Abstract: A storage device determines whether or not reading target data subjected to a first conversion process is divided and stored into multiple pages. When the data subjected to the first conversion process is stored in one of a plurality of pages, the data is read from the page, and a second conversion process for returning the data to a state before the data is subjected to the first conversion process is executed to the data. When the reading target data is divided and stored into two or more of the plurality of pages, a portion of the data is read from each of the two or more pages in which the portion of the data is stored, the portion of the data is stored in the buffer memory, the data subjected to the first conversion process is restored, and the second conversion process is executed to the restored data.

Abstract: In a molding die, movable die elements are respectively received in die element receiving holes formed in a frame plate. An end surface of the frame plate, which faces a cavity at a location that is other than locations of the die element receiving holes, forms a frame portion compression surface. An end surface of each movable die element, which faces the cavity, forms a split compression surface. Die element drive devices respectively drive the split compression surfaces of the movable die elements. A whole compression plate commonly supports an opposite end part of the frame plate and opposite end parts of the movable die elements, which are opposite from the cavity. When the whole compression plate is moved forward, the whole compression plate integrally drives the frame plate and the movable die elements forward. A whole drive device drives the whole compression plate.

Abstract: In an injection process, molten resin is successively injected from a first flow channel and a second flow channel connected with each other in order into a cavity of a metal mold. High-temperature resin existing in the first flow channel is injected in advance into the cavity as a part of a single shot of molten resin to later form a skin layer of a molded article. other low temperature resin near a flowable limit existing in the second flow channel is subsequently injected into the cavity as another part of the single shot of molten resin to later form a core layer of the molded article. A low temperature resin remaining in the first flow channel when injection is completed is warmed to be a high-temperature resin before the next cycle, thereby allowing successive molding of molded articles.

Each node of the first node group is configured to send data blocks stored in storage devices managed by the node to other nodes belonging to the first node group. A first node is configured to receive data blocks from two or more other nodes in the first node group. The first node is configured to create a redundant code using a combination of data blocks received from the two or more other nodes and store the created redundant code to a storage device different from storage devices holding the data blocks used to create the redundant code. Combinations of data blocks used to create at least two redundant codes in redundant codes created by the first node are different in combination of logical addresses of constituent data blocks.

Abstract: A storage system is provided that has a plurality of flash packages and a storage controller that controls read/write processing between a host and the flash packages. When data identical to data written in a second address of a second flash package of the plurality of flash packages is written to a first address of a first flash package of the plurality of flash packages, the storage system may store the second address in the first package in association with the first address, and perform deduplication. When the first flash package stores the second address in association with the first address and a read request for the first address is received from the storage controller, the first flash package may return the second address to the storage controller. In response to receiving the second address, the storage controller may acquire target read data from the second flash package.
