    摘要: Methods and devices for simultaneously verifying or reading multiple states in non-volatile storage are disclosed. Methods and devices for efficiently reducing or eliminating cross-coupling effects in non-volatile storage are disclosed. Methods and devices for efficiently performing reads at a number of voltages to search for the threshold voltage of a memory cell are disclosed. Memory cells on different NAND strings that are read at the same time may be tested for different threshold voltage levels. Memory cells may be tested for different threshold voltages by applying different gate-to-source voltages to memory cells being tested for different threshold voltages. Memory cells may be tested for different threshold voltages by applying different drain to source voltages to the memory cells. Different amounts of compensation for cross-coupling affects may be applied to memory cells on different NAND strings that are read or programmed at the same time.

    摘要: A computer system includes a hard disk drive, a processor coupled to the hard disk drive, and a cache interface coupled to the processor and detachably connectable to a cache memory. The processor is adapted, subsequent to an initial interrogation of the cache interface, to determine whether the cache memory is connected to the cache interface by inspecting an indication of the presence or the absence of the cache memory, the indication being stored in a register in the processor or in a memory associated with the processor such that the inspecting avoids repeat interrogation of the cache interface, to communicate with the cache memory and the hard disk drive such that the processor has access to the cache memory when the cache memory is connected to the cache interface, and to communicate with the hard disk drive when the cache memory is disconnected from the cache interface.

    摘要: A storage medium includes a content storage portion for storing content and a bookmark storage portion for storing a bookmark value. An associated player for playing the content includes a user interface for presenting the content to a user, a processor for presenting the content to the user interface starting at a starting segment of the content in accordance with the bookmark value, and a medium interface for reversibly operationally connecting the player to the storage medium to deliver the content and the bookmark value to the processor. The player plays the content until an ending segment is reached, and sets the bookmark value in accordance with the ending segment, so that subsequent playing, on the same player or on a different player, starts in accordance with the ending segment. The starting segment is selected either by the player or by the storage medium.

    摘要: A high-capacity SIM card includes: memory having at least one partition and a memory controller configured: to control at least two modes of access to one partition of the partitions, only one of the modes being a currently-active mode; and to allow the currently-active mode to be operationally changed remotely. Preferably, the memory controller controls operability of reading data, writing data, erasing data, and/or executing code, according to the currently-active mode. Preferably, the memory controller also controls storage of data in the card based on access-control data delivered to the card. Preferably, the memory controller is configured to reversibly operationally change, for one partition, which mode is the currently-active mode. Preferably, the memory controller prohibits change of the currently-active mode by a host device of the card.

    摘要: A user interface apparatus includes a display device, display application, and processor. The display device includes a display area, and the display area includes an active area. The processor and display application are configured to display application stacks, each of which may be moved into and out of the active area in response to user input, and each of which contains one or more stack cards. Each application stack is associated with a computer application, and each stack card represents a content entity capable of being operated on by the computer application corresponding to its application stack. When an application stack is in the active area the application stack is activated such that its stack cards are displayed in sequence and at least one of them may be selected. Selecting a stack card causes the corresponding computer application to be executed and to operate on the corresponding content entity.

    摘要: A third party facilitates preparation of a backup SSD for backing up a source SSD. Digital data of the source SSD, which includes protected and sensitive data and information, is copied to the backup SSD either by and via the third party or directly from the source SSD but under supervision of the third party. The digital data of the source SSD is copied to the backup SSD under stringent rules and only if each party (i.e., the source SSD, destination SSD, and third party) proves to a counterpart device with which it operates that it is authorized to send to it digital data or to receive therefrom digital data, depending on the device with which that party operates.

    摘要: A request is received to store a file in a storage area of a storage device, the file being discardable and having associated therewith data in a data structure associated with the storage device. The file is marked as a discardable file. In some implementations a file system structure of the data structure is marked to indicate that the file is a discardable file, where in other implementations, the file itself is marked to indicate that the file is a discardable file. A download manager determines a download condition associated with the request to store the discardable file in the storage area of the storage device and determines whether to delay a download to the storage device of the discardable file based on the determined download condition. The download manager manages the download of the discardable file to the storage device based on the determination of whether to delay the download of the discardable file to the storage device.

    摘要: A host device and method for securely booting the host device with operating system code loaded from a storage device are provided. In one embodiment, a host device is in communication with a storage device having a private memory area storing boot loader code and a public memory area storing operating system code. The host device instructs the storage device to initiate a boot mode and receives the boot loader code from the storage device. The host device executes the boot loader code which performs a security check and executes the operating system code loaded from the storage device only if the security check is successful.

    摘要: A method includes defining a host capability; creating for a storage device a second directory tree from a first directory tree of the storage device that is included in a file system within the storage device; and, for a data file that is stored in the storage device and is selectable for consumption by a host through the first directory tree that is included in the storage device's file system, determining whether the data file requires for consumption a host having the defined host capability. If the data file requires a host having the defined host capability, an entry is created in the second directory tree in which the data file is not selectable for consumption by the host. Otherwise, an entry is created in the second directory tree in which the data file is selectable for consumption by the host.
