Abstract: The invention provides a rubber-modified copolymer resin which is excellent in transparency, impact resistance and rigidity and which has little dependency of the transparency on molding conditions, and a rubber-modified copolymer resin composition which has the above characteristics and which has high practical strength. A transparent rubber-modified copolymer resin which is a rubber-modified copolymer resin obtained by copolymerizing a styrenic monomer and a (meth)acrylic ester monomer in the presence of a rubbery polymer, and which is characterized in that the volume mean particle diameter of rubber particles dispersed in the resin, is from 0.4 to 2.0 ?m, and in the cumulative rubber particle size distribution curve by volume, the difference between the diameter at an integrated value of 75% and the diameter at an integrated value of 25%, is from 0.2 to 2.0 ?m; and a rubber-modified copolymer resin composition comprising from 60 to 99.

Abstract: A memory system in which access to faulty memory blocks is prevented. A test is carried out to see if there are enough functional memory blocks to store a given amount of information. If not, an address mode signal is generated that interchanges the row/column accesses for a given multi-bit address word, such that a line fault is isolated to only one memory block. This reconfigures the system to maximize available memory space without adding excessive access delays.
