglyceride, and is useful for preventive and/or therapeutic treatment of diabetes, complications of diabetes, hyperlipemia and others.
Abstract:
A multiprocessor system and method wherein one of the processors is assigned the responsibility of handling interrupts and identifying the next processor to handle an interrupt. When that processor switches tasks and determines that it is no longer the least important processor as far as task priority is concerned, it will then select and transfer its interrupt-related responsibilities (i.e., handling the interrupt and determining the next interrupt-handing processor) to the processor which is executing the least important task. The selected processor will then be designated for handling interrupts unless and until it undergoes a task switch and selects a different processor.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a medicine for preventing or treating a diabetes, which includes 2,2-dichloro-12-(4-chlorophenyl)-dodecanoic acid or a pharmacologically acceptable salt thereof, and pioglitazone hydrochloride as active ingredients. The present invention provides a method for preventing or treating a diabetes, which includes administering 2,2-dichloro-12-(4-chlorophenyl)-dodecanoic acid or a pharmacologically acceptable salt thereof, and pioglitazone hydrochloride to a patient suffering from or having a possibility of suffering from diabetes.
Abstract:
A sputter target material which is of a sintered material, wherein the sputter target material consists of 0.5 to 50 atomic % in total of at least one metal element (M) selected from the group of Ti, Zr, V, Nb and Cr, and the balance of Mo and unavoidable impurities, and has a microstructure seen at a perpendicular cross section to a sputtering surface, in which microstructure oxide particles exist near a boundary of each island of the metal element (M), and wherein the maximum area of the island, which is defined by connecting the oxide particles with linear lines so as to form a closed zone, is not more than 1.0 mm2.
Abstract:
When producing men's/women's jackets of every kind of length to order of a customer, front buttons and waist pockets are set and attached in well-balanced positions, while maintaining a position of a waist shape for the jacket, by defining an upper part of a back length line as a center back waist length and its lower part as a hip length (below waist) respectively and reflecting a value of the center back waist length in pattern design, setting a top one of the front buttons in a position a prescribed length above the back length line according to the center back waist length or a prescribed length below the back length line according to the hip length, and setting a bottom one of the front buttons and waist pockets in positions a prescribed length below the back length line according to the hip length. In the women's jacket, the center back waist length ranges from 34-45 cm and the hip length ranges from 15-38 cm, the top button is set and attached in a position 1.5-14.0 cm above the back length line, or parallel to or 3.0 cm above the waist pockets which are positioned below the back length line, the bottom button is set and attached in a position 7-10.5 cm below the back length line according to the hip length, and the waist pockets are set and attached in positions 4.5-6.5 cm below the back length line according to the hip length. In addition, the women's jacket is produced with front buttons and waist pockets being attached in well-balanced positions as described above in accordance with an easy-order-making production system.
Abstract:
In a non-contact electric power feed system, electric power is supplied in a non-contact manner from an electric power transmission device to a vehicle representing an electric power reception device. The electric power transmission device includes an electric power transmission unit, a communication unit for radio communication with the electric power reception device, and a control device for controlling the electric power transmission unit. The control device varies transmitted electric power from the electric power transmission unit while the electric power transmission unit transmits electric power, and determines whether or not pairing between the vehicle specified as an electric power transmission target and the electric power transmission unit is appropriate, based on information on variation in electric power from the vehicle specified as the electric power transmission target through radio communication.
