Abstract: According to one embodiment, a memory system receives from a host a first write request including a first block identifier designating a first write destination block to which first write data is to be written. The memory system acquires the first write data from a write buffer temporarily holding write data corresponding to each of the write requests, and writes the first write data to a write destination page in the first write destination block. The memory system releases a region in the write buffer, storing data which is made readable from the first write destination block by writing the first write data to the write destination page. The data made readable is a data of a page in the first write destination block preceding the write destination page.

Abstract: A controller manages a plurality of block groups each including one or more blocks among a plurality of blocks provided in a non-volatile memory. The controller assigns one of the plurality of block groups to each of plurality of zones. The controller writes write data which is to be written to a first zone to a shared write buffer and writes write data which is to be written to a second zone to the shared write buffer. When a total size of the write data in the first zone stored in the shared write buffer reaches a capacity of the first zone, the controller copies the write data in the first zone stored in the shared write buffer to the first block group assigned to the first zone.

Abstract: Provided are an information processing apparatus, an information processing method, and a video sound output system that execute an output process of an acoustic signal in synchronization with a video signal. The information processing apparatus includes a control section that detects a position of a sound source appearing in a video displayed on a screen of a display unit and that uses one or more vibrators to vibrate the display unit and thereby control output of sound such that a sound image of sound in synchronization with the video is localized at the position where the sound source appears on the screen displaying the video. In a case of displaying videos of two or more video sources on individual windows, the control section localizes a sound image of a sound source detected from the video of each video source at a position where the sound source appears in the corresponding window.

Abstract: A sheet laminator includes a fuser pressure member, a conveyor, and a guide. The fuser pressure member thermally fixes a two-ply sheet and a sheet medium inserted between two sheets of the two-ply sheet. The conveyor conveys the two-ply sheet toward the fuser pressure member in a sheet conveyance direction. The guide guides the two-ply sheet in a sheet conveyance passage between the conveyor and the fuser pressure member. At least one of the fuser pressure member or the conveyor is operable to guide the two-ply sheet outside the sheet conveyance passage in response to an occurrence of an abnormal stop of the sheet laminator.

Abstract: A controller determines whether alternating-current power, output from a bidirectional AC/DC converter, is greater than or equal to a predetermined value, and whether the voltage value of a capacitor, detected by a first voltage sensor, is greater than or equal to a threshold value. The controller stops controlling the bidirectional DC/DC converter when determining that the alternating-current power, output from the bidirectional AC/DC converter, is not greater than or equal to the predetermined value and that the voltage value of the capacitor is greater than or equal to the threshold value. The controller charges the capacitor by controlling the bidirectional DC/DC converter when determining that the alternating-current power, output from the bidirectional AC/DC converter, is not greater than or equal to the predetermined value and that the voltage value of the capacitor is less than the threshold value.
