Abstract: A disk data reproducing apparatus and a disk data reproducing method for carrying out error correction at fixed intervals independent of demodulation rate fluctuations caused by variable disk revolutions during access, whereby the reliability of error correction is improved. Data are demodulated by use of a regenerative clock signal acquired in keeping with the input data rate, whereas error correction is conducted at a fixed frequency clock signal. Two counters are provided, one being incremented by a signal generated upon detection of a block top, the other counter being incremented by a signal generated when a block of erroneous data is corrected. The two computers are compared in contents so that depending on the result of the comparison, an error correction start signal is generated. Error correction is performed always at fixed intervals regardless of the velocity of reproduction being standard, doubled, quadrupled, or multiplied by a factor of j (j: natural number).

Abstract: When an operator touches a reagent interruption key during a continuous analyzing operation of samples in an operation state, the succeeding sampling operation is temporarily suspended and a reagent interruption screen is displayed on a screen of a CRT. A reagent delivery operation as to pipetted samples and a light-measurement operation as to the reaction solution are continued. A waiting time period until an operation for exchanging a reagent bottle can be started is displayed on the screen. When the waiting time period becomes zero minutes, an operator touches an execution key. Then, a screen representing readiness for exchanging a reagent bottle is displayed and an analyzing apparatus is placed in a reagent exchange waiting state for waiting for exchanging the reagent bottle. When an operator touches the execution key after exchanging the reagent bottle, the analysis apparatus reads bar codes o the reagent bottles on the reagent disks and registers the reagent information.

The waveform converter converts the voltage waveform on a time axis of a rectangular wave output by the charge-pump circuit into a waveform which: is symmetrical with respect to a predetermined point of time; oscillates so as to have no direct-current component; and has a maximum value of the absolute values of maximums of wave heights thereof located at the center wherein the absolute value decreases uniformly as the wave height is separated farther away from the center.

Abstract: A shallow groove isolation structure (SGI) electrically insulates adjoining transistors on a semiconductor substrate. A pad oxide film is formed on the semiconductor substrate and an oxidation inhibition film is formed on the pad oxide film. Parts of the oxide inhibition film and pad oxide film are removed to form the groove. In particular, the pad oxide film is removed from an upper edge of the groove within a range of 5 to 40 nm. A region of the groove is oxidized in an oxidation environment with a cast ratio of hydrogen (H.sub.2) to oxygen (O.sub.2) being less than or equal to 0.5. At this ratio, the oxidizing progresses under low stress at the upper groove edges of the substrate thereby enabling rounding of the upper groove edges without creating a level difference at or near the upper groove edge on the substrate surface.

Abstract: An information accessing method permits the user data belonging to a client-server system to be accessed by a user belonging to another client-server system under proper security and controls the permission for accessing the user data according to the security ranks of the user whose data is to be accessed and the user who wants to access the data. When a client unit issues a request for accessing the user data of the user belonging to the other client-server system, the request for access is sent to an ID conversion unit through a user ID management unit. The ID conversion unit operates to convert a user ID into a guest ID by referring to an ID conversion table, and then sends the request for access to a user ID management unit. The user ID management unit makes sure that the guest ID is registered by referring to the user ID table.

Abstract: A shared memory multiprocessor (SMP) has efficient access to a main memory included in a particular node and a management of partitions that include the nodes. In correspondence with each page of main memory included in a node, a bit stored in a register indicates if the page has been accessed from any other node. In a case where the bit is "0", a cache coherent command to be sent to the other nodes is not transmitted. The bit is reset by software at the time of initialization and memory allocation, and it is set by hardware when the page of the main memory is accessed from any other node. In a case where the interior of an SMP is divided into partitions, the main memory of each node is divided into local and shared areas, for which respectively separate addresses can be designated. In each node, the configuration information items of the shared area and the local area are stored in registers.
