  • Publication number: 20070259567
    Abstract: A multiple mode micro memory card connector includes a housing and a cavity formed in the housing for receiving a micro memory card. The cavity includes a first end having a shape conforming to a first device connection standard for receiving a micro memory card compatible with the first device connection standard, and a second end formed at an opposite end of the cavity from the first end, the second end having a shape conforming to a second device connection standard for receiving a micro memory card compatible with the second device connection standard.

  • Publication number: 20070168575
    Abstract: A non-volatile storage device with a thin display unit is described. The non-volatile storage device has a thin display unit, a first interface, a non-volatile storage unit, a second interface, an electric material and a package unit. Therein, the non-volatile storage unit further has a controller and a non-volatile storage medium. The package unit further has a display window. The non-volatile storage unit sends status information of the non-volatile storage medium to the thin display unit via the electric material between the first interface and the second interface. Then, a user can view the status information shown on the display unit via the display window directly.

  • Publication number: 20070133299
    Abstract: A non-volatile memory storage device with functions of boosting supply voltage and signal level can adopt a non-volatile memory having an operating voltage higher than the supply voltage provided by the host device as a storage medium. The non-volatile memory storage device includes a supply voltage booster, a non-volatile memory storage unit and a controller. The supply voltage booster boosts the lower supply voltage provided by the host device up to the higher operating voltage of the non-volatile memory. The controller adjusts the interface signal to a proper interface signal level by cooperating with the supply voltage and the operating voltage so as to avoid the interface from damage owing to an over high signal level or avoid the non-volatile memory unit from not correctly receiving signal due to an over low signal level.

  • Publication number: 20070022235
    Abstract: A non-volatile storage device with a thin display unit is described. The non-volatile storage device has a thin display unit, a non-volatile storage unit, a connection interface, and a package unit. Therein, the non-volatile storage unit further has a controller and a non-volatile storage medium. The thin display unit further has a transmission interface. The package unit further has a display window. The controller sends status information of the non-volatile storage medium to the thin display unit via the connection between the connection interface and the transmission interface. Then, a user can view the status information shown on the display unit via the display window directly.
