Abstract: An ink cartridge (10) has a memory controller (15) that controls
a series of processing that involves rewriting data into a memory
(14). The memory (14) stores information regarding the ink cartridge
(10), for example, a residual quantity of ink in the ink cartridge
(10). A control unit (22) of a printer (20) gives the ink cartridge (10)
an instruction including a specified address to execute an operation
of rewriting the data in the memory (14) (either an operation of
erasing the existing data from the memory (14) or an operation of
writing data into the memory (14)). In response to the given
instruction, the memory controller (15) rewrites the data at the
specified address in the memory (14) and sends back a response signal
or an acknowledgement representing completion of the rewriting
operation, together with address-related information
corresponding to the specified address. The control unit (22)
receives the address-related information and verifies whether data
has been rewritten correctly at a right address. This arrangement
ensures a sufficiently high reliability in the operation of
rewriting data into the memory.

Abstract: Method of production of glass fabric that does not exhibit surface hairiness, that is sufficiently close-woven, with which printed circuits with a high degree or rigidity can be realized, as well at supply of a glass fabric, prepreg and print circuits. Glass fabric ( 40 ) woven from warp yarn ( 20 ) and weft yarn ( 30 ) containing multiple glass filaments; in relation to the warp yarn ( 20 ) and the weft yarn ( 30 ), at least one of the two has not undergone twisting and the profile of its glass filament has been flattened. Since between warp yarn ( 20 ) and weft yarn ( 30 ), at least one of the two has not undergone twisting, it is possible to limit the surface hairiness and at the same time to obtain that the fabrics arm separated and uniformly distributed during the weaving operation also without performing a specific treatment of uniform fibers redistribution. Moreover, since between warp yarn ( 20 ) and weft yarn ( 30 ), the filament F of at least one of the two has a flattened profile, the spacing between the filaments F is closer, the degree of distribution of the fibers of the glass fabric is higher and the rigidly of the printed circuit laminate is greater.
