Abstract: A construction of a fluid-filled vibration damping device provided with an air chamber for applying an air pressure capable of increasing the pressure of a fluid in a fluid chamber is realized advantageously in industry. An air chamber is formed between a cylindrical member and a bottom member forming a second mounting member, and a seal protrusion that is caused to fall easily to the inside of the air chamber is interposed between these elements. In the state in which the air chamber is formed, the cylindrical member and the bottom member are brought close to each other and lapped on each other, by which the volume of the air chamber is decreased by an amount corresponding to the approach amount of the elements and the volume amount of the seal protrusion entering into the air chamber due to falling, and thereby the internal pressure of the air chamber is increased.

Abstract: A DMA circuit operates a plurality of DMA channels in parallel, enabling reduction of the circuit scale and fewer development processes. A channel manager circuit reads in sequence the control information for each DMA channel from control memory, performs analysis, and according to the divided DMA control sequence, performs state processing (DMA control). Further, the channel manager circuit updates the control information, writes back the control information to the control memory, and executes time-division control of the plurality of DMA channels. Hence the circuit scale can be reduced, contributing to decreased costs, and the number of development processes can be reduced.

Abstract: To be able to transmit a response packet to a target, which is the original request source node, even if, after issuing a request from a node to another, a bus ID/a device ID is replaced in the PCI-Express switch before said another node makes a response to the request source node in a PCI-Express communication system, which uses a PCI-Express switch. For that purpose, a unique node ID for indicating each node is set to the nodes, a channel ID is set to each channel used for data transfer, and the node ID of the transfer destination module, the channel ID of a channel used for the data transfer, and the packet type indicating that the packet is a request or a response are set in an address field of a packet of data transfer. For the data transfer, only a memory write request packet routed by address routing is used.

Abstract: A DMA circuit prevents an erroneous data transfer by a descriptor due to an address failure of memory. When a descriptor is created, the data processing unit writes a pointer, for storing the descriptor, in a predetermined part of the descriptor, and stores the descriptor in memory, and when a DMA engine reads the descriptor from the memory, the DMA engine confirms whether the value is correct, and judges whether a DMA transfer of the data in the memory is possible. For both reading and writing of a descriptor, data corruption due to an address failure can be prevented.
