Abstract: A control circuit of a semiconductor memory device performs a write operation on a memory cell transistor of the semiconductor memory device by performing a first pulse application operation of lowering a threshold voltage of the memory cell transistor, a precharge operation, and then a second pulse application operation. In the precharge operation, in a state in which first and second select transistors connected to the memory cell transistor are turned on, a bit line connected to the memory cell transistor is charged by applying a ground voltage to a word line connected to a gate of the memory cell transistor and applying a voltage higher than the ground voltage to a source line. In the second pulse application operation, in a state in which the first select transistor is turned on and the second select transistor is turned off, a program voltage is applied to the word line.

A heat sensing part (SP) of a temperature sensor (10) is provided at a heat sensing position in the vicinity of a leading end part (N) of the resin flow passage (11) in the nozzle part (1), the leading end part being the portion of the resin flow passage (11) where the inner diameter is smallest.

Abstract: A primary storage system is equipped with a local storage subsystem having a mirror volume of a volume in a primary storage subsystem, and a remote storage subsystem having a mirror volume of the volume in the primary storage subsystem at a secondary site. When storing a write data from a host to a volume, the primary storage subsystem determines an SEQ# to be stored in a journal corresponding to the write request, creates a journal including the relevant SEQ# and a replica of the write data, and transmits the relevant SEQ# to the local storage subsystem, which creates a journal including the relevant SEQ# and stores it in its own journal volume. But when creation of the journal including the relevant SEQ# is stopped, the local storage subsystem creates a dummy journal including the relevant SEQ# but not including the write data.

Abstract: A storage system forms a high availability pair for data duplication using a first volume of a first storage apparatus as a primary volume and a second volume of a second storage apparatus as a secondary volume. The first volume and a third volume of a third storage apparatus are used as a primary volume and a secondary volume, respectively, to form an asynchronous copy pair. The second volume and the third volume are used as a primary volume and a secondary volume, respectively, to form a standby pair. When a command to form the asynchronous copy pair is received, the storage system refuses to form the asynchronous copy pair when the standby pair is not formed yet.
