Abstract: Upon receiving an access request from a server, a microprocessor allocates a free slot as a data storage destination that is different from the LU# and LBA designated as a storage destination of user data, stores user data and data identifying information for identifying the user data in the free slot, and zero-clears the pre-updated data slot designated with the LU# and LBA. During a subsequent read access, the microprocessor accesses the data slot and, if the read data identifying information and the data identifying information designated in the read access from the server coincide, transfers this read data to the server as correct data, and, if the read data identifying information and the data identifying information designated in the read access from the server do not coincide, performs processing for recovering correct data based on the read data identifying information.

Abstract: Excellent gas sealing properties were difficult to achieve with a structure that uses a meal material to control material cost and does not increase the number of components. A cell is configured by using a metal separator having at least one protruding structure between a manifold and an electrode channel, and having a communicating channel structure that forms a fluid circulating space by being folded back at the side containing a connection so that the tip of the protruding structure is in contact with a surface of the separator. Accordingly, a gas channel from the manifold to an electrode surface can be easily formed integrally. This can be applied to a metal material easily.

According to one embodiment, a magnetic film, a first inorganic mask film, an organic film, a second inorganic mask film, and a resist pattern are formed in this order.

The magnetic film is processed to have a uniform track width. Ion milling is then performed to form the main magnetic pole having an inverted trapezoidal shape.
