Abstract: A memory system includes a nonvolatile memory and a memory controller including a bus, a cache memory, a direct memory access controller, a first search circuit, a second search circuit, and a transfer control circuit. The direct memory access controller transfers cache target data stored in the nonvolatile memory to the cache memory. The second search circuit searches the cache target data that is being transferred. The transfer control circuit assigns, in response to the second search circuit detecting a search hit, to the transfer control circuit and the second search circuit, a bus right which has been assigned at least to the cache memory for the transfer of the cache target data to the cache memory, and obtains, by using the assigned bus right, a search result from the second search circuit via the bus.

Abstract: A motion assist device includes a drive mechanism that applies a force to the body of a user through the intermediary of a first orthosis and a second orthosis, posture detectors that detect the posture of the user, and a control unit that controls the drive mechanism. A transmission mechanism of the drive mechanism is configured to be switchable between a transmission mode, in which a driving force based on a spring is transmitted to move a joint into a predetermined state, and a non-transmission mode, in which a joint can be freely moved without transmitting the driving force that has been accumulated. The control unit automatically switches the transmission mechanism to the non-transmission mode when a predetermined trigger event is recognized based on the posture of the user.
