Abstract: Embodiments of the invention relate to systems and methods for controlling data transfer. In one embodiment, a method for controlling data transfer comprises receiving a data transfer request from an external device; and writing data transfer information based on the data transfer request into a local memory by a processor. The data transfer information includes information indicating a storage position in a buffer memory and information indicating a storage position in a cache memory. The method further comprises reading the data transfer information from the local memory by a data transfer control processor which is connected with the processor via a bus; and transferring the data stored in one of the buffer memory and the cache memory into the other one of the buffer memory and the cache memory, according to the data transfer information, by the data transfer control processor.

Abstract: A phosphor exhibiting afterglow more intensely and persistently than (Sr, Eu, Dy)O.Al.sub.2 O.sub.3 phosphors. The phoshor has a chemical composition comprising mainly an Eu.sup.2+ activated strontium aluminate phosphor substance as a matrix in which a part of the strontium (Sr) is substituted with at least one of Pb, Dy and Zn.

Abstract: An iron golf club set characterized in that the difference of the club lengths between at least two adjacent golf clubs in terms of the club number in a middle iron golf club group is set to be greater than the pitch difference of the club length between the club numbers in a long iron golf club group and the pitch difference of the club lengths between the club numbers in a short iron golf club group.

Abstract: A brake apparatus for automatic doors including a speed pulse signal output device for providing speed pulse signals at a time interval inversely proportional to the door speed of an automatic door, a brake for slowing the door speed, a braking position detector for detecting braking position when the brake starts braking, a brake effect measurer for measuring the effect of the brake and a braking power controller for adjusting the braking power of the brake in accordance with the measured braking effect whereby the motion of the door is kept constant irrespective of the door weight and other conditions.

Abstract: Major adjustments of an equipment such as a television receiver are attained by remote control signals from a remote control signal transmitter provided for the equipment. A memory for storing control data for a signal processing circuit, a control circuit for controlling the signal processing circuit and the memory, and a switching circuit for setting the control circuit in a first mode or a second mode are provided. In the first mode, the signal processing circuit is controlled by the remote control signal, and in the second mode, the signal processing circuit is controlled by the same remote control signal and the resulting control data is written into the memory.

Abstract: A process for producing a filler for adhesive for bonding wood which comprises contacting a raw material of filler for adhesive composed of a vegetable cellulosic material with saturated steam or superheated steam and thereby heat-treating it.
