A fracture caused by fatigue of a connecting portion positioned at a corner of a reinforcing frame directly secured to a frame is avoided regardless of a relative displacement that occurs in the frame upon disposing the reinforcing frame made of steel, which has an elevational shape surrounding the frame along an inner circumferential surface of the frame and a cross-sectional shape with a flange on a side of the frame, in a structure plane of the frame of a column and a beam of reinforced concrete structure, and joining the reinforcing frame to the inner circumferential surface of the frame. A reinforcing frame is constituted of a column portion along a column of a frame, a beam portion along a beam, and a connecting portion that is joined to the column portion and the beam portion, and connects the column portion to the beam portion. The connecting portion has a flange with a part close to the column portion and the beam portion formed to be shaped along an inner circumferential surface of the frame, and a part of the flange facing a corner of the frame formed into a shape in which a void is formed between the part and the corner of the frame.

In between a shear wall of a reinforced concrete structure disposed in a column and beam frame of a reinforced concrete structure and the frame, transmission capability of a shear force between is enhanced from a stage which a relative deformation occurs among between the frame and the shear wall. Plate is disposed between an inner peripheral surface of a frame and an outer peripheral surface of a shear wall, integrated with any one of the frame and the shear wall, and continuous in a longitudinal direction and in a height direction of the shear wall and penetrate the plate in a thickness direction. The anchors are dispersedly in the longitudinal direction and in the height direction of the shear wall.

A method of fulfilling orders by making orders available in order units by picking from product units in a storage facility that includes a routed product order picking area, and an automated storage and retrieval racking area that is upstream from the routed products order picking area and connected thereto by a routing conveyor. The method includes reassigning order fulfillment of orders requiring products from product units requiring many exchanges between adjoining storage racks from a source storage rack to an adjacent storage rack via cross conveyance locations in the storage racks themselves to reach a destination storage rack, where the orders are reassigned to the routed products order picking area for parallel order fulfillment such that bottlenecks within the automated storage and retrieval racking area can be prevented or at least decreased.

The energy recovery system includes an inertial fluid container, a low pressure container, a high pressure container, a low pressure valve, and a high pressure valve, a valve flow conduit, and a valve controller. The valve controller switches, in response to a decrease in volume of the fluid chamber, the inertial fluid container between communicating with the low pressure container and the high pressure container, thereby generating inertial forces of the working fluid flowing toward the low pressure container in the inertial fluid container, and causing the working fluid to flow into the high pressure container by the inertial forces. The valve controller sets a switching frequency for the valves to a frequency close to an Nth-order (where N is a natural number) anti-resonance frequency of a flow conduit for the working fluid.

A power domain is automatically generated. A computer performs a function simulation processfor evaluating whether or not a designed circuit satisfies a specification, and a clustering processwhich obtains a power domain by clustering logical blocks in which activation timings are within a range, based on the result of the function simulation process. Since the power domain is obtained by a process performed by the computer, the power domain can be optimized compared to a case when it is obtained by hand (manual work of the designer).

A redundancy detection unit refers to layout data stored in a data storage unit and reflecting completed automatic placement and routing to detect a redundant region in a region having a cell arranged therein. An automatic insertion unit inserts in the detected redundant region a capacitive cell having a capacitive component and free of logic.
