Abstract: A memory system includes a volatile memory, a nonvolatile memory, and a controller. The controller is configured to execute a non-volatilization process to store data in the volatile memory into the nonvolatile memory in response to an initiate request received by the controller if no cancellation request is received by the controller during a cancelable period that begins upon receipt of the initiate request by the controller, and to transmit a completion notification when the non-volatilization process has completed.

Abstract: A magneto-resistance effect magnetic head having a uniform bias distribution and adapted for avoiding shorting between a magneto-resistance device and a bias conductor wherein a magneto-resistance device 5 and a bias conductor 6 for applying a bias magnetic field to the magneto-resistance device 5 are interposed between a lower shielding magnetic member 1 and an upper shielding magnetic member 2. The bias conductor is embedded in a groove formed in the shielding magnetic member provided on the opposite side of forward and rear electrodes with respect to the magneto-resistance effect device.
