| 20080288096 | Digital media player with circuitry for avoiding refreshing a database of metadata associated with digital media content - A digital media player with circuitry for avoiding refreshing a database of metadata associated with digital media content is disclosed. In one embodiment, a digital media player storing a database of metadata associated with digital media content determines whether a removable memory device was connected with the digital media player while the digital media player was powered down. The digital media player refreshes the database only if it is determined that the removable memory device was connected with the digital media player while the digital media player was powered down. In another embodiment, the digital media player determines whether the digital media content stored on the removable memory device changed since the database was last updated. The digital media player refreshes the database if it is determined that the digital media content stored on the removable memory device changed since the database was last updated. | 11-20-2008 |
| 20080288097 | Method for improving a digital media player experience - A method for improving a digital media player experience is disclosed. In one embodiment, a digital media player storing a media transfer protocol database determines that digital media content stored on a removable memory device connected with the digital media player changed since the media transfer protocol database was last updated. The digital media player then refreshes the media transfer protocol database with metadata associated with the digital media content stored in the removable memory device. In another embodiment, a digital media player stores digital media content in the removable memory device, stores auxiliary information associated with the digital media content in a memory of the digital media player, and stores the auxiliary information in the removable memory device. In this way, the auxiliary information is portable with the removable memory device and accessible by a second digital player when the removable memory device is placed in communication with the second digital player. | 11-20-2008 |
| 20080288098 | Method for avoiding refreshing a database of metadata associated with digital media content - A method for avoiding refreshing a database of metadata associated with digital media content is disclosed. In one embodiment, a digital media player storing a database of metadata associated with digital media content determines whether a removable memory device was connected with the digital media player while the digital media player was powered down. The digital media player refreshes the database only if it is determined that the removable memory device was connected with the digital media player while the digital media player was powered down. In another embodiment, the digital media player determines whether the digital media content stored on the removable memory device changed since the database was last updated. The digital media player refreshes the database if it is determined that the digital media content stored on the removable memory device changed since the database was last updated. | 11-20-2008 |
| 20080288099 | Digital media player with improved user experience - A digital media player with improved user experience is disclosed. In one embodiment, a digital media player storing a database of metadata associated with digital media content determines whether a removable memory device was connected with the digital media player while the digital media player was powered down. The digital media player refreshes the database only if it is determined that the removable memory device was connected with the digital media player while the digital media player was powered down. In another embodiment, the digital media player determines whether the digital media content stored on the removable memory device changed since the database was last updated. The digital media player refreshes the database if it is determined that the digital media content stored on the removable memory device changed since the database was last updated. | 11-20-2008 |
| 20110268706 | PREPARATION METHOD OF POROUS HYALURONIC ACID SPONGE FOR CELL DELIVERY SYSTEM - Provided is a preparation method of a porous hyaluronic acid sponge comprising the steps of: dissolving hyaluronic acid in an aqueous sodium hydroxide solution; adding an epoxy-based crosslinking agent to the resultant aqueous sodium hydroxide solution in which hyaluronic acid is dissolved and homogenizing the hyaluronic acid solution; hydrogelating the homogenized hyaluronic acid solution; washing the hydrogelated hyaluronic acid hydrogel with ultrapure water; swelling the washed hyaluronic acid hydrogel to attain porosity; and freeze-drying the hyaluronic acid hydrogel to obtain a porous hyaluronic acid sponge. | 11-03-2011 |
| 20110289137 | Host Device and Method for Accessing a Virtual File in a Storage Device by Bypassing a Cache in the Host Device - A host device is provided comprising an interface configured to communicate with a storage device having a public memory area and a private memory area, wherein the public memory area stores a virtual file that is associated with content stored in the private memory area. The host device also comprises a cache, a host application, and a server. The server is configured to receive a request for the virtual file from the host application, send a request to the storage device for the virtual file, receive the content associated with the virtual file from the private memory area of the storage device, wherein the content is received by bypassing the cache, generate a response to the request from the host application, the response including the content, and send the response to the host application. In one embodiment, the server is a hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP) server. | 11-24-2011 |
| 20110289178 | Host Device and Method For Accessing a Virtual File in a Storage Device by Bypassing a Cache in the Host Device - A host device is provided comprising an interface configured to communicate with a storage device having a public memory area and a private memory area, wherein the public memory area stores a virtual file that is associated with content stored in the private memory area. The host device also comprises a cache, a host application, and a server. The server is configured to receive a request for the virtual file from the host application, send a request to the storage device for the virtual file, receive the content associated with the virtual file from the private memory area of the storage device, wherein the content is received by bypassing the cache, generate a response to the request from the host application, the response including the content, and send the response to the host application. In one embodiment, the server is a hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP) server. In another embodiment, the server can determine if a request is associated with a normal user permission or a super user permission, and send a response to the host application only if it is determined that the request is associated with the normal user permission. | 11-24-2011 |
