A disk controller has a channel adapter having a connection interface to a host computer or a disk drive; a memory adapter for temporarily storing data to be transferred between the host computer and disk drive; a processor adapter for controlling operations of the channel adapter and memory adapter; and a switch adapter for configuring an inner network by interconnecting the channel adapter, memory adapter and processor adapter, wherein the channel adapter, memory adapter, processor adapter and switch adapter each include a DMA controller for performing a communication protocol control of the inner network; and packet multiplex communication is performed among the DMA controllers provided in the adapters. The disk controller can realize a high transfer efficiency and a low cost while retaining a high reliability. A storage system includes an interface unit having an interface with a server or hard drives, a memory unit, a processor unit, and an interconnection.

A method of treating the surface of copper is provided to ensure adhesive strength between the surface of copper and an insulating layer without forming irregularities exceeding 1 μm on the surface of copper and to improve insulation reliability between wirings. A copper whose surface is treated by the above surface treating method is also provided. The method of treating the surface of copper comprises the surface of copper comprising the steps of: forming a metal nobler than copper discretely on the surface of copper; and subsequently oxidizing the surface of copper by using an alkaline solution containing an oxidant.

In the present invention, the communication quality of a communication network that provides a plurality of types of communication services is measured, and the measured communication quality is compared with a preset criterion to determine an abnormality type and whether or not management is necessary. When a determination is made that management is necessary, information about management is extracted from a database in which information about management with respect to abnormalities is recorded in association with communication network devices constituting the communication network, the service types of communication services and abnormality types, based on a communication network device, service type and abnormality type corresponding to the measured communication quality, and then an output such as a notification and control of the device based on the extracted information is given.

A PLD is interposed on the communication route between a microprocessor (hereinbelow called MP) and boot memories. The boot memories store MP start-up data needed to start up the MP and start-up protection code constituting protection code for the MP start-up data. The PLD reads the MP start-up data and the start-up protection code thereof from the boot memories, performs, in hardware fashion, a check of the validity of the MP start-up data using this start-up protection code and, if a negative check result is obtained, resets the MP and if a positive check result is obtained, inputs the start-up data that is thus read to the MP.
摘要:
A regulated amount measuring apparatus indicates a difference between two colors, for example, a discrepancy between a color of a printed matter in proof and a target color, to provide an index for a color regulation. A profile of the printing machine of interest is stored. Two sets of colorimetry values obtained through twice colorimetry for a proof image and the printed matter of a proof for instance are converted through the color profile to obtain two sets of coordinate values on a device color space, for example, CMY color space. Differences ΔC, ΔM and ΔY between the two sets of coordinate values are computed and then displayed.

摘要:
In a semiconductor device having an SOI structure and a method of manufacturing the same, influence by a parasitic transistor can be prevented, and no disadvantage is caused in connection with a manufacturing process. In this semiconductor device, an upper side portion of a semiconductor layer is rounded. Thereby, concentration of an electric field at the upper side portion of the semiconductor layer can be prevented. As a result, lowering of a threshold voltage of a parasitic transistor can be prevented, so that the parasitic transistor does not adversely affect subthreshold characteristics of a regular transistor. Owing to provision of a concavity of a U-shaped section, generation of etching residue can be prevented when etching a gate electrode for patterning the same. Thereby, a disadvantage is not caused in connection with the manufacturing process.
