A lamp apparatus for a vehicle may include a hollow tub having a mirror surface, an upper cover mounted at a side of the tub and having a first surface perpendicular to an axial direction of the tub, wherein the first surface includes a semi-mirror surface which divides light into a transmitted light passing to the outside and a reflected light reflected to the inside, a lower cover mounted at the other side of the tub and having a second surface perpendicular to the axial direction of the tub, wherein the second surface includes a mirror surface formed on an inner side thereof, and a plurality of point light sources mounted on the mirror surface of the lower cover, wherein light emitted from the point light sources is multiple-reflected between the semi-mirror surface of the upper cover and the mirror surface of the lower cover.

Lamp for vehicle

A wide light region lamp apparatus for a vehicle wherein a light emitting region thereof may be increased by covering a point light source with a patterned cover may include a semispherical reflective surface on which a mirror surface may be processed, the point light source mounted to a center of the reflective surface, and a three-dimensional cover configured to cover the point light source.

Wide light region lamp for vehicle

A host computer includes a virtual disk control part for controlling an input/output request into a virtual disk. A plurality of storage subsystems includes a load monitoring part for measuring a load on a physical disk by the input/output request and storing load information in a disk management table. The virtual disk control part identifies, upon receiving the input/output request into a not-ever-outputted space in a virtual disk, an appropriate logical disk on the virtual disk based on the load information in the disk management table, sends the input/output request to the storage subsystem having the identified logical disk, and updates, upon receiving a completion acknowledgement of the input/output request, the load information in the disk management table based on the load information in the logical disk map information table.

Storage system, load distribution management method, and storage medium

A lamp fixture has a hollow shape, such as a pyramid or a cone. The fixture includes a light source mount at a vertex of the shape, configured for light from a light source to enter the shape therethrough; reflecting inner surfaces on sides of the shape; and a design element on or in at least one of the sides. The design element may be a slit, a hole, a transparent element, a color pattern, a three-dimensional object, a prominence, an uneven surface, or a combination thereof.

Lamp fixture

Data is updated while making sure that one logically meaningful data group is set as the unit of data update. A host computer requests a first disk controller a data input/output request to/from a logical volume of a first disk drive. When the request is an update request, requested update data is stored in the first logical volume, by a first control. The update request is sent to a second disk controller and is temporarily accumulated there, when information indicating a group to which the update data belongs is attached to the update request. When the first disk controller finishes executing every data input/output request that is designated by information indicating to which group the update data belongs, the accumulated update data for those belonging to the same group to which group update data belongs is retrieved and stored in a second logical volume.

Method and computer network for copying a volume of a storage subsystem with improved arrangement for handling update requests

An input/output method is provided which assures data consistency of a file spreading over a plurality of logically significant volumes or files distributed among a plurality of volumes. A storage subsystem at a main site handles as one group those input/output requests issued in a single process from a computer which call for data update on a plurality of logically significant volumes. The update request is executed on a plurality of volumes by group to implement the updating of volumes at a remote site en masse.

Data input/output method in information processing system, and information processing system

Disclosed herein is a system for controlling the process of performing a command in an HDD. The HDD comprises a register for holding the command control information supplied from a host system, a command register for holding a specific command. The HDD further comprises a CPU. The CPU fetches the command control information from the register when the specific command held in the command register is one for setting the command control information. The CPU controls the process of performing a command in accordance with the command control information, thereby to finish performing the command within a period between the time when the host system issued the command and the time when the host system issues the next command.

A spindle motor comprises a central axis fixed to a housing base. A core body is cantilevered by an annular member so as to support a coil of a stator. The coil is fixed to the housing base by an adhesion. The cantilevered core body is also supported by the housing base, so that the movement of the core body and coil is reliably restrained. The stator is prevented from vibrating during rotation of the rotor. Accordingly, reduction in the vibration of the spindle motor can be achieved.

A memory device includes a head arm assembly which is movable in the radial direction. A flat coil is provided at an end of the head arm assembly, with a yoke arranged to surround the flat coil. A magnet is arranged on the yoke to administer a magnetic force to the flat coil. A base has an external circumference wall to form a space to accommodate at least the magnet, a memory medium, the head arm assembly, and the yoke. The base further includes a height setting surface provided near the wall of the drive space to oppose the yoke. The yoke is arranged on the surface by engaging with the surface.

An actuator structure includes an arm portion carrying a predetermined number of heads for recording/reproducing information, provided on one side of a rotary shaft, and at least two coil support portions, each of which supports a coil member for moving the heads on recording media, provided on the other side of the rotary shaft relative to the arm portion. Each of the at least two coil support portions extends from either side of a line passing through the head and the rotary shaft, and the at least two coil support portions are formed asymmetrically relative to the line.
