''broad claims...

1. First to create a digital voice recorder.

2. First to introduce a serial(NAND) removable flash memory.

3. First to implement a digital switch assembly

IMO most important defined claims...

1. First to implement a scheme utilizing minimally sized cache to match a single read / write block , for what ever media...in this case flash.

2. First to implement the streaming ability of a minimally sized cache as it relates to the proprietary data segment orchestration, or dule schemes for advanced streaming.

3. First to implement this type of abstract logical to physical overlay, with an ability of storing the data segments to primary memory in a manner consistent with an industry standard data storage format while retaining linking between data segments created in previous steps. Adaptable to the attributes of currently existing OS's.....so that it may be considered hardware independent...allowing portability.

4. First to utilize a boundary of secondary memory blocks within a flash, for work space purpose and prior saved file editing. Enabling the modifications of prior data segment structures, insert, delete...etc

5 First to implement a switch assembly and related functions in the manner they are addressed through the API of their proprietary firmware / Operating system.
