    摘要: A nonvolatile memory-with cluster-erase flash capability. A cluster information sector is included in each of N clusters, the cluster information sector of each cluster being written with the sequence number assigned to the cluster so that no two clusters have the same sequence number. When erasing a given sector, a controller saves its sequence number prior to erasure. Then, when initializing a given erased sector, the controller sets its sequence number to a value greater than the current maximum sequence number. The controller writes user data to sectors other than the cluster information sector for the cluster thus initialized according to their address sequence. Accordingly, an invalid sector can be distinguished from a valid sector without using an overwrite approach.

    摘要: An array of memory cells is physically divided into a data area and a tag area so that respective parts of the two areas share a word line but can be separately erased en bloc. The data area and tag area sharing one word line constitute a single logical unit. In the logical unit, the tag area stores location information for defective memory cells in the corresponding data area. On the basis of this information, the system avoids the use of the defective memory cells. The defective memory cell information is programmed in a test step performed after chip manufacture and, at the same time, ECCs are generated for the defective memory cell information and written to the tag area. Furthermore, the system is informed of the validity of the data area that shares a word line with a tag area by writing predetermined data to the tag area. Even when the data area is erased en bloc, the tag area is not erased and the defective memory cell information is retained there.

    摘要: 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.

    摘要: An image display apparatus includes a light-source driving circuit that drives a light source to cyclically change brightness. A control unit controls a pixel to turn on and off over a plurality of subfields in a field so that transmittance or reflectance in the pixel over the plurality of subfields in the field corresponds to a gray level specified for the pixel. The control unit also arranges the plurality of subfields such that two or more gray-level defining subfields maintain a predetermined relationship with respect to the cyclical change in brightness of the light source caused by drive of a light-source driving circuit.

    摘要: Some embodiments provide a system for displaying cells of a table. During operation, the system can receive a sort-and-merge request for sorting the rows of the table using a sort column. Next, the system can sort the rows of the table based at least on cell values in the sort column to obtain a sorted table. The system can then merge a set of consecutive cells in a merge column of the sorted table to obtain a merged cell, wherein the set of consecutive cells are associated with the same cell value. Note that the sort column and the merge column can be the same column, or they can be different columns. Next, the system can display the merged cell and other cells in the sorted-and-merged table. Displaying a cell can involve positioning the cell's value in a visible area of the cell.
