  • Publication number: 20260189087
    Abstract: A rotor of a rotating electric machine includes a sleeve that covers an outer surface of a permanent magnet. The sleeve has a hoop layer. The hoop layer includes a previous annular portion formed relatively previously when the fiber bundle of fiber-reinforced resin is wound, and a subsequent annular portion formed subsequently to the previous annular portion and adjacent to the previous annular portion. The subsequent annular portion has an overlapping portion that overlaps the previous annular portion. A direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the fiber bundle is defined as a widthwise direction. The ratio of a dimension (second width) of the overlapping portion in the widthwise direction to a dimension (first width) of the fiber bundle in the widthwise direction is defined as the overlapping ratio. The overlapping ratio ranges from 20% to 85%.

    Abstract: A storage device includes a non-volatile memory, a controller that controls the non-volatile memory, a volatile memory, a power supply circuit that generates a power supply voltage using power supplied from an external power supply, and a capacitor. The controller determines after first data residing in the volatile memory has been stored into the non-volatile memory using the capacitor as a backup power supply in response to a power loss event, whether an amount of charge remaining in the capacitor is sufficient to store second data residing in the volatile memory into the non-volatile memory, and stores the second data residing in the volatile memory into the non-volatile memory if the amount of charge remaining in the capacitor is determined to be sufficient.

  • Publication number: 20260079639
    Abstract: According to the embodiment, two or more memory chips each include first storage areas. First memory chips among the two or more memory chips are connected to two or more channels. The memory controller executes a storage operation of storing first data on a group of second storage areas. Each of the second storage area is one of the first storage areas of each of the first memory chips. In the storage operation, the memory controller generates parity data corresponding to first data. The memory controller stores partial parity data that is part of the parity data in the second storage areas of each of the first memory chips. The memory controller stores both the partial parity data and partial first data that is part of the first data, in a second storage area of each of one or more second memory chips.
