Publication number: 20090150588Abstract: A NOR emulating device using a controller and NAND memories can be used in a computer system in placed of the main memory or in place of the BIOS NOR memory. Thus, the emulating device can function as a bootable memory. In addition, the device can act as a cache to the hard disk drive. Further, with the addition of an MP3 player controller into the device, the device can function as a stand alone audio playback device, even while the PC is turned off or is in a hibernating mode. Finally with the MP3 player controller, the device can access additional audio data stored on the hard drive, again with the PC in an off mode or a hibernating mode. Finally, the device can function to operate the disk drive, even while the PC is off or is in a hibernating mode, and control USB ports attached thereto.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 13, 2009Publication date: June 11, 2009Applicant: Silicon Storage Technology, Inc.Inventors: Jeremy Wang, Fong-Long Lin, Bing Yeh

Publication number: 20090075698Abstract: A removable card for use with a mobile wireless communication device has a processor and a non-volatile memory, connected to the processor. The memory has programming code stored configured to be executed by the processor and is operable in one of two modes. In a first mode the card is connected to the device with the card storing information received wirelessly by the device from the Internet. In a second mode the card is connected to a network portal device, which is connected to the Internet, with the card storing information received through the network portal device from the Internet. In another embodiment, the removable card has electrical connections for connecting to a mobile wireless communicating device for use by a user to connect to the Internet. The memory has two portions: a first portion and a second portion with the partitioning being alterable. The processor restricts access to the first portion by the user, while grants access to the second portion to the user.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 14, 2007Publication date: March 19, 2009Inventors: Zhimin Ding, Richard M.
