Abstract: A flash-card exchanger has two modes of operation. When a host personal computer (PC) is connected to a Universal-Serial-Bus (USB) connector, the flash-card exchanger operates in a card reader mode, allowing the host to read data from removable flash-memory cards inserted into connector slots of the flash-card exchanger. When the host PC is not connected, a USB flash-memory thumb or key-chain drive can be inserted into a second USB connector. A USB dual-mode microcontroller acts as a USB host, reading data from the removable flash-memory card and writing the data to the USB-memory key drive using USB packets. Since the USB-memory key drive is small and removable, the user can upgrade to larger storage capacities by plugging in a larger-capacity USB-memory key drive. A flash-exchanger program executing on the USB dual-mode microcontroller copies data from an input-output bus and generates USB packets to the USB-memory key drive.

Abstract: A dual-mode Universal-Serial-Bus (USB) switch can operate in a normal hub mode to buffer transactions from a host to multiple USB flash storage blocks that are USB endpoints. When operating in a single-endpoint mode, the dual-mode USB switch intercepts packets from the host and responds to the host as a single USB endpoint. The USB switch aggregates all downstream USB flash storage blocks and reports a single pool of memory to the host as a single virtual USB memory. Adjacent transactions can be overlapped by packet re-ordering. A token packet that starts a following transaction is re-ordered to be sent to the USB flash storage blocks before the data and handshake packets that end a first transaction, allowing the second transaction to begin accessing the flash memory earlier. Data can be mirrored or striped across several USB flash storage blocks and parity can be added for error recovery.

Abstract translation: 双模通用串行总线（USB）交换机可以在正常集线器模式下工作，以缓冲从主机到作为USB端点的多个USB闪存存储块的事务。 当以单端点模式运行时，双模式USB交换机将拦截主机的数据包，并作为单个USB端点作为主机响应。 USB转换器将所有下游USB闪存存储块聚合，并将单个存储器池作为单个虚拟USB存储器报告给主机。 相邻的事务可以通过重新排序重叠。 在数据和握手结束第一个事务的数据包之前，重新排序启动后续事务的令牌数据包，以便在第二个事务开始之前开始访问闪存。 数据可以跨几个USB闪存存储块进行镜像或条带化，并且可以添加奇偶校验以进行错误恢复。

Abstract: A PCI Express-compatible flash device can include one or more flash memory modules, a controller, and an ExpressCard interface. The controller can advantageously provide PCI Express functionality as well as flash memory operations, e.g. writing, reading, or erasing, using the ExpressCard interface. A PIO interface includes sending first and second memory request packets to the flash device. The first memory request packet includes a command word setting that prepares the flash device for the desired operation. The second memory request packet triggers the operation and includes a data payload, if needed. A DMA interface includes sending the second memory request from the flash device to the host, thereby triggering the host to release the system bus for the DMA operation.

Abstract: A multi-light-emitting diode (LED) display for a USB flash drive produces a visually dazzling display. When accessed, a USB flash controller drives pulses onto an activity signal that increments a counter on a pattern-decoding generator. The pattern-decoding generator decodes the count and drives signals to data outputs. The data outputs connect to LED's, turning LED's on and off according to a display pattern. The pattern can be programmed by the USB flash controller into the pattern-decoding generator, or can be a hardwired pattern. Marquee patterns having a lit LED appearing to move down a line of LED's have more visual appeal than single LED indicators. Each data line can drive two LED's in different parts of a dual display, reducing costs. Multi-color LED's can be used to improve variety. The multiple LED's and the pattern-decoding generator can be mounted on a flexible PCB.

Abstract: A memory card including a PCB assembly that is consistent with existing 13-pad MMC mechanical form factors, and a housing that is consistent with the SD mechanical form factor, thereby providing a single PCBA and housing arrangement that can be used to produce both MMC and SD memory cards. The thirteen contact pads support all MMC and SD contact pad patterns, but are modified to facilitate a write protect switch. The housing includes an enlarged window (or windows) that exposes two or more contact pads in each of the multiple rows, thereby facilitating slidable insertion of the memory card into a socket of a host system. Alignment notches are formed in the side edges of the PCB, and/or alignment pins are utilized for properly aligning the PCBA within the housing.

Abstract: A memory card having thirteen contact pads arranged on a PCB in a manner that supports an integrated SD/MMC system. Eight contact pads form a front row, four contact pads form a second row behind the front row, and a thirteenth contact pad is located between the front and back rows adjacent to a chamfer formed on the PCB. An L-shaped gap region is provided between the first and second rows, and between the second row and side edge of the PCB. An optional alignment notch is defined along the side edge adjacent the second row. An optional alignment hole is defined between adjacent contact pads of the second row that receives an alignment pin passing between two covers of a two-part housing. The memory card electronics are compatible with either the MMC or SD protocols, and the housing is consistent with either the MMC or SD mechanical form factors.
