A method of recording digital signals on a disk which has at least a first recording surface and a second recording surface both being readable from a same side of the disk. The digital signals are in the form of a data frame which includes at least n data blocks (n is a natural number). The method includes the steps of assigning block addresses to a series of the data blocks included in the data frame in order, respectively; recording, at the head of the data frame, a lead-in block including information indicating a number of recording surfaces, an end data block address of the first recording surface, and an end data block address of the data frame; recording first to m-th data blocks (m is a natural number, 0

An audio amplifier with no turn-on pop noise is achieved by the following features: (i) an input stage which operates under zero common-mode input voltage, (ii) an output stage which provides the low voltage end of its voltage swing very close to ground voltage, and (iii) a system of shunt circuits for discharging external capacitors, so as to prevent, upon subsequent power-up, pop noises due to residue charges in the external capacitors. In one embodiment, two peripheral collector transistors are provided to implement a window comparator for discharging the input terminals, the bias voltage and the output terminal of the audio amplifier.

An air flow rate measuring device for measuring intake air flow rate in an automotive engine, improved to reduce any error attributable to variation in the configurations of air cleaner and/or duct forming air passage upstream of the flow rate measuring device, thus offering high accuracy of the flow rate measurement. In one aspect of the invention, the inlet opening of a sub-air passage is disposed to contain the axis of a main air passage, while the outlet opening of the sub-air passage is disposed in the vicinity of a wall defining the main air passage. In order to cause a local reduction of the pressure of the principal of the air flow at the outlet opening, a protrusion or a flat surface which causes impediment to the flow if air in the main air passage is provided immediately upstream of the outlet opening. In another aspect, the inlet surface in which the inlet of the sub-air passage opens is stepped in the direction of flow of the air so as to enable air to be introduced into air flow rate measuring portion in the sub-air passage from different regions in the main air passage while giving a preselected order of preference to these different regions.

Disclosed is a method of jointing a member of Ti-Al alloy which mainly consists of an intermetallic compound, TiAl, and a member of structural steel. The jointing uses an intermediate member made of an austenitic stainless steel or a heat resistant steel, or a Ni-based or Co-based superalloy, between the above two members, and the jointing of the intermediate member and the structural steel member at least is carried out by friction welding. A typical example of the jointed machine part manufactured by this method is an engine valve.

A data storage apparatus having improved data transfer performance. The storage apparatus has: plural controllers connected to each other by first data transfer paths; plural processors controlling the controllers; and second data transfer paths through which the controllers send data to various devices. Each of the controllers has a data-processing portion for transferring data to the first and second data transfer paths. The data-processing portion has a header detection portion for detecting first header information constituting data, a selection portion for selecting data sets having continuous addresses of transfer destination and using the same data transfer path from plural data sets such that a coupled data set is created from the selected data sets, a header creation portion for creating second header information about the coupled data set, and coupled data creation means for creating the coupled data set from the selected data sets and from the second header information.

A storage system of an embodiment of this invention comprises a first transfer engine, a second transfer engine, a first storage device, a second storage device, a processor, and a transfer sequencer which is a device different from the processor. The processor creates transfer sequence information for indicating a sequence of transfers of user data. The transfer sequencer receives the transfer sequence information made by the processor and controls the first and the second transfer engines in accordance with the transfer sequence information. The first and the second transfer engines transfer user data between storage devices in accordance with instructions from the transfer sequencer.
摘要:
The present invention aims for efficient use of storage capacity in a storage system by reducing the amount of time taken for processing including removing redundancy and data compression executed with respect to transferred data.Focusing on data patterns included in transferred data, the most suitable pattern is detected, and de-duplication processing is gradually executed. Data compression is then executed with data after de-duplication as a target. Determination of the decision for execution of gradual de-duplication processing, or execution of compression processing is made depending on the amount of data remaining at each processing stage and the system load.
