Abstract: A processor includes a CPU core which executes a user program, and a data transfer apparatus. The CPU core stores a transfer request from a user program in a specific area of a main memory, in which the transfer request specifies the virtual addresses of a transfer source and a transfer destination in a memory space allocated to the user program. The data transfer apparatus refers to the specific area of the main memory and acquires a transfer request asynchronously to processing performed by the CPU core. The data transfer apparatus then identifies physical addresses corresponding to virtual addresses specified in the transfer request. After that, the data transfer apparatus transcribes original data stored in a storage area indicated by the physical address of the transfer source, to a storage area in a cache memory related to the virtual address or physical address of the transfer destination.

Abstract: A scroll-type compressor, while adopting an Oldham mechanism as a rotation prevention mechanism, lubricates an Oldham ring by retaining a medium mixed with oil on a back surface of an orbiting scroll and maintains a compression mechanism in a compact shape. The Oldham ring is provided between the orbiting scroll and a block which supports a drive shaft. An annular thrust race which receives a load in the axial direction from the orbiting scroll is sandwiched between a fixed scroll and the block. An end surface of the circumference of the orbiting scroll is brought into contact with the race, and the race is brought into contact with an end surface of the block to an area outside a pair of key groove portions formed on the block in the radial direction. A retention space, defined by the orbiting scroll, the race, and the block, retains the medium.

Abstract: A driver core determines whether or not an operation to change print settings in a print setting screen is performed by the user. If a changing operation is not performed, the process is skipped. On the other hand, if a changing operation is performed on an item of print settings through input using a mouse, a keyboard, or the like, the driver core obtains print setting information before the changing operation. Then, history data is created. Then, if it is determined that no identical history data exists, the history data is saved.
