Abstract: An image forming apparatus connected to a host using a USB and a method of controlling a storage medium included in the same are provided. A control signal with respect to the storage unit from a USB host is received, and the storage unit is controlled in response to the control signal by outputting the control signal to the storage unit through a USB hub connected to the storage unit using a device class, such as Mass Storage Class (MSC). Accordingly, when a storage medium, such as a hard disk drive (HDD), included in an image forming apparatus is controlled, decrease of system performance due to storage medium control by a main processor can be reduced by allowing not only the main processor but also a USB host to directly control the storage medium using a USB hub and device class such as Mass Storage Class.

Abstract: Computer-implemented method for improving cognition and memory in an aging adult, utilizing a computing device to present stimuli to the adult, and to record responses from the adult. A psychophysical threshold for an aging adult with respect to stimuli in a cognitive development exercise is determined using a maximum likelihood procedure, such as QUEST (quick estimation by sequential testing) or ZEST (zippy estimation by sequential testing). The threshold is a stimulus intensity value associated with a specified performance level of the adult. A plurality of trials in the exercise are then performed with stimuli at or near the determined threshold to improve the adult's cognition and memory skills. This threshold determination and exercise performance may be repeated in an iterative manner to further improve the adult's cognition and memory skills.

Abstract: A substrate to be processed by a patterning device has a group of a plurality of alignment marks formed within a predetermined area as an alignment area, each of the plurality of alignment marks being an information recording code that records its own location relative to a reference position on the substrate. In alignment of the substrate, an image of such an alignment area that includes a group of the plurality of alignment marks is captured. Thus, even if the area of image capturing is reduced with increasing image magnification, at least one of the plurality of alignment marks can be included in the image. One of the alignment marks whose images are included in this image is defined as a target mark, and the position of the substrate is derived based on the target mark in the image. Thus, the position of the substrate can be detected by a single image capturing operation.
