20100190516Hand-Held Device - A hand-held device that provides communication services and symbol processing is described. The device includes a case having a front side comprising a display and a lid having a transparent portion through which the display can be seen in a lid-closed state. In one version, the hand-held device comprises a QWERTY keyboard including an arrangement of digits as in a touch-tone telephone keypad arrangement. In another version, the display includes a handwriting area for data entry using a stylus or other screen data entry device. In a closed position, the lid extends over the display and the keyboard, leaving another user input device physically accessible to touch for receiving input wherein the device performs processing responsive to receiving input from the physically accessible user input device in the lid closed state.07-29-2010

20080270678COMMAND RESEQUENCING IN MEMORY OPERATIONS - Systems and processes may include a memory coupled to a memory controller. Command signals for performing memory access operations may be received. Attributes of the command signals, such as type, time lapsed since receipt, and relatedness to other command signals, may be determined. Command signals may be sequenced in a sequence of execution based on the attributes. Command signals may be executed in the sequence of execution.10-30-2008
20090097195HARD DISK DRIVE WITH VIBRATION ISOLATORS LOCATED AT MOUNTING POINTS - A hard disk drive housing includes cavities where energy absorbing material (e.g., vibration isolators) can be inserted. In one aspect, cavities can be formed within the hard disk drive housing where mounting points are located for mounting the hard disk drive to a chassis. The cavities can be adapted (e.g., threaded) to receive threaded vibration isolators. The vibration isolators can be any size, shape (e.g., annular) and material (e.g., rubber) based on the intended design.04-16-2009
20100002564Method and device for hard drive shock event detection - A method and system for sensing the current applied to the motor of a data storage device and determining whether a shock event has occurred by processing the sensed current levels.01-07-2010
20100268866SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR OPERATING A DISK DRIVE - System and methods for storing data to a storage device are provided. In embodiments, the storage device may include a disk drive with a solid-state memory for storing certain frequently updated information. In some embodiments, the solid-state memory may be used to store journaling information.10-21-2010
