A mobile work analysis device is used for work analysis based on a work moving image of a line work while recording the work moving image. The mobile work analysis device includes: a first boundary setting unit configured to receive input of a user operation and set a boundary for each work element on the work moving image; a boundary detector configured to detect recognition information associated with each work process, a boundary between a work of a first work process and a work of a second work process in the line work being recognized by the recognition information; and a second boundary setting unit configured to, when the recognition information associated with the second work process is detected, automatically set the boundary on the work moving image between the work of the first work process and the work of the second work process, based on the recognition information.

A muffler, connected to an engine through an exhaust pipe, includes a shell serving as a muffler body, an inlet pipe configured to introduce exhaust gas from the engine into the shell, an outlet pipe configured to discharge the exhaust gas out of the shell, and a cap configured to be attached to a narrowed portion of the inlet pipe and control the direction in which the exhaust gas flows out. The cap is provided with an opening through which the exhaust gas passes and which regulates the direction in which the exhaust gas flows out.

A data look-ahead control is provided to realize a high cache hit rate and improves responsiveness in an information processing system. In the data look-ahead control, when it is determined that the current input/output request is an access to a specific database that was the subject of a recent input/output request and whose I/O count exceeds a predetermined value, and it is also determined that a cache memory can be occupied to some extent and that there would be no impact on other input/output requests, data including one or more blocks (logical tracks) larger than a block that is the subject of the current I/O request are loaded to the cache memory.

Effects of prefetching on I/O requests in an information processing system

There is provided a data processing system which, from a point of view of increasing process efficiency of the entire data processing system to exhibit a maximum effect, may assign an alias device to a logic device. The data processing system of this invention comprises a host processing device () and a storage control device () connected thereto via a communication means (), where the storage control device () has a deciding means for deciding, at a time of processing an I/O request of a certain base device, whether there is a need to newly assign an alias device to the base device according to a use situation of a physical device (). When assignment is decided as necessary, the host processing device () is notified of such via the communication means, and the host processing device () newly assigns an alias device to the base device when there is the notification from the storage control device ().

A slot assign system has a central station and a plurality of peripheral stations, and the communication between them is made through an artificial satellite. The central station stores pre-assign slot information of each of the peripheral stations, and multiplexes slot assign information to be changed at a next frame over the pre-assign slot information. The peripheral station, on receipt of the slot assign information, transmits the next frame using a slot assigned to itself. The central station sends a vacant slot with no pre-assignment as a non-assign information signal, and the peripheral station recognizing the vacant slot transmits, using the slot assigned to itself, a reservation request for using the vacant slot. The central station transmits a frame next to the frame to which the slot has been assigned. Thus, the slot assign information is centrally controlled by the central station and can be changed without a need for cutting off the data link between the central station and the peripheral stations.

A battery accommodating structure for accommodating first and second batteries in such a way that they are fixed in its accommodating portions by two pressing plates different from each other. A moving member which allows the two different pressing plates to be detached is provided to move in response to the movement of a power switch of an appliance which uses the accommodating structure. When the moving member is located at a position where the power switch is turned on, it prevent both of the first and second batteries from being removed from the accommodating portions, but when it is located at another position where the power switch is turned off, it allows one of the first and second batteries to be removed from the corresponding accommodating portion.
