A memory control device according to an example of the invention comprises an allocation section allocating a plurality of memory regions of a memory module, an available space storage section storing data in available space of a first memory region that is one of the plurality of memory regions and, when no more space becomes available in the first memory region, store data in available space of a following second memory region, and a copying section copying a plurality of items of to-be-copied data that is stored in the first memory region but not in the second memory region to the second memory region after no more space becomes available in the first memory region in such a manner that a copying operation is divided into a plurality of times.

Device and method for memory control and storage device

According to one embodiment, a memory system includes a first memory chip includes a first temporary memory and a first block, a second memory chip includes a second temporary memory and a second block, and a memory controller that controls writing of logical pages to the first and second memory chips. The memory controller forms a second unit having the same page number as the first unit by the first temporary memory and the lowermost physical page in the first block, forms a third unit having the same page number as the first unit by the second temporary memory and the lowermost physical page in the second block, and writes the logical pages by an interleave operation in order of the second unit, the third unit, the first unit in the first block, and the first unit in the second block.

Memory system which writes data to multi-level flash memory by zigzag interleave operation

An independent suspension provided with a knuckle for rotatably supporting a wheel thereon and a sub-knuckle member pivotally supported on the knuckle, the knuckle connected to the leading terminal of a lower arm through a first ball joint and the basal terminal part of the lower arm is attached to an automobile body. The leading terminal of an upper arm is connected to the sub-knuckle member through a second ball joint and the basal terminal part of the upper arm is attached to the automobile body side. The leading terminal of a control link attached to the automobile body side is connected to the knuckle member through a third ball joint. The axis which passes the centers of the first ball joint and the second ball joint constitutes itself a steering axis. The center of the third ball joint is offset relative to the point of intersection between the horizontal plane passing the third ball joint and the steering axis. As a result, the knuckle members are allowed to produce a swinging motion around the second ball joint as the center to change the camber angle of the wheel while the automobile body is being steered.

Independent wheel suspension apparatus for vehicle

A bell crank is pivotally mounted on a suspension link. One end of the bell crank is connected with an essentially horizontal shock absorber while the other is connected with a pull rod. As the road wheel undergoes vertical displacement the bell crank rotates while also undergoing vertical displacement along with the link it is mounted on. The lever ratio established between the shock absorber and the link thus changes.
