Abstract: A disk apparatus includes a DSP (Digital Signal Processor), and the DSP performs
a test writing and a test reading on a magneto-optical disk rotated in a ZCLV system to
obtain an optimal reproduction laser power value (reference reproduction laser power
value) "Pt" at a linear velocity of 30 Mbps in the ZCLV system. Next, by use of a
relational expression between a power coefficient and a linear velocity, a linear velocity
coefficient "αx" as an optimal reproduction laser power value at a desired linear velocity
(zone) "Vx" in a ZCAV system is obtained when the reference reproduction laser power
value is multiplied. Then, the optimal reproduction laser power value at the zone in the
ZCAV system is obtained by multiplying the reference reproduction laser power value
"Pt" by the linear velocity coefficient "αx".

Abstract: A bit line is connected, via a first pMOS transistor, to a first node whose potential is set at a prescribed negative voltage in advance. The gate voltage of the first pMOS transistor is set at a constant voltage that is slightly lower than its threshold voltage. During a read operation, a current that flows into the bit line from a memory cell in accordance with a residual dielectric polarization value of a ferroelectric capacitor always leaks to the first node, whereby the potential of the first node increases. The logical value of data stored in the memory cell is judged on the basis of a voltage increase at the first node. Since no control circuit for keeping the potential of the first node at the ground potential during a read operation is necessary, the layout size of a ferroelectric memory can be decreased. The power consumption of the ferroelectric memory can be reduced because such a control circuit is not necessary.

Abstract: A method and system to provide multiple connections to a device from separate physical networks through the same logical network layer while keeping connections persistent. In order to keep connections persistent and change physical networks, at least one additional connection is needed to seamlessly accomplish the 'hand-off'. If one or more signals from the network host to the device (35) are weak or degraded, then multiple connections can provide redundancy of data being sent from the host to the device reducing the amount of lost data. Multiple connections can be used to increase the amount of data that can be sent to the device at any given time. The system also contains various multiplex servers (49-42) that are assigned to one or more mobile devices, and acting as the device’s proxy in order to transfer data back and forth.
