A printer includes an access module to control access among different participants, one participant at a time, to at least some encrypted parts of a composite document print job located at the printer.

Printing composite documents

A composite document comprises a publicly posted composite document including a plurality of parts, a map-file for each participant in a workflow associated with the composite document, and a set of encryption keys. The encryption keys are associated with at least one of the plurality of parts and distributed via the map file to the participants. At least one of the parts of the composite document, associated with the encryption keys, includes workflow processing instructions. The workflow processing instructions are enactable by the multifunction printer independent of a server and automate at east some steps of the workflow for participant at the multifunction printer via resident functions of the multifunction printer.

Methods, computer-readable media, and systems are provided for dynamically installing an image processing filter. One method for dynamically installing an image processing filter includes starting to obtain image information by infrastructure of an image processing device and processing the obtained image information with an application. After starting to obtain image information, receiving an operating system (OS) application programming interface (API) allowing just-in-time (JIT) bytecode to be executed as a filter during processing the obtained image information.

A memory card that includes a buffer configured to receive transactions, a storage media, and a control circuit coupled to the buffer and the storage media is provided. The control circuit is configured to cause a clock signal to be provided to the buffer and the storage media at a clock rate that varies in dependence on a detected rate of the transactions received by the buffer.

System and method for setting a clock rate in a memory card

A method, data structure, and system for storing memory card usage information on a memory card is provided. The method includes a step of collecting information about usage. The method also includes the steps of recording the information about usage in an area of the memory card, and accessing the information about usage.

Method to store and retrieve memory card usage information

A system comprises a storage controller for managing transfers of data between a host and storage memory; a data mover coupled to the storage controller handling data transferred between a host and storage memory; and a buffer coupled to the data mover for storing data being transferred. The storage controller modifies operation of the storage system based on status of the data transfer. An associate method comprises transferring data between a host and storage memory via a storage system, and dynamically adjusting operation of the storage system depending on status of the data transfer.

System having a storage controller that modifies operation of a storage system based on the status of a data transfer

A system-on-a-chip is described herein. The system-on-a-chip includes a microprocessor, a non-volatile imperfect semiconductor memory device and a memory controller. The memory controller is configured to transfer device data between the microprocessor and the non-volatile semiconductor imperfect memory device.

System on a chip having a non-volatile imperfect memory

A device comprises a memory array in which a plurality of codewords is stored. Each codeword comprises an error correction code and a data block that comprises a plurality of units of data. The device further comprises an error code correction module coupled to the memory array. When multiple units of data are to be read from the device for an address, a codeword stored in a location associated with the address is fetched from the memory array, the error code correction module decodes the codeword and corrects any errors in the data block for that codeword, and the multiple units of data are read from the corrected data block.

Assisted memory device for reading and writing single and multiple units of data

Data storage systems and methods for writing data into a memory component and reading data from the memory component are disclosed. By utilizing a high-speed data controller, the systems and methods transfer data at a fast data transfer rate. In one implementation, the memory component comprises a memory controller for managing data within the memory component. The memory controller comprises the high-speed data controller and a data manager. The data manager comprises a compression/decompression engine that compresses and decompresses data and a storage device interface.

System for quickly transferring data

Systems and methods of information transfer are disclosed. In one embodiment, the system may comprise a master device and a slave device coupled by a bus in which clock information is embedded in the data stream. Various flow control techniques may be used to compensate for differences in transfer rates supported by the master and slave devices. Two types of synchronization fields may be employed to establish and maintain clock acquisition. The master device may transfer information to the slave device using a sync field of a first type followed by a first data packet, and the slave device may respond to each data packet with a sync field of a second, different type, followed by a status ready field if no additional time is needed before receiving another data packet.

Information transfer protocol having sync fields of different lengths

A memory card includes at least one magnetic random access memory supported by a substrate, and a memory card cover disposed over the magnetic random access memory and the substrate to form a memory card, wherein at least one of the substrate and the memory card cover includes magnetic shielding to at least partially shield the magnetic random access memory from external magnetic fields, the memory card cover forming an external portion of the memory card.

Magnetic shielding for magnetic random access memory card

Disclosed herein are systems and apparatuses having memories with a multiple buffer memory interface. In one embodiment, an integrated memory device comprises: a memory array integrated on a substrate, and a multiple buffer memory interface integrated on the same substrate. The memory interface comprises multiple read buffers each associated with a different region of the memory array and configured to buffer only data for read operations on the associated region.

Multiple buffer memory interface

A removable data storage device is provided that is used with electronic devices using compact data storage capabilities. The removable data storage device includes memory for storing data files and a file management information that includes memory allocation information of the memory. A scan logic is provided that analyzes the file management information and generates file usage data of the memory. With th present invention, a removable data storage device can self-analyze its memory contents and determine, for example, types of files and memory space consumed by each file type in the memory.

Removable data storage device having file usage system and method

A memory card controller controls the file allocation table and file system structures of a memory card, in order to speed up data transfer to and from the memory card and a host device, such as a digital camera. The memory card controller includes a memory to store the file allocation table, and a processor to update the file allocation table and file system structures based on access commands received from the host device.

Memory controller for memory card manages file allocation table
