Memory Card With Latching Mechanism For Hinged Cover

View page
US Patent:
7710736, May 4, 2010
Filed:
Aug 4, 2006
Appl. No.:
11/462430
Inventors:
Warren Middlekauff - San Jose CA, US
Robert C. Miller - San Jose CA, US
Assignee:
SanDisk Corporation - Milpitas CA
International Classification:
H05K 5/03
US Classification:
361737, 361755, 439638, 439 761, 235492, 257679
Abstract:
An enclosed re-programmable non-volatile memory card includes a cover that is hinged to the card to normally cover a set of external contacts to which the memory is connected but which can be rotated out of the way by hand to expose that set of contacts for connection with a mating receptacle of a host device. A second set of electrical contacts having a different pattern than the covered set may also be provided on the card. The covered set of contacts may be in accordance with the universal serial bus (USB) plug standards. A latching mechanism built into the hinged cover holds it firmly in a closed position but allows its manual release to expose the covered set of contacts. One exemplary release mechanism utilizes a resiliently held element that is moveable by hand against the resilience, and another employs a hand slideable latch.

Method For Producing Portable Memory Devices

US Patent:
7928010, Apr 19, 2011
Filed:
Oct 20, 2006
Appl. No.:
11/551402
Inventors:
Warren Middlekauff - San Jose CA, US
Robert Miller - San Jose CA, US
Charlie Centofante - Los Altos CA, US
Assignee:
SanDisk Corporation - Milpitas CA
International Classification:
H01L 21/44
US Classification:
438674
Abstract:
Improved techniques to produce integrated circuit products are disclosed. The improved techniques permit smaller and less costly production of integrated circuit products. One aspect of the invention concerns covering test contacts (e. g. , test pins) provided with the integrated circuit products using printed ink. Once covered with the ink, the test contacts are no longer electrically exposed. Hence, the integrated circuit products are not susceptible to accidental access or electrostatic discharge. Moreover, the integrated circuit products can be efficiently produced in a small form factor without any need for additional packaging or labels to electrically isolate the test contacts.

US Patent:
8022519, Sep 20, 2011
Filed:
May 19, 2005
Appl. No.:
11/133576
Inventors:
Hem Takiar - Fremont CA, US
Robert C. Miller - San Jose CA, US
Warren Middlekauff - San Jose CA, US
Michael W. Patterson - Portland OR, US
Shrikar Bhagath - San Jose CA, US
Assignee:
SanDisk Technologies Inc. - Plano TX
International Classification:
H01L 23/02
US Classification:
257678, 257679, 257681, 257723, 257687, 257E21504
Abstract:
A system-in-a-package based flash memory card including an integrated circuit package occupying a small overall area within the card and cut to conform to the shape of a lid for the card. An integrated circuit may be cut from a panel into a shape that fits within and conforms to the shape of lids for a finished memory card, such as for example an SD Card. The integrated circuit package may be a system-in-a-package, a multi-chip module, or other arrangement where a complete electronic system is formed in a single package.
