A hierarchical storage management system including primary storage and secondary storage includes a determinator and a relocator. The determinator makes a determination, on the basis of the size of a file saved in the primary storage and an access interval time, whether or not moving the file from the primary storage to the secondary storage can reduce consumed energy. The relocator moves the file from the primary storage to the secondary storage in accordance with the determination.

Hierarchical storage management system

A storage case for storing a hinge-lidded box-type package, the hinge-lidded box-type package including a package body that has an open end at an upper part, and is capable of housing an object to be housed therein, and a lid part that is rotatably coupled to an edge of the open end through a hinge, and opens and closes the open end, the storage case having: a bottom surface wall; a rectangular tube wall body that is erected from the bottom surface wall, and forms therein a storage part that stores the package; and an insertion opening that is famed at an upper edge of the rectangular tube wall body, and enables the package to be inserted, wherein a slip-out regulating part that regulates slip-out of the package from the storage part is attached to the insertion opening.

Package

An accessor includes a main body unit configured to convey a recording medium in a first direction, the main body unit being attached to a housing of a library device to be movable in the first direction, a picker configured to convey the recording medium in a second direction intersecting with the first direction, the picker being mounted on the main body unit to be movable in the second direction, and a cleaner mounted on a surface of the picker along the second direction.

Accessor and library device

A packaging container with an opening and closing lid, an opening is cut in an edge of the lid-raising member of a rear-side plate on a side of a lid-raising member of the inner case. A stopper is formed on part of the incision opening. An upper end edge of the stopper is an incision edge of the opening arranged at the lowest position of descent of an outer-case locking member and lower than a height position of inner-case locking member. The stopper approaches the outer-case locking member as the inner case moves upward. The outer-case locking member has at least a part of a stopper-corresponding portion in contact against the incision edge being the stopper, so that the outer-case locking member, which moves downward relative to the upward movement of the inner case, is in contact against the part that is the lowest position of descent thereof.

Packaging container with opening and closing lid

A case includes a case wall, a locking member and a moving member. The case wall has an opening so as to connect inside and outside of the case. The locking member can move to a locking position set inside the case and to an unlocking position different from the locking position. The moving member can move the locking member from the unlocking position to the locking position when a housed object housed in the case goes outside of the case through the opening.

The deep cell () of the present invention is capable of accommodating two data cartridges () in a row. In addition, the deep cell () includes a regulating member () for regulating the storage of two data cartridges () and for regulating storage to just one data cartridge ().

Storage cell and magazine

A stop position adjusting device for an accessor mechanism in an information recording device using a recording cartridge, includes: the accessor mechanism; a first moving mechanism; a second moving mechanism; and an image taking section. The accessor mechanism inserts the recording cartridge into a cell and takes out the recording cartridge from the cell. The first moving mechanism moves the accessor mechanism in a first direction. The second moving mechanism moves the accessor mechanism in a second direction different from the first direction. The image taking section is provided on the accessor mechanism and detects a position of a mark provided near the cell. An adjustment of a stop position of the accessor mechanism for the cell is executed based on the position detected by the image taking section.
