Abstract: A method and system for managing control information associated with a file
is disclosed. According to the method, a cache is established in a first file block for
storing a second type of file control data. The cache has a cache range. In response to
receiving a command to write the file, a first and second type of file control data is
generated. The second type of file control data has a logical block number identifying
a location in the second file block where the second type of file control data is to be
stored. The first type of file control data is stored in the first file block. If the logical
block number is within the cache range, then the second type of file control data is
stored in the cache. If the logical block number is outside the cache range, then the
cache is flushed by copying the previously stored second type of the control data in
the cache to a second file block. The second type of file control data is then written
into the cache.

Abstract: Alkylhalosilanes are produced by first fluidizing a
metallic silicon powder with an inert gas, preheating the
silicon powder at a temperature between 200°C and a steady
reaction temperature while keeping the silicon powder
fluidized, adding a copper catalyst to the preheated silicon
powder to form a contact mass, and feeding an alkyl halide
into the contact mass whereby the alkylhalosilanes are
formed by direct synthesis. This process prevents the
copper catalyst from being sintered by thermal hysteresis
and activates a high catalysis on the contact mass at the
start of reaction. The desired dialkyldihalosilane can be
produced at a high selectivity.

Abstract: An accumulation unit (701) accumulates, in a

direction, an electrical signal prepared by
photoelectrically converting optical image information
obtained by scanning an original image to be formed
with a carriage in the subscanning direction. A
magnification setting (711) unit sets the copy
magnification. A speed change (710) unit changes the
moving speed of the carriage in accordance with the
copy magnification, and when the set copy magnification
is equal to or smaller than a certain magnification in
reduction, changes the carriage moving speed to 1/n (n:
a natural number larger than 1) from the relationship
between the current magnification and the carriage
moving speed. A preprocessing unit (703) converts the
electrical signal into a digital signal, has a line
memory for storing 1-line input image data in the main
scanning direction, performs arithmetic processing for
multilevel n-line data in the main scanning direction
to change the subscanning magnification in reduction,

Abstract: An application module (A) running on a host computer in a computer network
is failure-protected with one or more backup copies that are operative on other host
computers in the network. In order to effect fault protection, the application module
registers itself with a ReplicaManager daemon process (112) by sending a
registration message, which message, in addition to identifying the registering
application module and the host computer on which it is running, includes the
particular replication strategy (cold backup, warm backup, or hot backup) and the
degree of replication associated with that application module. The backup copies
are then maintained in a fail-over state according to the registered replication
strategy. A WatchDog daemon (113), running on the same host computer as the
registered application periodically monitors the registered application to detect
failures. When a failure, such as a crash or hangup of the application module, is
detected, the failure is reported to the ReplicaManager, which effects the requested
fail-over actions. An additional backup copy is then made operative in accordance
with the registered replication style and the registered degree of replication. A
SuperWatchDog daemon process (115-1), running on the same host computer as
the ReplicaManager, monitors each host computer in the computer network. When
a host failure is detected, each application module running on that host computer is
individually failure-protected in accordance with its registered replication style and
degree of replication.
