Publication number: 20240363166Abstract: A controller controls a memory including first and second strings. The first and second strings configure first and second string groups, respectively. In each string group, a set of memory cell transistors each from each string configures a unit. The controller is configured to: sequentially write, in the first string group, data in first units to which serially-coupled memory cell transistors respectively belong; sequentially write, in the second string group, data in first units to which serially-coupled memory cell transistors respectively belong; and sequentially write, in the first string group, data in second units to which serially-coupled memory cell transistors respectively belong.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 8, 2024Publication date: October 31, 2024Applicant: Kioxia CorporationInventors: Hiroshi SUKEGAWA, Ikuo MAGAKI, Tokumasa HARA, Shirou FUJITA

Patent number: 12103793Abstract: An unloading apparatus comprises a sensor interface, a gripping unit interface and a processor. A sensor interface acquires a photographed image from a sensor that photographs an image of a cargo group. A processor transmits, in a case of successfully recognizing each piece of cargo of a same-type cargo group, a first control signal to the gripping unit to perform unloading according to a first gripping method corresponding to the same-type cargo group, and transmits, in a case of failing to recognize each piece of cargo of the same-type cargo group, a second control signal to the gripping unit to perform unloading according to a second gripping method corresponding to a mixed-type cargo group including different types of cargo.Type: GrantFiled: May 19, 2021Date of Patent: October 1, 2024Assignees: KABUSHIKI KAISHA TOSHIBA, Toshiba Infrastructure Systems & Solutions CorporationInventors: Kazuhiro Mori, Hiroshi Sukegawa

Patent number: 11972802Abstract: A communication line is connected to first and second chips, and held at a first signal level. A monitor circuit changes a signal level of the communication line from the first signal to a second signal level while one of the first and second chips uses a current larger than a reference current. When the signal level of the communication line is the second signal level, the other of the first and second chips is controlled to a wait state that does not transfer to an operating state of using a current larger than the reference current.Type: GrantFiled: September 29, 2022Date of Patent: April 30, 2024Assignee: Kioxia CorporationInventors: Noboru Shibata, Hiroshi Sukegawa
