Abstract: A digital recording and reproducing apparatus(1)
is configured to be capable of having a memory card(M)
mounted therein, for recording recording data in the
memory card(M) and reproducing a sound based on the
recording data recorded in the memory card M. An
identification data-generating block(4) generates ID
data DID for use in determining whether or not the
recording data was rewritten. An EEPROM 11 can record
the ID data DID. A control block(10) records the ID
data DID in the memory card M as part of the recording
data and at the same time records the ID data DID in
the EEPROM(11) such that the ID data DID is recorded in
FAT data Df concerning the recording data in a manner
correlated to a title of a file to be recorded therein.
When the control block(10) reads in the recording data
from the memory card M , if the ID data DID
corresponding to the title of the file in the FAT data
Df concerning the recording data read in from the
memory card M exists in the EEPROM(11), the control
block(10) compares the existing ID data DID and the ID
data DID recorded in the recording data read in with
each other, and carries out predetermined processing if
the compared ID data DID are different from each other.

Abstract: A Hot Plug system includes a PCI bus, an expansion
card, a slot for receiving the expansion card, and a Hot
Plug controller directly connected to the expansion card
and the slot, but only indirectly connected to the PCI bus.
An enhanced arbiter monitors and controls the PCI bus on
behalf of the Hot Plug controller, thereby allowing the Hot
Plug controller to be disconnected from the PCI bus and
reducing a critical load on the PCI bus. Because the Hot
Plug controller no longer needs to perform monitoring and
controlling functions on the PCI bus, the logic within the
Hot Plug controller can be significantly simplified.
However, the Hot Plug controller still maintains direct
control over the expansion slots and associated expansion
cards. In one embodiment, the enhanced arbiter with Hot
Plug capability is implemented with a bridge on a chipset.

Abstract: An improved flash EEPROM memory-based storage subsystem includes one or more flash memory arrays, each with three data registers and a controller circuit. During a flash program operation, one data register is used to control the program operation, a second register is used to hold the target data value, and a third register is used to load the next sector's data. Subsequent to a flash program operation, a sector's data are read from a flash array into the first data register and compared to the target data stored in the second register. When the data is verified good, the data from the third register is copied into the first and second registers for the next program operation. This creates an improved performance system that doesn't suffer data transfer latency during program operations that require data verification after the program operation is complete. Alternate embodiments perform the comparison using two register implementations and a single register implementations. The post-writer verification can be repeated and use different bias conditions for reading the data. The process can be automatic or executed by command that can specify the read conditions.

Abstract: A continuous rotation sampling scheme for use with a nuclear medicine gamma camera
facilitates collection of transmission and emission data leading to a reduced overall scan
time. The gantry contains a plurality of radiation detector heads  (20a-20c)  with planar faces
and at least one adjustably mounted radiation source  (30a).  During transmission data
collection, the gantry continuously rotates about a subject receiving aperture while the
radiation source  (30a)  continuously rasters back and forth across the field of view. The
detected transmission radiation  (32a)  is reconstructed into an attenuation volumetric image
representation by a transmission reconstruction processor. The transmission reconstruction
processor performs a fan beam reconstruction algorithm in each of a multiplicity of planes
perpendicular to an axis of rotation. An angular displacement versus radiation source
motion index is calculated in order to update the transmission reconstruction for a sampled
data line of transmission radiation. Such continuous rotation during transmission data
acquisition reduces overall scan time by eliminating the dead time during which the gantry
rotates and comes to rest at incremental angular orientations. The patient is injected with
a radioisotope which emits emission radiation. The emission radiation is also detected by
the detector heads  (20a-20c),  corrected with the reconstructed transmission radiation, and
reconstructed into a corrected emission radiation volumetric image.
