  • Patent number: 10878898
    Abstract: A memory system includes a first memory, a second memory, and a first circuit. The first memory includes a memory cell array including memory cell transistors, and a peripheral circuit configured to read data of a plurality of bits stored in a memory cell transistor of the memory cell array based on a comparison between threshold voltages of the memory cell transistor and at least a part of n determination voltages (n?3). The first circuit is configured to calculate an estimated value of each of n?m determination voltages based on values of m determination voltages (2?m?n?1) among the n determination voltages, and calculate a difference between a value of each of the n?m determination voltages and a corresponding estimated value. The second memory is configured to store values of the m determination voltages and the difference for each of the n?m determination voltages.

  • Patent number: 7715777
    Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes an image carrier; a charger that electrically charges the image carrier; an image forming section that forms an electrostatic latent image on the image carrier and develops the electrostatic latent image; a transferring-fixing section that transfers the image from the image carrier and fix the image onto a recording medium; a cleaning member; and a cleaning member moving section. The cleaning member cleans an unnecessary substance adhering onto a surface of the image carrier by abutting against the surface of the image carrier, and is capable of moving between an abutment position and a separation position where the cleaning member is separated from the image carrier. The cleaning member moving section moves the cleaning member from the separation position to the abutment position in accordance with a surface resistance of the surface of the image carrier.
