Abstract:
A nonvolatile memory with flash erase capability includes a plurality of clusters each having a plurality of sectors, each of the sectors holding the attribute information for identification. A cluster information sector is placed at the top of a cluster to which it belongs. A data sector is placed in a data area which is the region other than the top of the cluster. A controller connected to the nonvolatile memory creates a cluster information copy sector when erasing a cluster, and reconstructs cluster management information from the cluster information copy sector when initializing a cluster, thereby forming a cluster information sector. Accordingly, endurance against failure such as power failure in a solid state file apparatus using the nonvolatile memory is improved.
Abstract:
A hybrid magnetic bubble memory device includes, magnetic bubble propagation tracks formed of partial ion-implantation and bubble propagation tracks formed of a soft magnetic material pattern. At least one of the junctions between the two type tracks is located on a corner soft magnetic material pattern where the bubble propagation direction is changed, and the hairpin conductor is superposed on the part of the corner pattern under which the magnetic material is not ion-implanted to form ion-implanted propagation tracks.
Abstract:
In a magnetic bubble module comprising magnetic bubble chips disposed on substrates and driving coils surrounding the magnetic bubble chips, at least one of the substrates extends from the inside to the outside of the coils and serves as a heat transfer plate. The heat transfer plate includes at least one metal foil having a thickness smaller than a skin depth of the metal.

A projector can prevent a flicker from being caused by rotation of a rotating phosphor plate. The projector includes a solid-state light source that emits excitation light, a rotating phosphor plate that converts the excitation light into phosphor light, a liquid-crystal light modulating device that modulates the light from the rotating phosphor plate, a projection optical system that projects the modulated light onto a screen, and a control device that controls the solid-state light source and the rotating phosphor plate so as to satisfy any one of a conditional expression A=B, a conditional expression A=2B, and a conditional expression |A−B| is greater than or equal to 20 and |A−2B| is greater than or equal to 20, where A represents a pulse width modulation control frequency in hertz of the solid-state light source and B represents a rotation frequency in hertz of the rotating phosphor plate.

Abstract:
Some embodiments provide a system that facilitates the creation of an equation. During operation, the system obtains a user selection of a function to be used in the equation. Next, the system determines a state of a graphical user interface (GUI) associated with a software program. More specifically, the system may determine a cursor position or a text selection in the equation. Finally, the system facilitates the creation of the equation by inserting the function into the equation based at least on the determined state.
