Abstract: It is possible to cope with a memory write procedure in which every time data is written into a memory every predetermined amount unit, it is confirmed that readout of the data from the memory has been completed, and then the next write of the data into the memory is performed, and loads on a CPU on a memory readout side can be reduced. In a case where the write of the predetermined amount unit of the data from a PC 2 into an FIFO memory 100 is detected, with respect to the PC 2, a signal is generated which notifies that the readout of the data from the FIFO memory 100 has been completed, and in a case where a stored data amount in the FIFO memory 100 reaches a readout start storage amount, an interrupt signal is generated with respect to a CPU 10 of a PC card 1.

Abstract: A data storing device of the present invention includes a cylindrical or hollow cylindrical data storing medium rotatable about its own axis and having a storage layer formed on its circumferential surface for storing data. A head adjoins the storage layer for writing or reading data in or out of the storage layer. A head moving mechanism causes the head to move back and forth along the axis of the data storing medium. A drive motor includes a stator and a rotor spaced from the stator and directly coaxially connected to the data storing medium.

Abstract: A high potential barrier is prevented from being formed on a hetero-boundary surface between a p-type AlGaInP cladding layer and a p-type GaP window layer by forming an insertion layer having a smaller band gap energy than that of the p-type AlGaInP cladding layer therebetween. The insertion layer serves as a forward voltage reducing layer, and the forward voltage of a LED is lowered.
