  • Patent number: 8539156
    Abstract: When a command to restore a logical unit is issued after a command to delete the logical unit, the logical unit is restored easily. When a controller receives an LU deletion command from a management terminal and if the relevant LU is a normal LU, it retains information about the deletion target LU, from among information in an LU management table, as reset information; and if the relevant LU is a virtual LU, the controller retains information about the deletion target LU, from among information in a virtual address table, as the reset information. If the controller receives an LU restoration command to restore the deletion target LU as an access target LU, from the management terminal, it restores the retained reset information as setting information corresponding to the access target LU and manages the restored setting information by using the LU management table or the virtual address table, thereby processing an access request from a host computer.

  • Patent number: 8342894
    Abstract: A terminal fitting includes an open-barrel shaped electric wire crimping section for connecting a conductor of an electric wire to the terminal fitting by crimping. The electric wire crimping section has a clamping region in a range except for both ends of the electric wire crimping section in a wiring direction of the conductor. A fixing portion is formed by displacing a part of the clamping region of the electric wire crimping section to the conductor. Locking portions are disposed at both sides of the fixing portion in the wiring direction of the conductor with the fixing portion being located between them respectively. The locking portions are configured for coupling the fixing portion and a remainder of the electric wire crimping section to each other in a step-like way.

  • Publication number: 20110018887
    Abstract: An exemplary apparatus for controlling display devices writes pixel data in a buffer in synchronous with an input clock signal. A differential value that represents a change of timing difference between input and output sides is calculated in each of a plurality of frames, and a timing correction based on the differential value calculated during the previous frame is performed within the vertical blanking period. Thereafter, the pixel data is read and output from the buffer to the display device in synchronous with an output clock signal.
