The present invention is directed to the provision of a storage apparatus using a recording area management method and an error recovery processing method suitable for processing moving picture data and the like, wherein empty areas are registered separately in an empty area list for high-speed processing and an empty area list for low-speed processing according the classification made based on the result of comparing the length of each empty area with a minimum area length, and in the event of an error occurrence, a remaining time available for error processing is estimated from the difference between the time required to execute accumulated record or read requests and a limit time, and an error processing method, from among a plurality of error processing methods requiring different lengths of time for processing, is selected and carried out according to the remaining time.

Recording area management method, error recovery processing method, and

An imaging apparatus comprising a counterfeiting prevention arrangement and reliably preventing counterfeit reproduction of currency, negotiable certificates, and other registered documents is provided by preventing modification or removal of the counterfeiting prevention arrangement. Modification or removal of the counterfeiting prevention arrangement is prevented in this imaging apparatus by integrating circuit elements or components of the counterfeiting prevention arrangement with circuit elements or components of the image processors of the imaging system in a single chip, or sealing these components in a single mold, effectively preventing modification or removal of the counterfeiting prevention arrangement without disabling the imaging system.

Imaging apparatus having a counterfeiting prevention function

A print head with elongate electrical conductors and a fixing member containing hexagonal boron nitride, the elongate electrical conductors being embedded in or laminated on the fixing member and exposed at the tips. Electric signals are applied between the conductors and a printing medium to print thereon images corresponding to the electric signals.
