A suspension coil spring includes a lower end turn portion, an upper end turn portion, and a helical effective portion formed between the end turn portions. The lower end turn portion includes a first portion which contacts a lower spring seat irrespective of a load, and a second portion which contacts the lower spring seat or is separated from the same according to the load. The wire diameter of the second portion is greater than that of the first portion and an average wire diameter of the effective portion. The upper end turn portion includes a third portion which contacts an upper spring seat, and a fourth portion. The wire diameter of the fourth portion is greater that of the third portion and the average wire diameter of the effective portion.

Suspension coil spring

A strut-type suspension includes a compression coil spring, a lower spring seat, an upper spring seat, and a shock absorber. The compression coil spring is disposed at a position offset to the outer side of a vehicle with respect to the shock absorber. The compression coil spring is mounted in a vehicle body in such a state that it is compressed between spring seats. The compression coil spring includes a large-diameter wire portion and a small-diameter wire portion. The large-diameter wire portion is provided in a vehicle inner-side portion of the compression coil spring. The small-diameter wire portion is provided in a vehicle outer-side portion. A wire diameter of the large-diameter wire portion is greater than a wire diameter of the small-diameter wire portion.

Strut-type suspension and compression coil spring for suspension

A knee-action-type suspension is provided with an arm member, a compression coil spring, and a shock absorber. The coil spring is extended and retracted between a full-rebound state and a full-bump state in accordance with the magnitude of a load applied to a vehicle body. A wire of the coil spring includes a large-diameter wire portion, a small-diameter wire portion, and a wire diameter varying portion. The large-diameter wire portion is provided in a first portion of the coil spring, which is on the side near to a pivot. The small-diameter wire portion is provided in a second portion of the coil spring, which is on the side far from the pivot. A wire diameter of the large-diameter wire portion is greater than a wire diameter of the small-diameter wire portion.

This invention provides a memory card device using an EEPROM as a semiconductor memory. When a data write-in defective area is detected in the storage area of the EEPROM, a space area is retrieved from the storage area of the EEPROM as a relieving area and data to be written into the data write-in defective area is written into the relieving area. Then, when the relieving area becomes full and a data write-in defective area is detected in the storage area of the EEPROM, another space area is retrieved from the storage area of the EEPROM as a new relieving area and data to be written into the data write-in defective area is written into the new relieving area.

EEPROM memory card device having defect relieving means

A memory card apparatus has an EEPROM as a semiconductor memory. Each time data is written in the EEPROM, link data representing a recording location of the data is written and managed in a link table. The link table has a flag region with a flag which is set when data write in the EEPROM is requested and is reset when the link data has completely been written in the link table. In case of card removal during operation or power failure, the flag set in the flag region of the link table is not reset and remains. Thus, by checking the flag area of the link table, the occurrence of card removal during operation or power failure can be detected, and various countermeasures can be conducted. Thus, the correspondency between the recorded contents in the EEPROM and the contents in the link table can be maintained as much as possible.

A memory card apparatus using EEPROMs as semiconductor memories. Externally input data are temporarily recorded in a buffer memory and are subsequently written in the EEPROMs. Verify processing is automatically performed between the buffer memory and the EEPROMs. Similarly, data read out from the EEPROMs are temporarily recorded in the buffer memory and are subsequently output to an external unit. Even with the EEPROMs, it seems that this memory card can be used in the same manner as a memory card using an SRAM, when viewed from the outside of the card.
