With use of a simplified program or calculating device for motion compensation, a video decoding device decodes video data compressed by motion detection operations on macroblock units, as in the MPEG-4AVC standard. The video decoding device splits compressed data blocks of the prescribed size, 16×16 pixels for instance, to generate sub-blocks, which are smaller than the blocks and on which the video decoding device is able to execute motion compensation operations. The video decoding device duplicates a motion vector assigned to a given block to generate as many motion vectors as there are sub-blocks in the given block, and executes motion compensation on each sub-block using the corresponding duplicate motion vector. Data resulting from the motion compensation operation on each sub-block is combined to obtain a target block corresponding to the given block.

An integrated circuit has a sleep switch, provided between a first power line and a second power line, which is constituted by a transistor of a first threshold voltage, and which becomes non-conducting in a sleep mode, and further has a latch circuit, connected to the second power line, which is constituted by a transistor of a second threshold voltage which is lower than the first threshold voltage, and a ferroelectric capacitor for storing data held in the latch circuit in accordance with the polarization direction of a ferroelectric film thereof. The integrated circuit also comprises a control signal generating circuit which, when returning to an active mode from the sleep mode, generates a plate signal for driving a terminal of the ferroelectric capacitor to generate a voltage in the latch circuit in accordance with the polarization direction, and generates a sleep signal for causing the sleep switch to conduct to thereby activate the latch circuit following the driving of the ferroelectric capacitor.

A risk of data garbling due to cumulative impact of disturbances occurring in memory areas in which no rewrite occurs is to be prevented. A memory device has an erasable and writable nonvolatile memory and a control circuit, wherein the control circuit is enabled to perform processing at a prescribed timing to replace memory areas. The replacement processing is accomplished by writing stored data in a first memory area in which rewriting is relatively infrequent into an unused second memory area, and making the second memory area into which the writing has been done a used area in place of the first memory area. Since this replacement processing is intended to replace memory areas in which rewriting is infrequent with other memory areas as described above, it is possible to prevent the risk of data garbling due to the cumulative impact of disturbances occurring in memory areas in which no rewrite occurs.

The invention relates to a method for encoding MSR (Minimum-storage Regenerating) codes, which comprises the following steps of: acquiring n first data packets which are represented by S_i, i=1, 2, . . . , n; setting n storage nodes and a positive integer k, wherein n=2K; respectively adding a specified number of 0 bits on data heads or data tails of subsequent successive k first data packets by taking the next first data packet of the ith first data packet as a starting point, acquiring k second data packets, and acquiring an encoded data packet by computing the k second data packets; repeating the above steps and acquiring n encoded data packets which are represented by P_i, i=1, 2, . . . , n; and storing the ith first data packet and the encoded data packet acquired by taking the next first data packet of the first data packet as the starting point into the ith storage node.

Restoring a data processing system. Files on one or more storage devices of a data processing system are backed up to magnetic tape recording media. Metadata associated with the backed up files is recorded, including magnetic tape identification and tape location for each backed up file. Files on the one or more storage devices are identified that meet a selection policy for files required for rapid restoration of the data processing system. An index list is generated of the identified files and their associated magnetic tape metadata. The index list is sorted by magnetic tape identification and magnetic tape location. In response to a request to restore the data processing system, the identified files on the sorted index list are restored in magnetic tape identification and magnetic tape location sort order. Operation of the restored data processing system is then begun in accordance with the restored files.

A data processing apparatus for writing data to a recording medium having a predetermined file system configured therein includes the following elements: an insertion portion that removably holds the recording medium, the data processing apparatus writing data to the recording medium inserted in the insertion portion; an insertion/removal detector that detects that the recording medium is inserted in or removed from the insertion portion; a writing state storage unit that stores, when the insertion/removal detector detects removal of the recording medium, a data writing state upon removal of the recording medium; and a restoration/analysis determining unit that determines, when the insertion/removal detector detects insertion of the recording medium, whether it is necessary to perform analysis regarding restoration of the file system configured in the inserted recording medium on the basis of the state stored in the writing state storage unit.

A data transmission method adapted to a network system for interconnecting a server with a receiver terminal via the Internet, in which a plurality of frames f(1), f(2), . . . , and f(u) are extracted from streaming contents and are distributed to a plurality of packets p(1), p(2), . . . , and p(u) by interleaving, wherein a plurality of data included in the frame f(u) represented by a matrix of m×n are distributed to a plurality of packets p(u) to p(k+u−1) (where ‘u’ and ‘k’ designate integers), whereby any one of the packets includes first data of each frame, so that it is possible to start reproducing the streaming contents after completely receiving last data of each frame without discarding packets. This noticeably reduces a time lag between the reception start timing and the reproduction start timing.

A signal processing device includes a system of system of circuit processing in essence while avoiding large sized device under restoring fluctuated signals such as deterioration and the like. The signal processing unit includes a processing unit that restores one of a signal before fluctuation, a signal which should have been intrinsically obtained, and signal data which is approximated from these signals from an initial signal which has fluctuated like deterioration. A fluctuated data region storing fluctuated data and a restored data region storing signal data (restored data) restored every restoring process are installed. The processing unit repeats the following processes in order to produce data formed in the restored data region at the completion of processing as original signal data. The processing unit transfers energy of the fluctuated data from the fluctuated data region to the restored data region using fluctuation-factor information data, which is a fluctuation factor, and produces restored data; and substitutes residual data in the fluctuated data region remained through the data transfer for the fluctuated data.

A semiconductor system includes a semiconductor memory device suitable for storing data, and a host suitable for controlling the semiconductor memory device in response to an external command signal, in which the semiconductor memory device includes a buffer block suitable for storing first data programmed under control of the host, and a main block suitable for storing the second data programmed under control of the host or a copy of the first data stored in the buffer block at a sudden power fail.
