A recording apparatus includes a recording unit configured to record an image on a recording medium, a discharge unit, a tray, and a side portion. The discharge unit discharges the recording medium in a discharge direction. The recording medium discharged by the discharge unit is stacked on the tray. The side portion regulates the recording medium stacked on the tray in a direction intersecting the discharge direction. The side portion is provided with an exhaust vent hole including an inclined portion for upwardly exhausting air from an inside of the recording apparatus to an outside of the recording apparatus.

An overlaid erase block (EB) mapping scheme for a flash memory provides efficient wear-leveling and reduces mount operation latency. The overlaid EB mapping scheme maps a first type of EB onto one of a plurality of physical erase blocks, in a corresponding portion of the flash memory. The first type of EB includes a plurality of pointers. The overlaid EB mapping scheme also maps each of second and third types of EBs onto one of the physical EBs that is not mapped to the first type of EB. The second type of EBs store system management information and the third type of EBs store user data. When the flash memory is started up, the overlaid EB mapping scheme scans the corresponding portion to locate the first type of EB, locates the system EBs using the pointers, and locates the data EBs using the system management information.

Block mapping systems and methods for storage device

An automatic riveting device is provided with a rivet suction attachment unit for attaching the head of a rivet by suction, a tightening unit for tightening a stringer and clip by the rivet, and a control unit. The control unit controls the rivet suction attachment unit so that the rivet suction attachment unit to which the head of the rivet is attached is moved toward an upper side support body and the shaft part of the rivet is inserted into a through hole formed in riveting position P, and controls the tightening nit so that after the rivet suction attachment unit inserts the rivet into the through hole and retreats from the riveting position P, an upper anvil and a lower anvil are brought into proximity and the stringer and clip are tightened by the rivet.
