  • Publication number: 20190111617
    Abstract: The invention is to provide a resin powder that is highly robust with regard to temperature control and is capable of improving heat resistance of a molded article. In order to solve the above problem, the resin powder according to the invention uses a mixed resin powder in which a thermoplastic base resin powder and a thermoplastic high-melting-point resin powder having a melting point higher than that of the base resin powder are mixed together. For example, isophthalic acid copolymerized PBT (polybutylene terephthalate) is used in the base resin powder, and homo-PBT is used in the high-melting-point resin powder. Alternatively, a polyamide 12 is used in the base resin powder, and MXD nylon is used in the high-melting-point resin powder.

  • Patent number: 9940071
    Abstract: A memory system includes a non-volatile memory and a controller circuit. The controller circuit is configured to carry out an atomic write operation in the non-volatile memory in response to an atomic write command, and selectively carry out one of a first operation and a second operation corresponding to address mapping between a logical address and a physical address of the non-volatile memory, along with the atomic write operation. When the first operation is selected, the controller circuit starts to update the address mapping after receiving a notification that writing of all data of the atomic write operation has been completed. When the second operation is carried out, the controller circuit starts to update the address mapping before receiving the notification.
