*「GeoMation」は、地図を利用した各種業務システムを実現するために、様々な形式のデータと統合・連動可能なエンタープライズ型のGIS商品です。

お客様に対する営業現場では、迅速な展開が可能で、お客様の満足度を向上できるものと考えております。
「GeoMation/ケータイ」はDoCoMo,auの通信キャリアで使用できます。本商品は操作性を考慮し、携帯電話上のアプリケーションで対応しており、使用開始時に通信キャリヤから携帯電話上に携帯アプリをダウンロードした上で使用します。入力作業を極力抑えるように設計しており、携帯電話の扱いに不慣れな方でも簡単に利用出来ると考えています。
「GeoMation」はこれまで地図をベースとした展開で電気・水道・ガス等の設備管理などの分野で導入されてきました。今回「GeoMation/ケータイ」を提供することにより、より現場に密着した防災関連、災害対応、損保・金融・不動産売買などのお客様に対する営業支援、物品の運送部門等への展開も新たな展開マーケットと考えています。
日立ソフトでは、本製品の販売を機にGeoMationシリーズ全体で1年間に5億円の売り上げを見込んでいます。

NYMEX receives CFTC regulatory approval to clear DME trades DUBAI, United Arab Emirates, May 25 /Xinhua-PRNewswire/ -- The Dubai Mercantile Exchange Limited (DME), a joint venture between Tatweer, a member of Dubai Holding, and the New York Mercantile Exchange Inc. (NYMEX), announced today that it has received "no-action" relief from the Division of Market Oversight of the US Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC). This relief enables US-based DME Members and their "Guaranteed Customers" to enter orders directly from the US through DME Direct(TM). In addition, the CFTC issued an order permitting NYMEX and CFTC-registered Futures Commission Merchants (FCM's) to hold DME customer positions and associated funds in US customer-segregated accounts in connection with NYMEX's clearing of futures and options on futures contracts traded on the DME. Welcoming the decision, Ahmad Sharaf, Chairman of the DME, said: "The DME has now received all necessary regulatory approvals to operate as the Middle East's first international energy and commodities futures exchange and is ready to launch on June 1. Following three years of preparation and consultation with the industry, we are confident that our historic launch of the Middle East's first international energy and commodities futures exchange will create increased transparency and provide robust risk management in the region for the first time." NYMEX President and Chief Executive Officer James E. Newsome said: "NYMEX appreciates the effort and cooperation of the CFTC. The no-action relief and ability to clear DME customers in US customer-segregated accounts will facilitate US participation in the DME markets from day one, which we believe will help establish the Oman Crude Oil Futures Contract as the world's sour crude oil benchmark." Gary King, Chief Executive Officer of the DME, commented: "All elements of the Exchange are prepared and ready to go -- most notable, the successful production testing of DME Direct(TM), registration of more than 60 Members and over 20 Market Makers and last but not least the completion of our state-of-the-art trading floor within the Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC)." Chief Compliance Officer, Sarah Watts added: "We recently announced that the DFSA had granted us the Authorised Market Institution licence. In addition, twelve of the world's leading strategic jurisdictions have given us their regulatory approvals and `no objections', which underscores the international confidence in the DME and its regulatory and legal environment. The additional `no action' relief granted by the CFTC provides further confidence and certainty for our customers and partners. The CFTC has been most diligent and constructive in guiding us through this process and we would like to extend our sincere thanks to them." The DME is set to launch the Middle East's first and only physically-settled energy futures contract, the Oman Crude Oil Futures Contract, on June 1, 2007 as well as two financially settled futures contracts, a Brent-Oman spread contract and a WTI-Oman spread contract. In addition, the DME, ENOC Supply & Trading (LLC) and Emirates Airline are currently exploring the development of a jet fuel futures contract in collaboration with other industry stakeholders with a view to listing the first jet fuel futures contract on the Exchange at a later date in 2007. About the Dubai Mercantile Exchange The Dubai Mercantile Exchange Limited (DME), a joint venture between the New York Mercantile Exchange, Inc. (NYMEX) and Tatweer, a member of Dubai Holding, aims to become the premier commodity and energy futures exchange in the Middle East, providing a financially secure, well-regulated and transparent trading environment. The Exchange will initially develop and trade an Oman Crude Oil Futures Contract. This will address a growing market need for price discovery of Middle East Sour Crude Oil while simultaneously bridging the time zone gap between Europe and Asia by providing for the trading of energy futures, options and other products. The DME will be a fully electronic exchange. However, in a unique concept, it will also bring together a community of traders that will operate from trading hubs and individual trading stations on the Exchange's floor, which will be located within the Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC), the region's leading financial services centre. The DME is regulated by the Dubai Financial Services Authority (DFSA), a world class, independent regulator, and all trades executed on the Exchange will be cleared through, and guaranteed by, NYMEX's AA+ rated clearinghouse.

2007年05月25日 地上デジタルやBSデジタル、CSデジタルなどのデジタル放送工事で重要なことは、館内の同軸ケーブルが使用可能かどうかということです。この調査を伝送テストといいます。主にマンションの館内に使用されている同軸ケーブルには3種類あります。5C-2V(衛星未対応)と5C-FE(衛星準対応)、5C-FB(衛星対応/正確にはS-5C-FBが衛星対応で、5C-FBは770MHzまで保障されている)です。但し、5C-2Vだからといってあきらめてはいけません。5C-2Vは良いケーブルもあれば駄目なケーブルもあるのです。また、5C-FEや5C-FBも使用年数や状態によっては増幅器の台数も何台にしていいのか調べたら良いのか調べるため、伝送テストをする場合もあります。伝送テストにより、館内の同軸ケーブルの性能がわかれば、どう設計したらよいか、わかってきます。または、工事した後に「追加工事が必要です」と増幅器の台数を増やすことにはならないでしょう。弊社は、見積でいきなり外配線を提案することはありません。 |
