Patent number: 7787243Abstract: Methods and apparatus for interfacing a memory device with a host device are disclosed. According to one aspect of the present invention, an apparatus which enables a non-volatile memory device to communicate with a host device includes a body and an element. The body has a boundary, and the element is arranged to move at least partially within the body. The element includes an interface which may be coupled to the host device when the element is in a first position with respect to the body. The element is also arranged to receive the non-volatile memory device and to move the non-volatile memory device and the interface with respect to the body. In one embodiment, when the element is in the first position with respect to the body, the interface at least partially extends past the boundary associated with the body.Type: GrantFiled: February 16, 2009Date of Patent: August 31, 2010Assignee: SanDisk CorporationInventors: Jeffrey A. Salazar, Robert A. Howard, Jonathan R. Harris, Daren W. Hebold

Patent number: 7055695Abstract: A container is provided for shipping and storing a pre-wetted and pre-conditioned microfluidic “sipper” chip. The container contains both dry compartments and wet compartments. A base contains a fluid-filled reservoir configured to house the capillaries. The opening of the reservoir is sealed with an O-ring. The plastic mount of the chip rests on the base in a dry compartment. The upper surface of the chip contains several wells containing fluid. A gasket is provided with plugs configured to be disposed within and seal the wells. Alternatively, the wells are first sealed with a foil film adhered to the well openings with an adhesive and a gasket is disposed between the foil and a cover, which is removably attached to the base. When the cover is closed, the gasket and O-ring seal the wet compartments to prevent leakage and to slow evaporation.Type: GrantFiled: June 2, 2003Date of Patent: June 6, 2006Assignee: Caliper Life Sciencee, Inc.Inventors: Michael Greenstein, Colin B Kennedy, Huan L Phan, Stephan Bianchi, Jonathan R Harris, Daren W Hebold, Robert A Howard, Andrew L Zee

Patent number: 6896134Abstract: A protective carrying case for a computer includes a top portion and a bottom portion for supporting the computer. The top portion is configured to close over the computer and mate with the bottom portion to form a complete enclosure around the computer, with padding to protect the computer. The bottom portion advantageously provides a low peripheral profile, allowing access to peripheral ports disposed on the sides of the computer while the computer is disposed thereon. The case may also include enlarged cushioned corners for providing additional protection to the corners of the computer, and an openable back portion, configured to selectively expose the computer's external connector ports, to allow connection of the computer to external components while the computer remains substantially enclosed within the case.Type: GrantFiled: May 24, 2002Date of Patent: May 24, 2005Assignee: Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.Inventors: Paul G. Russell, Christopher M. Bradley, Michael L. Simmons, Benjamin Chu, John Christopher Edwon, Daren W. Hebold, Christophe Phillipe Guy Koch

The bottom portion advantageously provides a low peripheral profile, allowing access to peripheral ports disposed on the sides of the computer while the computer is disposed thereon. The case may also include enlarged cushioned corners for providing additional protection to the comers of the computer, and an openable back portion, configured to selectively expose the computer's external connector ports, to allow connection of the computer to external components while the computer remains substantially enclosed within the case.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 24, 2002Publication date: November 27, 2003Inventors: Paul G.
