| 20090231750 | DISK ARRAY UNIT - A disk array unit connected to a host unit to give information thereto and receive information therefrom. The disk unit includes a plurality of disk units for storing information transmitted from the host unit and a management information recording device, formed by utilizing information storage areas in the disk units, for causing information relating to a logical unit for storing information from the host unit to correspond to information relating to the units. The invention further includes a control unit, when there is no access from the host unit to the logical unit for a predetermined time, for determining the disk units corresponding to the logical unit based on information recorded in the management information recording device and performing power saving of power supply for the disk units. | 09-17-2009 |
| 20100235553 | STORAGE SYSTEM COMPRISING POWER SAVING FUNCTION - A storage system constituted such that power saving to an administrator-desired storage device can be performed from a management device. That is, the storage system comprises a power-saving indication receiving section for receiving from a management console a power-saving indication specifying at least one storage device of a plurality of RAID groups, a plurality of logical units, and a plurality of physical storage devices; and a power-saving controller for saving on power to one or more physical storage devices corresponding to the storage device specified in this power-saving indication. | 09-16-2010 |
| 20110072228 | STORAGE CONTROLLER AND CONTROL METHOD FOR THE SAME - An object of the invention is to provide a storage controller and control method that can efficiently and easily prevent reduced data I/O processing performance due to an imbalance between loads on controllers. In the storage controller and control method for providing, to a host computer, logical volumes created in a storage area provided by a storage device and controlling data I/O to/from the logical volumes, the state of loads on the control units for controlling data I/O to/from the logical volumes is monitored, and a control unit allocated to a logical volume is changed to another control unit to equalize loads on the control units. | 03-24-2011 |

| 20090092223 | X-RAY IMAGING APPARATUS - An X-ray imaging apparatus includes an X-ray imaging unit, rotating unit configured to rotate a subject about an axis of rotation relative to the X-ray imaging unit, supporting unit configured to support the subject, and a limiting unit configured to limit the range in which the X-ray imaging unit is moveable along the axis of rotation depending on the position of the supporting means relative to the axis of rotation. | 04-09-2009 |
| 20100054422 | X-RAY IMAGING APPARATUS - An X-ray imaging apparatus includes an X-ray tube, an X-ray generation control unit configured to control the X-ray tube with a controller and a power supply, and a holding unit configured to hold the X-ray tube. The holding unit includes two support legs to be spread at an arbitrary angle, and a connecting portion configured to turnably connect upper ends of the support legs. The holding unit holds the X-ray tube near the connecting portion. | 03-04-2010 |
| 20110049371 | RADIATION IMAGING APPARATUS - A radiation imaging apparatus comprises a housing having an upper panel on the incident side of radiation, a bottom panel opposite to the upper panel, a side panel connecting the upper panel with the bottom panel. The housing accommodates a radiation detection panel, a light source and a chassis providing rigidity to the housing. The chassis has a transmissible part which transmit the calibration light from the light source, the radiation detection panel is fixed on the side of the upper panel, and the light source is fixed on the side of the bottom part of the chassis. Further, a detachable lid is formed in at least a part of the bottom panel, and the opening portion is formed so as to expose the light source. | 03-03-2011 |
