having a specific wavelength. Disclosed further are methods for preparing such
locally crystallized glasses and molded objects comprising irradiating with laser light the substrate,
as well as methods for efficient detection of the crystallized region in such glasses or molded

Abstract: An electronic control unit (43) for controlling a clutch (14) which permits/interrupts
power transmission from a power plant (11) starts engagement of the clutch (14) when a
rotational speed of the power plant (11) becomes equal to or higher than a reference engine
speed during a vehicle start. When an accelerator operation amount detected by an
accelerator opening sensor (36) or a degree of a change in the accelerator operation amount
during the vehicle start is equal to or larger than a predetermined value, the reference
engine speed is made higher than the reference engine speed when the accelerator
operation amount detected by the accelerator opening sensor (36) or the degree of change
in the accelerator operation amount is smaller the predetermined value. Thus,
engagement of the clutch (14) can be started at a rotational speed of the power plant (11),
corresponding to the vehicle start when a load placed on the vehicle is high. According to
such a control apparatus for an automatic clutch mechanism, it is possible to start the
vehicle smoothly with a simple operation even when the load placed on the vehicle is high.

Abstract: A non-volatile memory is divided into logical zones by the card controller in order reduce the size of the data structures it uses for address translation. Zone boundaries are adjusted to accommodate defects allowed by memory test to improve card yields and to adjust boundaries in the field to extend the usable lifetime of the card. Firmware scans for the presence of defective blocks on the card. Once the locations of these blocks are known, the firmware calculates the zone boundaries in such a way that good blocks are equally distributed among the zones. Since the number of good blocks meets the card test criteria by the memory test criteria, defects will reduce card yield fallout. The controller can perform dynamic boundary adjustments. When defects occur, the controller can perform the analysis again and, if needed, redistributes the zone boundaries, moving any user data.
