    摘要: A method for programming a plurality of data sequences into a corresponding plurality of flash memory functional units using a programming process having at least one selectable programming duration-controlling parameter controlling the duration of the programming process for a given data sequence, the method comprising providing at least one indication of at least one varying situational characteristic and determining a value for said at least one selectable programming duration-controlling parameter controlling the duration of the programming process for a given data sequence, for each flash memory functional unit, depending at least partly on said indication of said varying characteristic; and, for each individual flash memory functional unit from among said plurality of flash memory functional units, programming a sequence of bits into said individual flash memory functional unit using a programming process having at least one selectable parameter, said at least one selectable parameter being set at said value determined for said individual flash memory functional unit.

    摘要: A system and method for encoding information arriving from a host in order to store the coded information in flash memory, the method comprising encoding information arriving from a host for storage at a flash memory location including generating a number of redundancy bytes, the encoding proceeding at an encoding rate which is a function of the number of redundancy bytes generated, the encoding including determining an effective error rate, including an anticipated rate of expected reading errors, for the flash memory location; and selecting the encoding rate as a function of the effective error rate such that the number of redundancy bytes is sufficient to overcome the anticipated rate of expected reading errors with a predetermined degree of certainty.

    摘要: The present invention provides a fully functional keyboard in a form factor no larger than that of a small cell phone. The keyboard achieves this small form factor by utilizing an entirely unique keyboard layout in which the keys in the top and bottom letter rows are reduced in the North-South axis, (the transverse axis i.e. the axis at right angles to the letter rows) whilst all the keys in the middle letter row, (the “Home” row) are maintained as full-size, (18 mm×18 mm with 1 mm spacing) in both the North-South and East-West axis. (the longitudinal axis i.e. the axis parallel to the letter rows) The size is further reduced by folding the keyboard. This is achieved by having the keyboard divided into four sections, hingedly connected along three fold lines, whereby the keys are cut at the fold lines to permit folding of the keyboard into a “W” shape. The size is further reduced by constructing each section of the keyboard in an extremely thin form-factor. (0.125″ or 3.2 mm) Finally, all this is achieved without adding an outside shell or frame. A stand is constructed in the form factor of two and/or three credit cards, which can be unfolded in various manners into various stands, all of which can support a PDA or cell phone with the screen placed at an angle of 45 degrees to the vertical and in such a manner that the PDA or cell phone can receive the keystroke signals transmitted from the IR transmitter in the keyboard.
