  • Patent number: 11784665
    Abstract: A memory system includes a non-volatile memory and a controller. The controller is configured to perform iterative correction on a plurality of frames of data read from the non-volatile memory. The iterative correction includes performing a first error correction on each of the frames including a first frame having errors not correctable by the first error correction, generating a syndrome on a set of second frames that include the first frame, performing a second error correction on the second frames using the syndrome, and performing a third error correction on the first frame. Each of the frames includes user data and first parity data used in the first error correction, the first parity data of the first frame also being used in the third error correction.

  • Patent number: 4359787
    Abstract: A lavatory seat cover for a closet is disclosed which includes back board of horseshoe or elliptical shape to fit the shape of the lavatory seat, a laminate of stacked lavatory seat cover sheets of the same shape as the back board to be secured onto the block board, adhesive tapes provided onto the bottom of the back board to secure the seat cover onto the lavatory seat, and edge nipping members of soft material provided at the peripheral edges of the back board and the laminate for securing the laminate to the back board. When a person uses the closet with the lavatory seat attached with the lavatory seat cover of the present invention thus constructed, he can sanitarily make always contact at the skin of his buttocks with the lavatory seat through new lavatory sheet by simply separating the old uppermost cover sheet of the stacked cover sheets of the laminate if the lavatory seat cover is placed and fixed in place onto the seat via the adhesive tapes.
