Abstract:
A distributed processing device includes a searching unit that searches, in accordance with attribute names identifying a plurality of records stored on a database, a process group for a second process having as a process target a record of an attribute name different from an attribute name included in a process request of a first process selected from among the process group to the database, a determining unit that determines the first process and the second process as execution targets to be executed by a plurality of nodes when the second process is hit by the searching unit, and an allocation unit that allocates the execution target determined by the determining unit to the plurality of nodes that execute the processes in parallel to the database.
Abstract:
A casing of a fuel cell stack has stack deformation prevention structure for limiting the change of an interval between end plates on the lower side in a direction of gravity, due to swelling of the lower side of the stack body in the direction of gravity. The stack deformation prevention structure is configured such that elastic modulus of a side plate provided on a lower side of the stack body in the direction of gravity is higher than elastic modulus of a side plate provided on an upper side of the stack body in the direction of gravity.
Abstract:
A fuel cell stack includes a stack body formed by stacking a plurality of unit cells, and a casing including end plates. Components of the stack body are held together in the casing. Side plates and angle members of the casing form an outer profile line, and the end plates are positioned inside the outer profile line. Corners of insulating plates protrude outwardly beyond corners of the end plates, and are positioned inside the inner wall surfaces of the corners of the casing.
Abstract:
A fuel cell stack includes a box-shaped casing and a stack body in the box-shaped casing. The stack body is formed by stacking a plurality of unit cells. The casing includes end plates, a plurality of side plates, angle members, and coupling pins. The angle members couple adjacent ends of the side plates. The coupling pins couple the end plates and the side plates.
Abstract:
According to one embodiment, an lighting apparatus includes a base member, a light source configured to emit visible light, and a translucent cover including a translucent region which covers at least a front surface of the light source and emits the light emitted from the light source to the outside. The light source is provided on a front surface flat section of the base member, a luminous intensity of the light emitted from the light source has a directionality which is strong in a normal direction of the front surface flat section and becomes zero on a rear surface side. The translucent cover includes a domed shape having a maximum diameter at a position higher than a height of the position where the light source is arranged, and a transmittance of a region opposing the light source is 60% or less.
Abstract:
According to one embodiment, a planar lighting device includes a plurality of light sources, a light guide layer provided on a light-emission side of the light sources and configured to guide light from the light sources, and a reflective layer provided on an opposite side of the light guide layer to the light sources and through which a part of the light is transmitted. The light guide layer includes light-scattering properties for scattering light and is formed so that optical transmittance T based on the light-scattering properties is 40%≦T≦93%.
Abstract:

The method also includes the service provider deriving a component library from a mounted component database.
Abstract:
A fuel cell device comprising a fuel cell cartridge having a container for containing methanol mixed solution fuel and a direct methanol fuel cell on which the fuel cartridge is set the fuel cartridge being provided with a fuel injection nozzle on part of the container and a projection disposed around the fuel injection nozzle; the size of which is determined according to the concentration of methanol of the fuel in the container, and the direct methanol fuel cell being provided with a concavity, which is designed to engage with the projection of the fuel cartridge at a portion where the fuel cartridge is to be set when the concentration of methanol is proper.
Abstract:
The reflection portion of the reflection member is moved along the inner surface in the hole of the pipe from the entrance opening of the hole of the pipe to the exit opening of the hole thereof. In this case, the reflection portion is guided by the guide portion provided at both sides of the reflection portion. The shots, which are projected toward the inner surface in the hole of the pipe reach the reflection portion through the holes of the guide portion of the entrance side, and they are reflected toward the inner surface in the hole of the pipe. Since the shots can be reflected toward the inner surface inside in the hole of the pipe, the tendency that shots may be moved toward the inner surface outside in the hole of the curved portion can be small.
Abstract:
A first variable resistor (5) is connected between a first terminal (7) and a third terminal (9) and increases/reduces its resistance value in accordance with the polarity of a pulse voltage applied between the first terminal (7) and the third terminal (9). A second variable resistor (6) is connected between the third terminal (9) and a second terminal (8) and increases/reduces its resistance value in accordance with the polarity of a pulse voltage applied between the third terminal (9) and the second terminal (8). Given pulse voltages are applied between the first terminal (7) and the third terminal (9) and between the third terminal (9) and the second terminal (8) to reversibly change the resistance values of the first and second variable resistors (5, 6), thereby recording one bit or multiple bits of information.
