摘要:
A transmission LSI calculates a buffer usage rate in accordance with data stored in a buffer in a transmission data processing unit and determines, in accordance with the calculated buffer usage rate, the number of signal lines that perform a phase readjustment and the timing thereof. Then, the transmission LSI and a receiving LSI perform a phase adjustment using some of the signal lines and continues a data transfer using the rest of the signal lines. Accordingly, it is possible to maintain the optimum phase of a clock without delaying the data transfer.

A transmitting circuit transmits data to which an error detection code is attached to a receiving circuit via a transmission path. When detecting the error of the data received via the transmission path, a receiving circuit transmits a retransmit request for the data in which the error is detected to the transmitting circuit. The receiving circuit enters a termination unit adjustment period using the error detection of the received data as a trigger and updates the resistance values of a receiving side termination unit installed at the termination of the transmission path to an appropriate value within the termination unit adjustment period.

To prevent a decrease in performance of controlling a snoop tag. A queue is stored with REPLACE target WAY information and an index as an entry associated with a REPLACE request received from a processor, the index stored in the queue is compared with an index of a subsequent READ request, and, as a result of the comparison, a process based on the index-coincident READ request is executed with respect to the snoop tag corresponding to a content of a cache memory of the processor. Further, the REPLACE target WAY information of the READ request is replaced with the WAY information in the index-coincident entry within the queue.

A high-accuracy, long-life hydrodynamic bearing that does not cause oil film breakage in bearing clearances and a disc rotation apparatus using the bearing is disclosed. Oil film breakage is avoided as negative pressure is prevented from generating between the shaft and sleeve of the hydrodynamic bearing. Herringbone shaped dynamic pressure generating grooves, located on the thrust bearing section and the radial bearing section of the hydrodynamic bearing, are oil filled and have optimum shapes. The optimum shapes prevent the generation negative pressure and thus prevents the coagulation of air bubbles that can cause oil film breakage. The disc rotation apparatus, that holds a reproduction/recording disc, is concentrically secured to the hydrodynamic bearing and rotated. The disc is put into contact with magnetic or optical heads while rotating in the disc rotation apparatus. Both the hydrodynamic bearing and the disc rotation apparatus experience high reliability.

A sleeve 1 is fixed on a base. Radial dynamic-pressure generating grooves 1A and 1B are provided on an inner surface of the sleeve 1. A thrust plate 4 hermetically seals a lower opening end of the sleeve 1. A shaft 2 is inserted inside the sleeve 1, being allowed to revolve. A flange 3 is fixed at the bottom end of the shaft 2, and its lower surface is placed close to an upper surface of the thrust plate 4. Thrust dynamic-pressure generating grooves 3A and 3B are provided on the surfaces of the flange 3. Gaps A–H among the sleeve 1, the shaft 2, the flange 3, and the thrust plate 4 are filled with a lubricant 5. Hollows 1C–1F are provided on the inner surface of the sleeve 1. The gaps A and C over the thrust dynamic-pressure generating grooves 3A and 3B and their vicinities are narrower than the surrounding gaps B and D (A
摘要:
A vacuum pump includes a positive displacement vacuum pump structure section disposed on a discharge opening side; a kinetic vacuum pump structure section, disposed on a suction opening side, for providing a high vacuum; and a kinetic vacuum pump structure section, disposed on a suction opening side, for providing a high pumping speed. The construction of the kinetic vacuum pump structure section is different from that of the kinetic vacuum pump structure section so as to differ relative thereto in one of ultimate pressure, pumping speed, and pumping speed of sucked gas with respect to a molecular weight of the sucked gas.

Short circuit failures and open circuit failures of light-emitting elements used for the backlight in an LCD panel can be reliably and easily detected. The voltage at the node between each series-connected light-emitting element array and a drive circuit is detected as a monitored voltage. A maximum detector detects the highest and a minimum detector detects the lowest of these monitored voltages. Short circuit or open circuit failure of a light-emitting element is detected by comparing the voltage difference between the maximum detector output and the minimum detector output with a specific reference voltage.

A control device managing a plurality of nodes transmitting and receiving data containing an error correcting code, comprises means accepting, when any one of the nodes detects an uncorrectable error from the data containing the error correcting code, a signal transmitted by the node detecting the error, means judging from a record of the detection of a first node, when accepting the signal from a second node receiving data transmitted by the first node, whether or not the first node has detected the uncorrectable error from the data transmitted to the second node, and means stopping, when the first node has detected the uncorrectable error from the data transmitted to the second node, a process attributed to the acceptance of the signal from the second node.

In a system controller including a CPU-issued request queue having a circuit that processes plural requests having identical addresses not to be inputted to the CPU-issued request queue, a latest request other than a cache replace request is retained by an input-request retaining section. Consequently, even if an address of an issued request for cache replace request matches an address of a request retained by the CPU-issued request queue, the issued request for the cache replace request is not retried but is queued in the CPU-issued request queue when the address of the issued request for the cache replace request does not match the entire address retained by the input-request retaining section.
