Abstract: A storage device includes a nonvolatile storage medium, a volatile memory, a plurality of nonvolatile memories, each of which has a lower access latency than the nonvolatile storage medium, and a controller circuitry. The controller circuitry is configured to store, temporarily in the volatile memory, write data to be written in the nonvolatile storage medium, and in response to an interruption of power supplied to the storage device from an external power source, select target nonvolatile memories to be accessed, from the plurality of nonvolatile memories, in an order determined based on a busy state of each of the plurality of nonvolatile memories, and save a different portion of the write data stored in the volatile memory into the selected target volatile memories, respectively.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a control method for improving the productivity of a screen printer for an electronics-mounting machine. Thus, a screen printer according to this invention uses a recognition camera to inspect the results of printing of a circuit board concurrently with a cleaning operation of the rear surface of a screen, thereby enabling the effective use of time. This screen printer also enables cream solder to be automatically supplied to reduce the operation time by determining whether the next screen to be used is unused. During automatic screen replacement, this screen printer enables a desired screen stored in the corresponding stocker to be automatically specified in order to replace the current screen in response to a selected NC program.

Abstract: A word block searching method searches for a specific designated word block (a one-sentence word block). Instead of designating it by a cursor operation from the head position to the tail position of the word block, portions of the head and tail portions are designated. A word block searcher of the invention has a CPU for performing head and tail portion searching of word block data in a document memory based on partial head and tail position designation. The CPU is also for reading out a word block defined by the found head and tail positions and displaying the readout word block.

Abstract: An input processing system inputs character string data including kanji characters and corresponding to phonetic data by entering phonetic data. An input device sequentially inputs phonetic data and sentence end data. A conversion section includes a conversion processor, a syntactic analyzer, and a priority order alterator. The conversion processor sequentially converts character string data in a predetermined conversion unit. If single phonetic data includes a plurality of conversion possibilities in the predetermined conversion unit, character string data is selected according to a predetermined priority order, thereby obtaining character string data (including kanji characters) corresponding to input phonetic data. The syntactic analyzer performs syntactic analysis of a sentence consisting of the character string data in response to sentence end data.
