Flashtoaster For Reading Several Types Of Flash-Memory Cards With Or Without A Pc
View pageUS Patent:
6438638, Aug 20, 2002
Filed:
Jul 6, 2000
Appl. No.:
09/610904
Inventors:
Larry Lawson Jones - Palo Alto CA
Sreenath Mambakkam - San Jose CA

Sreenath Mambakkam - San Jose CA

Assignee:
OnSpec Electronic, Inc. - Santa Clara CA
International Classification:
G06F 1300
US Classification:
710301, 710303
Abstract:
A flash-memory-card reader reads and writes multiple types of flash-memory cards, including CompactFlash, and the smaller SmartMedia, MultiMediaCard, Secure Digital, and Memory Stick. A converter chip converts the different card signals for transfer to a host personal computer (PC). Serial-to-parallel data conversion is performed for the smaller card formats with serial data interfaces, but not for CompactFlash with a parallel-data interface. A single slot has a 50-pin connector for CompactFlash cards or passive adapters. The passive adapters have the CompactFlash form factor and a smaller connector fitting smaller flash cards. Passive adapters have no components but simply wire the smaller connector to the CompactFlash connector. A pin mapping allows card-type detection by sensing the LSB address pins of the CompactFlash interface. A larger CompactFlash reader has multiple slots for each card type.

International Classification:
G06F 1300
US Classification:
710301, 710303
Abstract:
A single-slot multi-flash-card reader is disclosed. The flash card reader includes an Integrated Device Electronics (IDE) interface for transferring data to a personal computer; and an IDE converter, coupled to the IDE interface, for converting multiple flash-card interfaces to a format used by the personal computer interface. The multiple flash-card interfaces include a CompactFlash interface and smaller interfaces having fewer pins that the CompactFlash interface. The flash card reader includes a CompactFlash connector, coupled to the IDE converter, for receiving a CompactFlash card through a single slot in the single-slot multi-flash-card reader, the CompactFlash connector making electrical connection with the CompactFlash card for signals in the CompactFlash interface. The flash card reader also includes an adapter, having a physical shape to remove or insert into the CompactFlash connector. The adapter has a mating CompactFlash connector that fits the CompactFlash connector.
Field-Operable, Stand-Alone Apparatus For Media Recovery And Regeneration

6839864, Jan 4, 2005
Filed:
Sep 23, 2002
Appl. No.:
10/253547

Sreenath Mambakkam - San Jose CA, US
Larry Lawson Jones - Palo Alto CA, US
Arockiyaswamy Venkidu - Menlo Park CA, US
Larry Lawson Jones - Palo Alto CA, US

Assignee:
OnSpec Electronic Inc. - Santa Clara CA
International Classification:
G06F 1100
US Classification:
714 5, 711159
Abstract:
A field-operable stand-alone apparatus for recovering data from corrupted flash media and regenerated damaged flash media. The apparatus enables users in the field to recover data from and/or regenerate damaged flash media without requiring the use of a computer. In one aspect, recovery comprises using a low-level access scheme that enables data to be recovered when high-level interfaces, such as file systems, are damaged. The type of flash media is determined, and a corresponding access scheme is employed. Depending on the type of damage to the media, a physical-to-logical table may be built and employed to sequentially access the flash media in search of indicia from which selectable file-types can be identified, or the media may be accessed using normal operating system commands. Once the file indicia are found, the location of corresponding file data is identified, whereupon the file data are read and stored. The apparatus may include a plurality of different connectors to interface with different media form factors, or a universal connector that employs various form-factor adaptors to interface with the different flash media configurations.
