    摘要： Methods and apparatus for closed-case removable expansion cards having a removable memory enhance the utility of portable computer hosts, such as PDAs. In both a first and second embodiments the closed-case removable expansion cards preferably use a Type II CompactFlash form factor. In the first embodiment the removable memory is in combination with an external-I/O connector or attached external-I/O device, providing both I/O and memory functions in a single closed-case removable expansion card. This increases the expansion functional density for portable computer hosts, such as PDAs. That is, it increases the amount of functionality that can be accommodated within a given volume allocation for expansion devices. In the second embodiment the removable memory is a private memory for application specific circuitry within the closed-case-removable expansion card. This enhances the utility of portable computer hosts, such as PDAs, as universal chassises for application specific uses. The standard CompactFlash physical and electrical interface couples the application specific card to the host, which provides user interface functions for the application. The cards include a top located slot and an internal connector for accepting a MultiMediaCard as the private removable memory. In addition, the application specific card will generally have some manner of I/O to required external devices, such as scanning devices, sensors, or transducers. Otherwise, all functionality for the application specific function is self-contained within the application specific card.

    摘要： The utility of portable computer hosts, such as PDAs (or handhelds), is enhanced by methods and apparatus for removable expansion cards having application specific circuitry, a second-level-removable memory, and optional I/O, in a number of illustrative embodiments. In addition to providing greater expansion utility in a compact and low profile industrial design, the present invention permits memory configuration versatility for application specific expansion cards, permitting easy user field selection and upgrades of the memory used in conjunction with the expansion card. Finally, from a system perspective, the present invention enables increased parallelism and functionality previously not available to portable computer devices.

    摘要： The functionality provided to electronic devices by application specific removable modules is enhanced by viewing the removable modules as first-level removable modules and providing them with at least one second-level removable slot for selectively nesting second-level removable modules having particular external I/O capabilities. The functionality provided to the electronic devices by such a first-level removable module can thus be provided in part by the application specific circuitry within the removable module and further in part by the type of external I/O of the second-level removable module.

    摘要： A wireless adapter combined with a conventional hand scanner, forms a wireless hand scanner combination. The wireless adapter captures the hand scanner via a retention mechanism. A plug is mounted within the wireless adapter, such that the plug mates with a receptacle of the hand scanner at the same time that the hand scanner is captured by the wireless adapter. The wireless adapter further includes Control, I/O, and Power Circuitry, a Wireless Module, a Battery, and one or more indicator(s). The Control, I/O, and Power Circuitry is adapted to communicate with the scan electronics of the hand scanner via a conventional industry standard I/O interface. These communications are conveyed to a computing host via the Wireless Module, which is adapted to be compatible with at least one wireless industry standard, including such wireless standards as Bluetooth, WiFi, UWB, and Zigbee. The indicator(s) is (are) adapted to provide scan feedback to the operator via at least one of auditory or visual means.
