"direct infringement insofar as patents are concerned"

Direct infringement insofar as, a scantly detailed editorial is concerned. They hint of a drastic change from the conventional way. They have removed RAM resource form a normal component arrangement, implementing new techniques that accordingly, enable normal data and configuration routine.

e.digital IP includes a process of removing RAM resource from conventional ways, through a process that involves over forty pages of claims. One can not understand them without being familiar with the attributes of other assorted involvements. For that it takes more than just reading the patents. I can not simply explain them in short words.

impenetrable.....they are not, you, at best, need a rudimentary understanding.

In order to understand the e.Digital process/patents the following is prerequisite.

1. The fundamental difference between unix(inode) and non-unix(index) structured systems.

2. The overhead in managing the attributes of each of the above.

3. The difference between contiguous and non-contiguous data segment arrangements.

4. What battery backed RAM is for and how it is utilized to manage the above attributes of 1,2 & 3.

5. The fundamental difference between Hard drive, rom, prom, eprom,eeprom,....flash ... (with a further breakdown of the fundamental difference between NAND and NOR )

6. How addressing is formatted on the media CHS or LBA

7. What the ATA-IDE / PCMCIA standards are for and how translation is handled between CHS and LBA

8. Identify how the word cache is utilized in an explination, as it is used at different extents...confusing one to beleive the meanig is the same.

9. B tree structure(data base environment)

With an understand of the fundamentals....you can then read the patents with a somewhat understanding of what is taking place.

Ironic....as involved it is to understand the process....the final patented culmination is simplistic.....lol.

IMO...it is a finite in recipe with novel firsts in claims.
