Defendants’ Proposed Construction
Court’s Construction
1.
A method of memory management for a primary memory created from a non-volatile, long-term storage medium, said method enabling direct manipulation of contiguous and non-contiguous discrete data segments stored therein by a file system, and comprising the steps of:
(a)
creating the primary memory from a non-volatile, long-term storage medium, wherein the primary memory comprises a plurality of blocks in which the data segments are to be stored;
(b)
coupling a cache

(c) writing a new data segment from the
cache memory to the primary memory by linking said new data segment to a sequentially previous logical data segment by the following steps:
(1) receiving the new data segment in the
cache memory ;
(2) moving the new data segment from the
cache memory to a next available space within primary memory such that the new

(4)
creating a logical link between the previous logical data segment and the new data segment such that the logical link provides a path for sequentially accessing the data segments within the primary memory;
