  • Patent number: 10698617
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, a memory system includes: a non-volatile memory including a first area configured to hold first data received from an outside and a second area configured to hold second data; a volatile memory; and a controller. The non-volatile memory holds third data that associates a first address of the first data assigned to an instruction received from an outside with a second address of the first data that specifies a part of the first area. As a startup operation, the controller reads the third data from the non-volatile memory and holds the third data as fourth data in the volatile memory. The controller erases the fourth data from the volatile memory when the second data is held in the second area.

  • Patent number: 9170887
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, when being notified of an interruption of an external electric power supply, a second processor performs a saving operation for storing management information and data stored in a first volatile memory to a first non-volatile memory, and records a progress log, indicating a progress of the saving operation, into a second volatile memory. The first processor periodically checks whether the progress log is recorded in the second volatile memory or not, and when the progress log is recorded in the second volatile memory, the first processor stores the progress log into the second non-volatile memory.

  • Patent number: 8954813
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, two memory systems each including a memory and a controller are connected via a communication line. The controller includes a testing unit that performs a self-test process on the memory, a communication unit that communicates with the counterpart controller, and a status output unit. The communication unit performs a startup synchronization process which is performed before the self-test process and a termination synchronization process which is performed after the self-test process. The testing unit obtains a comprehensive test result from the test results of the two memory systems, and the status output unit of one memory system outputs the comprehensive test result.

  • Patent number: 8527733
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, a memory system includes a controller for controlling a data transfer between a nonvolatile memory and a host device. The controller writes, to the nonvolatile memory, management information to be used in the data transfer, a multiplexed pointer indicating a storage position, and a log indicating whether the writing of the pointer is successful, determines whether the multiplexing the pointer by the predetermined number is maintained according to at least one of the pointer and the log, and rewrites the multiplexed pointers to the nonvolatile memory when determining that the multiplexing the pointer by the predetermined number is not maintained.

  • Patent number: 4784899
    Abstract: There are provided an FRP molded article and a method for production thereof, which has the properties of uniformly reflecting and shielding electromagnetic waves. The molded article comprises a compression-molded laminated structure composed essentially of an electroconductive nonwoven fabric-resin composite surface layer (3), a woven fabric-resin composite intermediate layer (2) and a fiber material reinforced resin substrate layer (1), wherein the nonwoven fabric composite layer substantially contains no bubbles. The molded article can be produced by placing, on a mold, an electroconductive nonwoven fabric substantially containing no liquid resin material, a woven fabric or a prepreg thereof, and a mixture of a reinforcing fiber material and a liquid crosslink-curable resin composition; subjecting the molding materials to depressurization treatment in the mold; and then subjecting the molding materials to compression molding.
