An ICT resource management device which manages a physical node and a virtual node, each as an ICT resource, includes: a configuration information management part configured to manage physical layer configuration information of the physical node on a physical layer and virtual layer configuration information of the virtual node on a virtual layer; a layer mapping part configured to perform mapping of the physical layer and the virtual layer; a blueprint creation part configured to, when an externally-provided device requests a change in the configuration, create a blueprint which is design information on an infrastructure required for the configuration change, based on the physical layer configuration information, the virtual layer configuration information, and mapping information obtained as a result of the mapping; and an orchestrator part configured to access and run a program operative via an API, based on the blueprint, to thereby perform orchestration of the virtual layer.

ICT resource management device, ICT resource management method, and ICT resource management program

The ICT resource management device includes: a configuration information management part that manages configuration information of physical nodes and virtual nodes; a layer mapping part that performs mapping between the physical layer and the virtual layer; a location specifying part that specifies a location of a physical node; a device connect destination determination part that determines a physical node to which to connect the device in response to a request for configuration change based on at least one of the specified location, information relating to a service, a network connection configuration of the network connecting the device to the physical node, and quality of the network; a blueprint creation part that creates a blueprint based on the configuration information, the mapping information, and the connection destination; and an orchestrator part that performs orchestration.

Device, method, and program for ICT resource management using service management information

An ICT resource management device that manages a physical node and a virtual node as ICT resources includes: a configuration information management part configured to manage configuration information; a cloud infrastructure selection part configured to select a cloud infrastructure in response to a request for a configuration change concerning a connection of a device that uses a cloud service to a physical node; a layer mapping part configured to perform a mapping between the physical layer and the virtual layer; a blueprint creation part configured to create, in response to the request for a configuration change, a blueprint based on the configuration information, the selected cloud infrastructure, and mapping information, wherein the blueprint is design information of an infrastructure that is required for the configuration change; and an orchestrator part configured to perform orchestration based on the blueprint.

An electric transmission mechanism according to one aspect of the present invention may include a tubular ring fixed to a shaft electively connected to an electrode, at least one brush slidably contacting with a circumferential surface of the ring, a bearing including an inner race fixed to the ring, and a housing which is fixed to an outer race of the bearing and accommodates a contact part of the ring and the brush therein.

Electric transmission mechanism and ion meter

A turbidity measurement method includes irradiating a first irradiation light Lhaving a first spectrum E, detecting a first measured light MLbased on the first irradiation light L, irradiating a second irradiation light Lhaving a second spectrum Edifferent from the first spectrum E, detecting a second measured light MLbased on the second irradiation light L, calculating turbidity of a liquid to be measured, and correcting at least one of a first parameter related to turbidity calculation associated with the first irradiation light Land a second parameter related to turbidity calculation associated with the second irradiation light Lso that the calculated turbidity of the liquid to be measured corresponds to the turbidity of the liquid to be measured as measured using another light source serving as a standard of comparison.
