Abstract: A portable electronic device includes a log-structured file system implemented in flash
memory. The log-structured file system includes a write function for storing contiguous data records
to the flash memory in the form of at least one data log, although the system may write data records
to the flash memory using a plurality of data logs. The log-structured file system also includes a read
function for retrieving data records from the one or more logs using a plurality of memory mapped
pointers, which may be stored in an associated RAM index; or which may be implemented as an index
stored in the flash memory. A clean-log function is also provided for eliminating inactive records
from the log so that new data can be appended to the end of the log. The various functions
associated with the log-structured file system are implemented as at least three software modules, a
read module, a write module and a clean-log module, although other configurations are possible. The
portable electronic device may include a two-way RF transceiver for sending and receiving data from
the device, and may also include a plurality of application programs that are configured to interact
with the log-structured file system, as well as other software modules for controlling the operation

Abstract: A video signal processing apparatus processes an input
video signal for displaying an image based on the video signal.
Detected is a gradation level of the input video signal. A color
saturation level of the input video signal is depressed in a
predetermined color saturation level range only when the detected
gradation level is located in a predetermined gradation level
range. A first input video signal having a first gradation level
(or number of bits) is converted into a second video signal having
a second gradation level (or number of bits) that is lower (or
smaller) than first gradation level (or number of bits), for
displaying an image based on the input video signal. Error data
is generated in response to a data portion of the first input
video signal. The data portion corresponds to a difference
between the first and the second gradation levels (or number of
bits). The error data is obtained by multiplying the data portion
by predetermined error diffusion coefficients according to pixel
dots that surround a pixel dot composed of R(red)-, G(green)-
and B(blue)-signal components of the first input video signal.
At least one of the number of bits of the error diffusion
coefficients for one of the R-, G- and B-signal components is
different from the other number of bits of the error diffusion
coefficients for the other signal components The generated error
data is added to the first input video signal to convert the first
input video signal into the second video signal. Reverse-gamma
correction may be applied to the first input video signal before
conversion.

Abstract: The invention relates to head-landing of a magnetic head onto a disc-shaped recording
medium. The invention aims at realizing such a disc drive apparatus with a simplified structure
via further contraction of size, and yet, the invention also aims at realizing so-called soft-landing of
the magnetic head onto the recording medium. To achieve the objects, the invention provides a
disc drive apparatus comprising: a magnetic head which executes recording or reproduction of
signal against a flexible magnetic disc and a head arm which holds the magnetic head at its tip
portion and freely shifts itself in the diametric direction of the flexible magnetic disc via drive force
of a linear motor. More particularly, the disc drive apparatus incorporates such a mechanism
comprising: an overhung arm member projecting itself in the lateral direction of the disc drive
apparatus, which is formed at the tip portion of the head arm; a lifter member which acts on locus
of the overhung arm member when the head arm is shifted by the linear motor; and an inclined
plane secured to the lifting member, which enables the magnetic head to realize soft-landing onto
the flexible magnetic disc. Based on this mechanism, while the magnetic head proceeds itself via
drive force of the linear motor, the overhung arm member slides itself over the inclined plane
downward to simultaneously enable the magnetic head to realize head landing, in other words,
soft-landing.
