Patent number: 8191120Abstract: The present invention teaches a powerless lockable UFD system and a method for securely protecting information stored and retrieved on UFDs (USB flash drives) that does not require electric power in order to enter a password to the UFD. The system also features an alarm and reset mechanism for clearing entered passwords. Passwords are concealed from the sight of a viewer for further protection. The system can be similarly incorporated into peripheral devices such as hard-disk drives (HDDs), printers, scanners, cameras, and portable memory devices.Type: GrantFiled: June 21, 2006Date of Patent: May 29, 2012Assignee: SanDisk IL Ltd.Inventors: Erez Baum, Donald Rich, Itzhak Pomerantz

Patent number: 7775443Abstract: A portable data storage device (such as a USB flash drive) including a housing shaped to facilitate a reversible packaging of at least one such portable data storage device into an object having a shape of a ring, preferably having dimensions of a standard CD ROM, a non-volatile memory within the housing for storing digital information, and a connecting mechanism protruding from the housing for reversibly operationally connecting the non-volatile memory to a host. The housing includes a mechanism for reversibly packaging together the portable data storage device to other such portable data storage devices. The scope of the invention also includes a method of distributing such portable data storage devices.Type: GrantFiled: April 7, 2006Date of Patent: August 17, 2010Assignee: Sandisk IL Ltd.Inventors: Itzhak Pomerantz, Hagai Heshes, Erez Baum

Patent number: 7744406Abstract: The present invention discloses systems and method for storing and organizing UFDs (USB flash drives) on a storage pole, and for configuring UFDs to accommodate storage on a storage pole. Various embodiments also include configurations of the UFDs and/or storage poles which prevent rotation of the UFDs on the storage pole, thereby providing aligned stacking of the UFDs. Some embodiments include more than one pole for storage and/or alignment of the UFDs. Some embodiments do not require a pole for storage and/or alignment of the UFDs. In addition, systems which allow extraction of a single UFD from a stack of UFDs while maintaining the order of the UFDs are also disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: May 17, 2006Date of Patent: June 29, 2010Assignee: SanDisk IL Ltd.Inventors: Hagai Heshes, Itzhak Pomerantz, Erez Baum, Menahem Lasser

Patent number: 7684552Abstract: A system and method for postponing and managing outgoing calling tasks for on or off-site retrieval are presented. More precisely a system and method are presented to compile a list of pending calling tasks, transfer a task to a calling device and prompt a user to make a call. Optionally the list may contain synchronized sublists, one sublist on a personal computer and a second sublist an a mobile calling device. At the completion of a calling task or other event, the list is automatically updated.Type: GrantFiled: October 5, 2006Date of Patent: March 23, 2010Assignee: Modu LtdInventors: Itzhak Pomerantz, Gilad Engel, Yitzhak Tzahi Weisfeld, Erez Baum, Sariel Engel

Patent number: 7296144Abstract: When a non-volatile memory device is reversibly operationally connected to a computer, the computer executes an application that is stored on the device. The execution causes changes to a non-volatile memory of the computer. After the execution terminates, all such changes are undone, either immediately if the termination was normal or upon rebooting the computer if the termination was abnormal. Before or during the execution, information related to the changes is recorded. The undoing of the changes is based on that information. Examples of such information recorded before the execution include a list of expected changes and a partial or full copy of the computer's non-volatile memory.Type: GrantFiled: November 23, 2004Date of Patent: November 13, 2007Assignee: SanDisk IL Ltd.Inventors: Donald Ray Bryant-Rich, Ittai Golde, Yaakov Ben Tsvi, Erez Baum, Daniel Yerushalmi
