20090040651DISC APPARATUS AND METHOD OF STORING SERVO INFORMATION ON DISC MEDIUM - According to an aspect of an embodiment, a disc apparatus includes a medium being capable of storing data and including a plurality of sets of servo information, each set of the servo information having identification information, a head for writing data into and reading data from the medium, an actuator for supporting the head and a controller for controlling the actuator in reference to selected one of the sets of the servo information on the basis of the associated identification information so as to move the head to a target position of the medium.02-12-2009
20090195910STORAGE DEVICE AND METHOD OF CONTROLLING SPINDLE MOTOR OF STORAGE DEVICE - In a storage device, before activating a spindle motor (SPM) or continuously from activation until the SPM is stabilized at a target number of rotations, a voltage and temperature monitoring unit monitors the temperature in a disk enclosure unit and the voltage to be applied to an SPM driver. A current-amount limiting value calculating unit calculates an optimum current-amount limiting value not exceeding a rated current of the SPM driver, and a motor controlling unit controls the SPM driver and changes the current to be applied to the SPM so that the current does not exceed this optimum current-amount limiting value.08-06-2009

20100171775TRANSFLECTIVE LIQUID CRYSTAL DISPLAY DEVICE - An IPS-mode transflective LCD device includes an array of pixels each including a reflective region and a transmissive region juxtaposed. The reflective region operates in a normally-white mode, and the transmissive region operates in a normally-black mode. A common data signal is supplied to the reflective region and transmissive region, whereas the common electrode signal in the transmissive region is an inverted signal of the common electrode signal in the reflective region, to thereby obtain similar gray-scale levels.07-08-2010

20090245522MEMORY DEVICE - A method of controlling a memory device connectable to a host for sending out a command to the memory device, has storing a plurality of first keys which are accessible by a plurality of passwords, respectively, encrypting a second key for encrypting and decrypting data to produce an encrypted second key by using one of the first keys, and storing the encrypted second key, decrypting the encrypted second key by using one of the first keys and encrypting or decrypting data by the second key upon receipt of a command from the host to encrypt or decrypt the data, and receiving, upon receipt of a command for renewing the second key from the host, a renewed second key, encrypting the renewed second key with one of the first keys, and storing the encrypted renewed second key.10-01-2009
20100125908STORAGE DEVICE, INFORMATION PROCESSOR, AND INFORMATION PROCESSING SYSTEM - According to one embodiment, a storage device includes a storing module, a determining module, and a releasing module. The storing module stores generated authentication information generated by a host connected to the storage device and set as authentication information for releasing access restriction to a storage module in the storage module. The determining module determines, when the storage device is turned on upon the host resuming from suspend mode and receives generated authentication information from the host in a state where access to the storage module is restricted, whether the generated authentication information matches the generated authentication information stored by the storing module in the storage module. The releasing module releases, when the determining module determines that the generated authentication information received from the host matches the generated authentication information stored by the storing module in the storage module, the access restriction to the storage module.05-20-2010
20100138670STORAGE APPARATUS AND DATA WRITING METHOD - According to one embodiment, a storage apparatus includes: a controller encrypting user data with a key, and writing the encrypted user data in a storage medium; and a key changing module changing the key. The storage medium includes a user data region and a key changing region. When the key is changed, the controller divides the user data written in the storage medium into a plurality of pieces, encrypts a piece of the user data adjacent to the key changing region with the changed key, writes the encrypted piece into the key changing region, sequentially shifts each of the pieces other than the piece of the user data adjacent to the key changing region by one logical block size in a direction toward the key changing region, and writes the shifted pieces.06-03-2010

20110314138METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR CAUSE ANALYSIS CONFIGURATION CHANGE - In a computer system that comprises multiple target computers and an analysis computer, one or more first target computers, in which a predetermined application has been installed and invoked, send a log comprising information of multiple configuration changes that have been made prior to invoking the predetermined application to the analysis computer, and the analysis computer receives the log and computes, for each type of configuration change and based on the log, an invocation failure rate which is a percentage at which the invocation of the predetermined application fails subsequent to the configuration change. Then, a second target computer receives, from the analysis computer, first information comprising an invocation failure rate for each type of configuration change related to the predetermined application, and based on the invocation failure rate, displays the type of configuration change that is the cause of the failure of the predetermined application invocation.12-22-2011
