Abstract:
A power-supply control apparatus uses a margin setting unit to set the value of a margin that is added to a request voltage value VID1 of an electronic device, which dynamically changes the operation voltage. A margin adding unit calculates a control voltage value VID2 by adding the margin to the request voltage value VID1 and outputs the control voltage value VID2 to a power-supply apparatus. Therefore, the power-supply apparatus can supply a margin-included voltage value that is changed in accordance with a change in the operation voltage of the electronic device. Accordingly, it is possible to check the electronic device, which dynamically changes its operation voltage, by using a margin that is properly set.

The unit solar cell 100 is of a strip-like shape with a length of its shorter edges of 7 to 12 mm and arranged in a longer-edge direction of the panel 12 so that its longer edges extend in a shorter-edge direction of the panel 12 and its shorter edges extend in the longer-edge direction of the panel 12.
Abstract:
A clock supply method for supplying a clock to a plurality of processing units includes supplying a clock from a first clock supply unit to processing units forming a first group as a primary clock and to processing units forming a second group as a standby clock; supplying a clock from a second clock supply unit including a clock source different from that of the first clock supply unit to the processing units forming the second group as a primary clock and to the processing units forming the first group as a standby clock; and when a processing unit in the first or second group detects an abnormality of the primary clock, switching the standby clock into use in place of the primary clock being supplied to the processing units that has detected the abnormality belongs; wherein the first and second clock supply units supply clocks with the same frequency.
Abstract:
An information processing device includes a replacement function of a system unit in a partition and a TPM (trusted platform module) function in the system unit. The system unit sets the TPM to valid or invalid and a management unit sets a reserved system board in the partition. The TPM setting information of the system unit and the reserved setting information of the system unit by the management unit are notified each other and are exclusive controlled. It is effectively possible to execute a reserved SB function, which integrates the reserved system board and re-starts without manual operation even though using a system unit which mounts the trusted platform module.

Abstract:
The DMA data transfer apparatus includes a memory, a communication controller, a DMA controller having a plurality of DMA engines each of which transfers data by DMA to the communication controller from the memory, and a DMA control unit. The DMA control unit determines a division size of transfer data such that the DMA engine can transfer the data, issues a data transfer directive by the DMA to the DMA controller, and controls data transfer by the DMA. The DMA control unit transmits the determination information for determination of the termination of data transfer to the communication controller. The communication controller determines the termination of data transfer based on the determination information transmitted from the DMA control unit.
Abstract:
It is an object to develop a roof structure having a high capacity for water interception, being safe from leaking of rain, and ensuring a certain level of mounting strength even in breaking of one piece of roof members. Solar cell modules (10) are mounted on a fundamental roof structure (3) with slate tiles (roof member) (2) via eaves-side mounting brackets (eaves-side clamps) (5) and intermediate mounting brackets (clamps) (6). The intermediate mounting brackets (6) each are attached to an end portion of a specific roof member so that a lower plate (72) is positioned between the specific roof member and an underlying roof member. The lower plate (72) is fixed by a screw or the like driven in a hole (100). The specific roof member is arranged over the underlying roof member in which the screw is driven, thereby protecting an attaching hole (12) from rainwater seepage. An upper plate 73 overlaps the specific roof member with a fastening element (117, 118, 119) driven into the attaching hole (12). An overlying roof member is arranged over the specific roof member, thereby also protecting the attaching hole (12) from rainwater seepage.

Abstract:
It is an object to develop a roof structure having high water interception, being safe from rain leakage, and ensuring a certain level of mounting strength even in the case of a broken roof member. Solar cell modules are mounted on a roof structure with slate tiles via eaves-side mounting brackets and intermediate mounting brackets. The intermediate mounting brackets are attached to a “specific roof member” wherein a lower plate is positioned between the “specific roof member” and an “underlying roof member.” The lower plate is fixed by a screw driven into a hole. The “specific roof member” is arranged over the “underlying roof member”, thereby protecting an attaching hole from rainwater. An upper plate overlaps the “specific roof member” with a fastening element driven into the attaching hole. An “overlying roof member” is arranged over the “specific roof member,” thereby protecting the attaching hole from rainwater.
