Determining the accessibility of a portable storage device using format and access right information
Patent number: 7447835Abstract: There is provided a portable storage device which makes it possible to largely reduce time that is taken to remove the storage cartridge that is inserted and cannot be handled. A removable hard disk cartridge contains a hard disk and a control circuit for control of writing and reading of data in and from the hard disk in a casing thereof. A main unit includes an automatic loading/ejecting mechanism that receives the hard disk cartridge into a predetermined inner position within the main unit and ejects the same out from the position, and a microprocessor that controls storage operation for storing data in the hard disk cartridge. Before the automatic loading/ejecting mechanism performs a receiving operation, it is determined whether access to contents recorded on the hard disk can be gained, and when the access cannot be gained, the receiving operation by the automatic loading/ejecting mechanism is inhibited.Type: GrantFiled: July 27, 2006Date of Patent: November 4, 2008Assignee: Canon Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Masato Fujiwara, Masumi Ishiwatari, Takeyuki Higashibata, Tadashi Takayama, Noriyuki Suzuki, Hiroyasu Ito, Makoto Kobayashi, Mamoru Yoshimoto -

Patent number: 6239005Abstract: In a method of forming a single crystal semiconductor directly on a metal layer, a metal layer is epitaxially grown on a surface an electrically insulating substrate having a single crystal structure, and a single crystal semiconductor layer is epitaxially grown on the metal layer. Particularly, on a c-face of a sapphire substrate, a platinum layer is epitaxially grown in a crystal orientation of (111) by sputtering, while the sapphire substrate is heat at about 400-700° C. After annealing at 600-900° C., a buffer layer made of gallium nitride is epitaxially grown on the platinum layer with a thickness of 500-2000 Å by MOVPE, while the sapphire substrate is heated at about 600° C. Finally, a single crystal gallium nitride layer is epitaxially grown on the buffer layer by MOVPE, while the sapphire substrate is heated at about 1000° C.Type: GrantFiled: March 24, 1999Date of Patent: May 29, 2001Assignee: Shizuoka UniversityInventors: Masatomo Sumiya, Mamoru Yoshimoto, Shunro Fuke
