A file control device is adapted to be connected between at least one host apparatus and a plurality of memory devices, and includes at least one channel adapter connected to the host apparatus for transferring data to and from the host apparatus and a plurality of device adapters connected to the memory devices for transferring data to and from the memory devices. A plurality of resource management modules is also included for controlling the channel adapter, the device adapter and the memory devices. A common memory stores management data for controlling the memory devices and a resource sharing program designates the management of the memory devices between the resource management modules. Also, an area determining program determines the areas in the common area in which to store the management data of the memory devices in accordance with the management designation of the resource sharing program.

File control device

A disk controlling apparatus creates sense data indicating the contents of an error and writes it into an intermediate buffer provided within the disk controlling apparatus together with the record normally read when a key portion or a data portion constituting a record is not normally read. The disk controlling apparatus searches the intermediate buffer for desired record, reads and informs an error while taking the sense data into consideration for each record. The disk controlling apparatus stores a write address in a memory at the time of writing data, and when data are normally written the write address is eliminated from the memory, while holding the address when data are not normally written. At the time of reading data, if the address which agrees with the read address is stored in the memory, the disk controlling apparatus reports an error to a host apparatus. The disk controlling apparatus further calculates the busy ratio indicating the rate at which each channel adapters is used for I/O processing, and data is transmitted and received to and from the host apparatus through the channel adapter which has the lowest busy ratio.

Herein is disclosed a cosmetic or an external preparation containing, as an oleo-phase component, an oil-soluble N-long chained acyl acidic amino acid mono- or di-ester having at least one sterol ester in the molecule, which is a novel compound of excellent emulsifying and hydrating performances.

Cosmetic and an external preparation containing an oil-soluble n-long

Herein are disclosed (1) an oil-soluble N-long chained acyl acidic amino acid mono- or di-ester having at least one sterol ester in the molecule, which is a novel compound of excellent emulsifying and hydrating performances, (2) an oily composition consisting of or comprising a mixture of such esters, and (3) perfuming cosmetics blended with such ester or such oily composition.

Oil-soluble N-long chained acyl acidic amino acid ester, mixture thereof

Emulsifier compositions capable of forming an emulsion which is stable over a wide range of temperatures and contains at least one of a N.sup..alpha. -long-chain acyl arginine higher alkyl ester of the general formula (I) or an acid-addition salt thereof: ##STR1## wherein R.sup.1 CO is a straight-chain C.sub.8-22 acyl group; and R.sup.2 is a straight-chain or branched C.sub.12-22 alkyl group, are disclosed.
