Publication number: 20250224794Abstract: A recording medium in the present disclosure is a recording medium connected to a host device, and includes a memory, a control unit that controls the memory, and an interface unit that communicates with the host device. The interface unit transmits setting information including a rising temperature which is a temperature difference between a surface and an inside of the recording medium, and receives a threshold temperature of thermal throttling from the host device, and the control unit controls an operation based on the threshold temperature.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 27, 2025Publication date: July 10, 2025Inventors: Yoshihisa INAGAKI, Tadashi ONO, Isao KATO

Patent number: 12117887Abstract: When a host-slave system including a host device and a slave device transitions to a power-down mode, the host device drives a CMD line in order of a high level, a low level, and a high level, and stops supplying a clock signal after a predetermined time elapses. During a power-down mode period, the slave device stops supplying a power to a back-end module. When the host device resumes the supply of the clock signal, the host-slave system returns from the power-down mode.Type: GrantFiled: March 17, 2023Date of Patent: October 15, 2024Assignee: PANASONIC INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY MANAGEMENT CO., LTD.Inventors: Tadashi Ono, Yoshihisa Inagaki

Patent number: 11055499Abstract: A card device according to an aspect of the present disclosure includes: a first interface that connects the card device with a host device. The card device notifies, through the first interface, the host device of whether or not the card device includes a second interface different from the first interface.Type: GrantFiled: January 9, 2020Date of Patent: July 6, 2021Assignee: PANASONIC INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY MANAGEMENT CO., LTD.Inventors: Yoshihisa Inagaki, Tadashi Ono, Isao Kato

Patent number: 7849382Abstract: An address at which a writing error occurs is held, and after a completion of a series of writings, the data of the held address is read. Then, a faulty-block processing is performed only for the addresses, for which it is determined that retry of writing is required, thereby preventing an increase of faulty-blocks. This can suppress the problem that when a writing is performed in a particular flash memory, a writing error frequently occurs and a large number of faulty blocks occur.Type: GrantFiled: May 12, 2005Date of Patent: December 7, 2010Assignee: Panasonic CorporationInventors: Tetsushi Kasahara, Tomoaki Izumi, Masahiro Nakanishi, Kazuaki Tamura, Kiminori Matsuno, Yoshihisa Inagaki, Manabu Inoue

Patent number: 7403139Abstract: An electronic apparatus reads a digital data stream including a video signal and/or an audio signal outputted from an external apparatus according to a transmission clock different from a clock for the data stream, and outputs the video signal and/or audio signal without causing any discontinuity. The electronic apparatus includes a sample rate converter that rate-converts a predetermined volume of the audio signal in synchronization with a constant sampling clock, and changes a number of samples to be outputted, based on a data volume of an audio signal outputted by the electronic apparatus and a data volume of an audio signal transmitted from the external apparatus or transmittable from the external apparatus to the electronic apparatus.Type: GrantFiled: September 17, 2004Date of Patent: July 22, 2008Assignee: Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Ltd.Inventors: Shuhei Sasakura, Tatsuya Adachi, Isao Kato, Kazuya Iwata, Naoki Ejima, Seiji Nakamura, Yoshihisa Inagaki

Patent number: 7107389Abstract: A source block (B0) and the logical page number (“8”) of a write target page are identified from the logical address of the write target page. Data objects (DN8, DN9, . . . , DN12) to be written, which a host stores in a page buffer (2), are written into the data areas (DA) of the pages (Q0, Q1, . . . , Q4) of a destination block (Bn), starting from the top page (Q0) in sequence. The logical page number (“8”) of the write target page is written into the redundant area (RA) of the top page (Q0). The physical page number (“6=8?2”) of the write target page is identified, based on the logical page number (“8”) of the write target page and the page offset (“2”) of the source block (B0). When notified by the host of the end of the sending of the data objects (DN8, . . . , DN12), the data items (D13, . . . , D31, D0, D1, . . . , D7) in the source block (B0) are transferred to the pages (Q5, Q6, . . .Type: GrantFiled: August 25, 2003Date of Patent: September 12, 2006Assignee: Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Ltd.Inventors: Yoshihisa Inagaki, Toshiyuki Honda
