A holding mechanism includes a suction section and a sealing section. The suction section includes a suction area where a substrate is subjected to vacuum suction. The sealing section includes an elastic section having a plurality of sides arranged to surround the suction area and a plurality of corners each formed between adjacent ones of the plurality of sides, and a repulsive-force-suppressing section provided in at least one of the plurality of corners.

Holding mechanism and exposure apparatus

When a transfer target file is updated during multiple part upload of the transfer target file to an external storage system, a file storage system stops the multiple part upload of the transfer target file, and performs multiple part upload of the updated file to the external storage system.

File storage system and file transfer method

A computer system is coupled to a local storage system and a remote storage system, and comprises a data mover, and a recall size analysis unit. The recall size analysis unit uses a combination of type of the data and size of the data as a retrieval key of an access characteristics to analyze the logs of the same access characteristics and to determine a recall size for each of the access characteristics. The data mover obtains a target data corresponding to the recall size of the access characteristics of the target data from the remote storage system in a case of receiving a read request for the target data that is not stored in the local storage system.

Computer system and data access control method

There is provided an automated analyzer which can eliminate static charge on receptacles storing analytes or reagents to thereby offer improved accuracy of analysis. The automated analyzer comprises: a receptacle carrier mechanism operative to hold a plurality of receptacles storing liquid and to carry the held receptacles in a given direction; a reader device for reading identification information of the receptacles carried by the receptacle carrier mechanism; a static eliminator for eliminating static charge on the receptacles carried by the receptacle carrier mechanism; and an input/output controller for causing the static eliminator to carry out the elimination of the static charge in synchronism with successive reading by the reader device of the identification information of the receptacles carried by the receptacle carrier mechanism.

Apparatus and method for automated analysis

In order to enable to estimate whether the bit error occurs steadily or instantaneously, an error monitoring method according to an exemplary aspect of the invention includes: detecting number of error bits of received data per bits whose number is predetermined, comparing the number of error bits with a threshold value which is predetermined, and counting and outputting number of times of continuous occurrence of the comparison result's indicating being large, and number of times of continuous occurrence of the comparison result's indicating being small.

Error monitoring apparatus, method, and recording medium

A cellular phone apparatus includes a screen A and a screen B. In a state where an overview of data for a screen with a large amount of information is guide displayed on the screen B (screen for user selection), every time an arbitrary content is selected, the cellular phone apparatus changes the data for the screen with the large amount of information to data for a screen with a small amount of information while arranging and displaying the selected content obtained via a Web server on the screen A. Accordingly, when data for the screen with the large amount of information is changed to data for the screen with the small amount of information in response to an instruction on a user side, a change that reflects the intentions of the user can be easily achieved.

Mobile terminal with dual displays for displaying differing amounts of information

For realizing an optimum failover in NAS, this invention provides a computer system including: a first computer; a second computer; a third computer; and a storage device coupled to the plurality of computers via a network, in which: the first computer executes, upon reception of an access request to the storage device from a client computer coupled to the plurality of computers, the requested access; and transmits to the client computer a response to the access request; the second computer judges whether a failure has occurred in the first computer; obtains load information of the second computer; obtains load information of the third computer from the third computer; and transmits a change request to the third computer when the obtained load information satisfies a predetermined condition; and the third computer judges whether a failure has occurred in the first computer when the change request is received from the second computer.

Autonomous takeover destination changing method in a failover

Provided is a computer system which includes plurality of computers including a first, second, and third computers, and a storage device coupled to the plurality of computers via a network, in which: the first computer is configured to: access data in a storage area of the storage device; cut, based on settings information and loads on the plurality of computers, at least a part of electric power supplied to the first computer; and send, before cutting the at least a part of electric power supplied to the first computer, a takeover request to the second computer; and the second computer accesses the data within the storage area after receiving the takeover request. With the configuration as described above, power consumption in NAS is reduced.

Power saving method in NAS and computer system using the method

The present invention relates to an ophthalmologic phototaking apparatus having an illuminating system for illuminating an eye to be examined, a phototaking system for phototaking the image of the eye to be examined illuminated by the illuminating system, a digital signal converting system for converting the image of the eye to be examined phototaken by the phototaking system into a first data format of digital image data, and a data format converting system for converting the first data format of digital image data into a second data format of digital image data.

Ophthalmologic phototaking apparatus

An apparatus for phototaking the image of an eye to be examined has an image pickup element for picking up the image of the eye to be examined, a first signal converting system for converting an image signal from the image pickup element into a signal for animated picture display, a second signal converting system for converting the image signal from the image pickup element into a digital image signal, and an image pickup element drive system for executing the drive systems of the image pickup element corresponding to the first and second signal converting systems.
