摘要： A portable storage device controllable by a remote service center is disclosed herein. In some embodiments, the portable storage device includes a register for storing permission indicia and a non-volatile user memory for storing user data. Upon receiving a permission directive from a remote service center (e.g. via the host device), the permission indicia may be replenished (i.e. if it is desired to extend additional device-use privileges) or depleted (i.e. if is desired to deny or reduce device-use privileges). When providing host access to the onboard non-volatile user memory of the portable storage device, the permission indicia are consumed, thereby limiting the extent of host-user memory access allowable without a refresh of the permission indicia. Exemplary permission indicia include but are not limited to distinct host-device couplings, inter-device transfer quota, and usage time quote. Methods, systems including the aforementioned portable storage device, and computer code are also described.

摘要： The present audio arrangement of a headset and an audio extension cord enables a user to listen to a portable audio player while essentially eliminating the risk that the audio extension cord would become tangled with exterior objects. The audio extension cord attaches to the user's shirt and provides to the headset a signal path from the portable audio player, which is attached at the waist or on the arm. No modification of a standard portable audio player is necessary, which thus provides widespread applicability. The invention can also be embodied as a method of attaching an audio extension cord to a shirt in a fashion to facilitate listening to a portable audio player with a nearly eliminated risk that the audio extension cord would encumber nearby objects.

摘要： A card vending machine includes a storage area, wherein each of a plurality of memory cards to be issued by a respective one of at least two different issuers are stored. A security mechanism conditions access of each issuer to only a respective portion of the storage area upon authorization of this issuer. An interface mechanism is operated by a user to define a purchasing transaction and a controller is operative, in accordance with the interface mechanism, to customize a memory card at least in part according to the purchasing transaction.
