  • Patent number: 11981100
    Abstract: A tire vulcanization system is configured to deliver a vulcanized tire carried out from a vulcanizer by a tire conveyance device to a PCI device at a first position, and attaches an upper lid. The PCI device mounted with the upper lid is moved from the first position to a second position by a PCI moving portion. The tire conveyance device is configured to receive the raw tire disposed above the PCI device moved to the second position and carry the raw tire into the vulcanizer.

  • Patent number: 9684459
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, there is provided a memory system including a nonvolatile memory, a host interface, and a controller. The host interface is configured to receive a first read command including a logical address to access the nonvolatile memory from a host system. The controller is configured to, when a size of read data requested in the first read command matches a predetermined data size, execute a process according to a second read command including a logical address sequential to the logical address included in the first read command before the host interface receives the second read command.

  • Patent number: 8130570
    Abstract: A data transfer circuit includes: an asynchronous memory to which transfer data is written from a first clock domain with a first clock and from which the written transfer data is read to a second clock domain with a second clock; a scan flip-flop whose input terminal is connected to a first position located on a data path, of the transfer data, from the asynchronous memory to the second clock domain, and whose output terminal is connected to a second position located on a data path, of the transfer data, from the asynchronous memory to the first position; and a clock selector which selects a clock to drive the scan flip-flop from the first clock and the second clock.

  • Patent number: 7562267
    Abstract: In a first aspect, a first method is provided that includes the steps of (1) transmitting a first signal representative of a test operation from a test circuit to a memory via a first signal path; (2) transmitting a second signal, synchronized with the first signal, from the test circuit to the memory via a second signal path; and (3) initiating the test operation on the memory in response to the second signal arriving at the memory. Numerous other aspects are provided.
