20130198471 | METHOD OF MANAGING STORAGE AND STORAGE MANAGEMENT DEVICE - A method of managing storage implemented in a storage management device that manages storage to which access for information is made by a requesting processing apparatus, including randomly obtaining a prescribed number of data units from among data units that constitute the information from the storage, calculating a sample unit duplication ratio, which is a ratio at which the obtained data units duplicate each other, estimating an overall data unit duplication ratio, which is a ratio at which all data units stored in the storage duplicate each other, by using a prescribed function that utilizes the calculated sample unit duplication ratio, and outputting the estimated overall data unit duplication ratio to an output device. | 08-01-2013 |
20130198667 | METHOD FOR CHANGING STRING ARRANGEMENT, RECORDING MEDIUM FOR STRING ARRANGEMENT CHANGING PROGRAM, AND INFORMATION PROCESSOR - A method for changing, by using a computer, an arrangement of strings that are arranged along an inner periphery of a graphic and partially overlap one another is offered. The computer arranges the strings in a radial pattern from a reference point determined within the graphic, determines whether overlapping strings are present, and moves the reference point in a direction to separate from the overlapping strings when the computer determines that the overlapping strings are present. | 08-01-2013 |
20130200701 | POWER DISTRIBUTION DEVICE, POWER DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR SUPPRESSING INRUSH CURRENT - A power distribution device includes power distribution ports that are connected to electric devices, respectively, and distribute a power supply signal to the electric devices, an inrush current suppressing circuit that collectively suppresses an inrush current on an upstream side ahead of the electric devices, a controller that detects an occurrence of the inrush current and outputs a switching instruction, and a switch that switches, based on the switching instruction, a path for the power supply signal to a first power supply path that causes the power supply signal to be input to the inrush current suppressing circuit when the inrush current has occurred, and that switches, on based on the switching instruction, the path for the power supply signal to a second power supply path that causes the power supply signal to bypass the inrush current suppressing circuit when the inrush current has not occurred. | 08-08-2013 |
