Based on information that is transmitted to a UPS communication part by UPSs connected to an information processing apparatus, a UPS monitoring part monitors the states of the UPSs. A UPS control part employs the monitoring results to generate control information for controlling the state of at least one of the UPSs, and permits the UPS communication part to transmit the control information to the UPS that is to be controlled. The present invention can be applied for a computer having a redundant power supply function.

Information processing apparatus and method, and computer-readable medium

An apparatus for determining life of a battery which supplies charged electricity to an electrical appliance is equipped with a storage part for storing relationship between standard total values of discharge voltage drop amounts since a start of discharge of the battery and standard life values, a discharge voltage drop amount totalizer part for totalizing the discharge voltage drop amounts since the start of discharge with the battery being discharged, and a life determination part for determining the life of the battery from a measured total value of totalized discharge voltage drop amounts and the standard total values of the storage means.

The present system comprises a device which issues tickets, a central processing device and an entrance gate device which controls entry to the site. The central processing device establishes appropriate data representing the maximum carrying capacity of each attraction (i.e., the maximum number of reservations which can be given out). It does so by performing a fuzzy inference based on fuzzy rules using as fuzzy variables various uncertainty factors which influence cancellations and other events that transpire after a reservation is made, such as type of attraction, weather, time of day, day of the week and season.
