| 20120072401 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR TRANSFERRING DATA BETWEEN A HOST DEVICE AND AN EXTERNAL DEVICE - A method for transferring data between a host device and an external device is described. The external device has FAT32 file system. The method accepts parameters for an incoming data file from the host device. Further, the method allocates memory blocks for the incoming file data on the external device based on the parameters and indexes the allocated memory blocks on a memory index table to create a file footprint. The method reads the memory index table to identify the file footprint and receives the incoming file data from the host device. | 03-22-2012 |
| 20120066422 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR TRANSFERRING HIGH-SPEED DATA WITHIN A PORTABLE DEVICE - A system for high-speed data transfer within a portable device, such as, cell phone or a set-top box, which includes a memory medium and a processor. The system includes a first port for coupling to the processor, and a second port for coupling to the memory medium. Further, the system includes an embedded Universal Serial Bus (USB) host configured for receiving data transfer commands from the processor, and transferring data at high speed between a USB device on the processor and the memory medium. Moreover, a data path is provided between the embedded USB host and the first port. | 03-15-2012 |
| 20110076014 | Transmission Network Having an Optical Receiver that Utilizes Dual Power Pins and a Single Status Pin to Lower Power Consumption, Lower Manufacturing Cost, and Increase Transmission Efficiency - A communication network is provided for interconnecting a network of digital systems, such as multimedia devices. Each node of the communication network may include a receiver and a transmitter. The receiver and transmitter of each node can be an optical receiver and transmitter. The optical receiver is preferably powered by two power supply pins, each providing different supply amounts. An activity detector within the receiver can be powered from a first supply amount, and the signal path of the optical receiver can be supplied from a second supply amount greater than the first supply amount. The first supply amount is provided at all times, and the second supply amount is only provided if activity is detected. A voltage regulator which provides the first supply amount can be beneficially embodied on the same integrated circuit as a network interface to reduce the manufacturing cost of the network. By powering the activity detector separate from the signal path, power down and power up (normal) operating states are envisioned for reducing power consumption and increasing longevity of the optical receiver and transmitter. | 03-31-2011 |
| 20100135309 | System and Method for Transferring Non-Compliant Packetized and Streaming Data Into and From a Multimedia Device Coupled to a Network Across Which Compliant Data is Sent - A communication system, network, interface, and port architecture are provided for transporting different types of data across a network. The network can be arranged by connecting the ports in a daisy chain fashion to achieve a ring architecture or topology. The network forwards data according to a specific network protocol, and any incoming data that follows that protocol will be sent onto the network. If the incoming data protocol does not match the network protocol, then the incoming data is not sent immediately to the network, but instead is sent to an input pin of a device upon the network specifically designed to receive that incoming data. The network, therefore, has ports that support both compliant and non-compliant incoming data, and the devices that produce such data. Examples of non-compliant data include any data which does not time-division multiplex different asynchronous, isochronous, and synchronous data in dedicated channels within each frame, and which have a preamble, coding, frequency, or overall protocol different from that which is established for network transfer. | 06-03-2010 |
