  • Publication number: 20160103478
    Abstract: According to embodiments, a second control unit creates parity from information loaded into a volatile second memory. When shifting from a normal mode to a sleep mode, the second control unit stores the created parity and the information loaded in the second memory into a buffer of a non-volatile first memory, and issues a power supply shutdown request. A power supply circuit shuts down power supply to the second memory and the second control unit in response to the issued power supply shutdown request.

  • Patent number: 9183143
    Abstract: According to the embodiments, a memory device includes a memory to which data is written using memory cells as a write unit and a controller which controls the memory. In response to a request to write data with a logical address to the memory from a host device, the controller requests the host device to transmit a segment of the write data with a size specified by the controller. The controller writes the write data with additional data to the memory. The write-data segment has a size determined to allow the combined size of the write-data segment and corresponding additional data to be the largest while smaller than the size of the write unit or has a multiple integral of the size.

  • Patent number: 8909854
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, a memory device includes a nonvolatile memory which stores data in units of a write unit includes cells, and a controller which controls the memory and partitions memory space of the memory. In response to a request to write write-data to the memory from a host, the controller requests the host to transmit a segment of the write-data with a specified size. The write-data segment has a size of an integral multiple of a size determined to allow for a set of the write-data segment and corresponding additional data to be the largest while smaller than the write unit. Before completion of processing a first command which requests access to a first partition, the controller accepts a second command which requests access to a second partition.

  • Publication number: 20140151926
    Abstract: A laminated rotor core (36) wherein permanent magnets (47) are inserted in respective magnet insertion holes (46) is disposed between and pressed by an upper die (37) and a lower die (29). The upper die (37) has resin reservoir pots (50) provided above the laminated rotor core (36) and at positions corresponding to the respective magnet insertion holes (46). Raw resin material put in the resin reservoir pots (50) is heated by the upper die (37). Subsequently, the resin material in a liquefied state is ejected from the resin reservoir pots (50) by plungers (52) that are inserted and moves vertically in the resin reservoir pots (50) and is directly filled in the magnet insertion holes (46). Consequently, the respective magnet insertion holes (46) are filled with the resin material more evenly and highly reliable products can be supplied at low cost.
