"Produced the first interface for a digital voice recorder for downloading and managing voice recordings on the PC."

The interface to PC would be an important aspect of e.Digitals ability.

They utilize a whole new approach compared to others, such as Sandisk(Msystems) or Lexar.

e.Digital utilizes a proprietary data structure arrangement which they patented along with an embedded operating system. It orchestrates the interface and manages the varying types of addressing of flash(or any memory) to the PC. ....This system can manage the attributes of any other system without having the normally associated translation for varying memory address types.

The other systems mentioned above, started out by translating CHS(cylinder head sector) utilized by hard disk operating systems and translating that process, to LBA(logical block address) environments. Flash type devices are LBA environments, where PC OS's can not run them direct, an abstract layer sits between the environments. This environment also utilize's an overhead of hardware(RAM) needed for processes involved for the shadowing or paging of data.

For other systems prior Edigs patents, they created varying abstract layers of translation processes and patented them. they are not OS's, though some now try to say they are.

e.Digital in managing the attributes of other OS's, there's no translation, its a hand off between OS's. Having the ability of interacting at this level allows for the development of a much more robust environment through varying API(application program instructions)... without the mentioned overhead.

This is for the PC interface direct from the flash environment....however, it is much more.

Just refer to the wranglings between Sandisk(Msystems)....Lexar....Toshib... a PC interface of translation.

Sandisk sued Lexar for infringementand won. Where it was agreed as part of the settlement, that new variants of Lexar do not infringe.

Then Lexar sues Toshiba for infringement and wins with a 360 million judgement and license.

They fight over scraps and we sit on a whole new way of doing things.

Other's will cheat...
