A multicylinder rotary compressor has a plurality of cylinders housing rolling pistons which are rotated inside the cylinders by a common crankshaft. Each cylinder has a separate suction pipe. At least one of the suction pipes has a check valve which may be closed to unload the cylinder to which the suction pipe is connected. The check valve has a housing and a slider which can slide inside the housing between an open position and a closed position. The check valve may be closed by introduction of high-pressure refrigerant gas into the space beneath the slider to push it to the closed position when a cylinder is to be unloaded. In another form of the invention, the check valve is closed by a spring made of a shape-memory alloy and a heater for heating the spring above a prescribed temperature at which the allow changes shape. When a cylinder is to be unloaded, the heater is turned on, and the shape-memory alloy deforms into a shape such as to force the slide to the closed position. Lubricating oil may be provided to an unloaded cylinder.

According to one embodiment, there is provided memory system including a non-volatile memory device, a monitoring unit, and a changing unit. The non-volatile memory device stores data. The monitoring unit monitors a characteristic of the non-volatile memory device when writing and erasing processes are performed to write and erase the data to and from the non-volatile memory device. The changing unit changes at least one of a value of a writing start voltage and an increase width of a writing voltage in the writing process in accordance with the monitored characteristic so that a time for the writing process is substantially identical to a target value. The writing process is a process in which a writing operation and a verification operation are alternately repeated.
