In a printer of the present invention, an EEPROM that carries out sequential access and has a relatively small storage capacity is applied for storage elements mounted on both black and color ink cartridges, which are detachably attached to the printer. Pieces of information relating to each ink cartridge, for example, pieces of information on remaining quantities of respective inks in the ink cartridge, are stored in the storage element of the ink cartridge. A format of addressing adopted in the storage elements of the ink cartridges Is different from that adopted in an EEPROM incorporated in a printer main body of the printer. A control IC provided in the printer accordingly converts the storage format of addressing, before writing the information into the storage elements of the ink cartridges. In the printer, a RAM is mounted with the control IC on a carriage, and the pieces of information to be written Into the storage elements of the ink cartridges are temporarily registered in the RAM. The pieces of information are then written into the respective storage elements of the black and color ink cartridges, for example, at a timing of a powe-off operation. The signal lines and the memory used in the course of writing the information into the storage elements are identical with the signal lines, through which print data are transmitted to a print head mounted on the carriage of the printer, and the memory, in which the print data are stored. The arrangement of the present invention reduces the manufacturing cost of the ink cartridge and also enables size reduction of the whole printer.< / PTEXT>

Embodiments of the invention enable the synchronization of clocks across packet switched networks, such as the Internet, sufficient to drive a jitter buffer and other quality-of-service related buffering. Packet time stamps referenced to a local clock create a phase offset signal. A shortest-delay offset generator uses a moving-window filter to select the samples of the phase offset signal having the shortest network propagation delay within the window. This shortest network propagation delay filter minimizes the effect of network jitter under the assumption that queuing delays account for most of the network jitter. The addition of this filtered phase offset signal to a free-running local clock creates a time reference that is synchronized to the remote clock at the source thus allowing for the transport of audio, video, and other time-sensitive real-time signals with minimal latency.

A processing apparatus for processing a microelectronic workpiece includes a metrology unit and a control, signal-connected to the metrology unit. The control can modify a process recipe or a process sequence of the processing apparatus based on a feed forward or a feed back signal from the metrology unit. A seed layer deposition tool, a process layer electrochemical deposition tool, and a chemical mechanical polishing tool, arranged for sequential processing of a workpiece, can be controlled as an integrated system using one or more metrology units. A metrology unit can be located at each tool to measure workpiece parameters. Each of the metrology units can be used as a feed forward control and / or a feed back control at each of the tools.

In a manufacturing method for a semiconductor storage device, an interlayer insulating film, a first hard mask made of an insulative material for coating the interlayer insulating film and a second hard mask are formed on a substrate. The second hard mask is opened, and with use of the second hard mask as a mask, a recess groove, where an embedded interconnection is to be embedded, is formed in the interlayer insulating film. A diffusion preventing film is formed for preventing an embedded interconnection material from diffusing into the interlayer insulating film. The second hard mask and the diffusion preventing film are made of an identical material, which is a conductive material containing a metallic element in its composition. A conductive metal to be a material of the embedded interconnection is deposited. The surface side of the conductive metal is polished to the level that the first hard mask is exposed therefrom.

A client device includes a command processing device. The command processing device is configured to transmit an error signal while in an abnormal operation mode to prevent an error due to no response to a command received from an external source and process the command while in a normal operation mode. The error signal is indicative of the abnormal operation mode.

An image signal processor comprising an image signal receiver and a white balance processing block is provided. The image signal receiver receives an image signal. The image signal is generated by an imaging device when the imaging device captures an optical image of an object. The imaging device captures the optical image of the object through a photographic optical system. The photographic optical system has a focus optical system. The focus optical system focuses the optical image on a light receiving surface of the imaging device. The photographic optical system is housed in a lens unit with a detector. The detector finds an object distance based on a location of the focus optical system in the photographic optical system. The white balance processing block carries out a white balance process for the image signal, based on a photographing magnification of the photographic optical system, the object distance, and the light intensity of the optical image as the image signal is generated.
