Abstract: Disclosed is a device and method for controlling driving operations of a vehicle in a coasting situation. The device may include a vehicle speed detector, a coasting drivable range operator, and a controller. The vehicle speed detector detects a current vehicle speed when signals from an accelerator position sensor and a brake pedal position sensor are both zero (0). The coasting drivable range operator determines whether or not coasting is possible by receiving a current location of the vehicle, road conditions and location information, and information related to an inter-vehicle distance when the current vehicle speed is equal to or greater than a certain speed. The controller turns off a motor in response to determining that the coating is possible when an inter-vehicle distance between the vehicle and a preceding vehicle is equal to or greater than a predetermined distance.

Abstract: A method of controlling a non-volatile memory device includes comparing the number of banks that are in operating states with a threshold value. If the number of the banks is smaller than the threshold value, data stored in a standby bank is read. If there is no bank having data to be read, a standby bank is programmed. If the number of the banks is equal to or greater than the threshold value or if the reading or the programming is performed, it is determined whether there is a reading or programming command to be performed. If there is the reading or programming command to be performed, the process is repeated from the comparing step. The programming may include programming of a most significant bit (MSB) page or a least significant bit (LSB) page.
