Abstract: A hand held electronic device, such as a flash memory drive, includes a mechanism for extending and withdrawing a connector (11), such as a USB plug, that is adapted for engaging a mating connector of a host device. A positive latch holds the connector with respect to an outer shell (15) when in the extended and withdrawn positions. Movement of a separate housing portion (17) unlatches the connector and outer shell, and also provides movement of the connector. A protective door (13) closes over a connector opening when the connector is withdrawn into the device, and the door is withdrawn into the device when the connector is extended, thereby not interfering with the extended connector.

Abstract: A memory has defective locations in its user portion replaceable by redundant locations in a redundant portion. Data latches in the user and redundant portions allow data sensed from or to be written to a memory to be exchanged with a data bus. A defective location latching redundancy scheme assumes the column circuits including data latches for defective columns to be still useable. The data latches for the defective columns are used to buffer corresponding redundant data that are normally accessible from their data latches in the redundant portion. In this way both the user and redundant data are available from the user data latches, and streaming data into or out of the data bus is simplified and performance improved.

Abstract: A photolithographic method uses different exposure patterns. In one aspect, a photo-sensitive layer on a substrate is subject to a first exposure using optics having a first exposure pattern, such as an x-dipole pattern, followed by exposure using optics having a second exposure pattern, such as a y-dipole pattern, via the same mask, and with the photo-sensitive layer fixed relative to the mask. A 2-D post pattern with a pitch of approximately 70-150 nm may be formed in a layer beneath the photo-sensitive layer using 157-193 nm UV light, and hyper-numerical aperture optics, in one approach. In another aspect, hard baking is performed after both of the first and second exposures to erase a memory effect of photoresist after the first exposure. In another aspect, etching of a hard mask beneath the photo-sensitive layer is performed after both of the first and second exposures.

Abstract: A method, system, and computer-readable media storing operational instructions for allowing content protected by a first DRM system to be accessed by a second DRM system are disclosed. In one embodiment, a request is received from a host application for a license for content protected by a first DRM system, the first DRM system being different from the host application's DRM system. A license supported by the host application's DRM system is then generated from a license supported by the first DRM system. In another embodiment, a request is received to store content protected by a first DRM system. In response to the request, a portable license for the content is generated from a license supported by the first DRM system. Alternatively or additionally, a portable file format for the content is generated from a file format supported by the first DRM system. The request can come from a first computing platform, and the portable license and/or file format can be generated by a second computing platform. Other embodiments are disclosed, and each of the embodiments can be used alone or together in combination.
