In a Constant Access Time Bounded cache, if a dirty line in a search group of the cache is selected for eviction from the cache, marking the dirty line as evicted, selecting a replacement line from a reserve, and inserting the replacement line into the search group. The present pumping voltage generating circuit begins a pumping operation for a wordline voltage in response to an accelerating start signal activated from a supply of an external program voltage, rather than a pumping enable signal activated from a program command. The vacuum processing system also includes purge-gas discharge members provided near the loadingunloading holes. The interference energy measuring unit measures interference energy by coherently integrating and non-coherently integrating after correlating the received signal with another pattern that is orthogonal to the pilot patterns of the transmitted antenna signals but is not transmitted. The strip may be wound around one or more sheaves to decrease the required working range of the elastic. The loop enlarged to the predetermined size is contracted, to bind a material to be bound in the loop.
