USB FLASH DRIVE

USB FLASH DRIVE
USB flash drives are NAND-type flash memory data storage devices integrated with a USB interface. They are typically small, lightweight, removable and rewritable. Memory capacity typically ranges from 8 megabytes up to 64 gigabytes [1], limited only by current flash memory densities. As capacity increases, so does price, to a point. As of 2006, more recent examples in the 1 to 4 GB range are little more expensive than the 128 MB versions available in 2002.
There are versions which use FireWire as well, but since the IEEE1394 standard is not as ubiquitous as USB, these are less common. USB flash drives have several advantages over other portable storage devices, particularly the floppy disk. They are generally faster, hold more data, and are considered more reliable (due to their lack of moving parts) than floppy disks. These types of drives use the USB mass storage standard, supported natively by modern operating systems such as Linux, Mac OS X, and Windows XP. A flash drive consists of a small printed circuit board encased in a robust plastic or metal casing, making the drive sturdy enough to be carried about in a pocket, as a keyfob, or on a lanyard. Only the USB connector protrudes from this protection, and is usually covered by a removable cap. Most flash drives use a standard type-A USB connection allowing them to be connected directly to a port on a personal computer.
Most flash drives are active only when powered by a USB computer connection, and require no other external power source or battery power source; they are powered using the limited supply afforded by the USB connection. To access the data stored in a flash drive, the flash drive must be connected to a computer, either by direct connection to the computer's USB port or via a USB hub.
The flash drive was first invented in 1998 by Dov Moran, President and CEO of M-Systems Flash Pioneers (Israel). Dan Harkabi, who is now a Vice President at SanDisk, led the development and marketing team at M-Systems. His most significant contribution was that the product be self-reliant and free of the need to install drivers. Nearly simultaneous development of similar products was undertaken at Netac and at Trek 2000, Ltd. All three companies have similar and disputed patents. IBM was the first North American seller of a USB flash drive, and marketed an 8 MB version of the product in 2001 under the "Memory Key" moniker. IBM later introduced a 16 MB version manufactured by Trek 2000, and returned to M-Systems for the 64 MB version in 2003. Lexar can also lay claim to a USB flash drive product. In 2000 they introduced a Compact Flash (CF) card having an internal USB function. Lexar offered a companion card reader and USB cable that eliminated the need for a USB hub.
Essential components
There are typically three parts to a flash drive:
Male type-A USB connector - provides an interface to the host computer.
USB mass storage controller - implements the USB host controller and provides a linear interface to block-oriented serial flash devices while hiding the complexities of block-orientation, block erasure, and wear balancing, or wear levelling, although drives that actually perform this in hardware are rare. The controller contains a small RISC microprocessor and a small amount of on-chip ROM and RAM.
NAND flash memory chip - stores data. NAND flash is typically also used in digital cameras.
Crystal oscillator - produces the device's main 12 MHz clock signal and controls the device's data output through a phase-locked loop.

Additional components
The typical device may also include:
Jumpers and test pins - for testing during the flash drive's manufacturing or loading code into the microprocessor.
LEDs - indicate data transfers or data reads and writes.
Write-protect switches - indicate whether the device should be in "write-protection" mode.
Unpopulated space - provides space to include a second memory chip. Having this second space allows the manufacturer to develop only one printed circuit board that can be used for more than one storage size device, to meet the needs of the market.
USB connector cover or cap - reduces the risk of damage due to static electricity, and improves overall device appearance. Some flash drives do not feature a cap, but instead have retractable USB connectors. Other flash drives have a "swivel" cap that is permanently connected to the drive itself and eliminates the chance of losing the cap.
Transport aid - In some cases, the cap contains the hole suitable for connection to a key chain or lanyard or to otherwise aid transport and storage of the USB flash device.

NAND flash memory chip
Principles of operation
Flash memory stores information in an array of floating gate transistors, called "cells", each of which traditionally stores one bit of information. Newer flash memory devices, sometimes referred to as multi-level cell devices, can store more than 1 bit per cell, by using more than two levels of electrical charge, placed on the floating gate of a cell.
In NOR flash, each cell looks similar to a standard MOSFET, except that it has two gates instead of just one. One gate is the control gate (CG) like in other MOS transistors, but the second is a floating gate (FG) that is insulated all around by an oxide layer. The FG is between the CG and the substrate. Because the FG is isolated by its insulating oxide layer, any electrons placed on it get trapped there and thus store the information. When electrons are on the FG, they modify (partially cancel out) the electric field coming from the CG, which modifies the threshold voltage (Vt) of the cell. Thus, when the cell is "read" by placing a specific voltage on the CG, electrical current will either flow or not flow, depending on the Vt of the cell, which is controlled by the number of electrons on the FG. This presence or absence of current is sensed and translated into 1's and 0's, reproducing the stored data. In a multi-level cell device, which stores more than 1 bit of information per cell, the amount of current flow will be sensed, rather than simply detecting presence or absence of current, in order to determine the number of electrons stored on the FG.
A NOR flash cell is programmed (set to a specified data value) by starting up electrons flowing from the source to the drain, then a large voltage placed on the CG provides a strong enough electric field to suck them up onto the FG, a process called hot-electron injection. To erase (reset to all 1's, in preparation for reprogramming) a NOR flash cell, a large voltage differential is placed between the CG and source, which pulls the electrons off through quantum tunneling. In single-voltage devices (virtually all chips available today), this high voltage is generated by an on-chip charge pump. Most modern NOR flash memory components are divided into erase segments, usually called either blocks or sectors. All of the memory cells in a block must be erased at the same time. NOR programming, however, can generally be performed one byte or word at a time.
NAND Flash uses tunnel injection for writing and tunnel release for erasing. NAND flash memory forms the core of the removable USB interface storage devices known as USB flash drives. As manufacturers increase the density of flash devices, individual cells shrink and the number of electrons in any cell becomes very small. Coupling between adjacent floating gates can change the cell write characteristics. New designs, such as charge trap flash, attempt to provide better isolation between adjacent cells.
Flash memory (both NOR and NAND types) was invented by Dr. Fujio Masuoka while working for Toshiba in 1984. According to Toshiba, the name 'Flash' was suggested by Dr. Masuoka's colleague, Mr. Shoji Ariizumi, because the erasure process of the memory contents reminded him of a flash of a camera. Dr. Masuoka presented the invention at the IEEE 1984 International Electron Devices Meeting (IEDM) held in San Jose, California. Intel saw the massive potential of the invention and introduced the first commercial NOR type flash chip in 1988.

Discovering you within you & Goals

Discovering you within you

Discovery is a term used in science and technology for representing the invention of a new concept, component, hypothesis or any thing which is new to that field. But discovering you within you is so difficult for human beings. The main reason is that they could not properly invent the ‘technology’ called mindset of a person which is controlling his day to day affairs. The human anatomy says that the body consists of millions of small tissues and cells. The balancing of the minute parts in a body keeps a person normal or abnormal. When the balance or equilibrium gets failed the mindset behaves so surprisingly. So discovering you is so important in order to build you a person with strong positive attitude, confidence, self satisfaction etc.

When you analyze the age of this planet earth you may get wonder to realize that it had been existing from more than 450 million years. And when you compare the normal life period of a human being life seems to be so small. With in a very small time span of say 70 to 80 years (an average life period) people tempt to do a lot more which may be harmful to others or to the world itself. Why that is happening?. Your character formation during the education period and the family background found to be playing a major role in that. But one thing is so sure that life is so small and is actually a mystery. The better you enjoy it that much you may be considered as successful. When you analyze the real time story of successful people across the world you may see that they were struggling at one period in their life time. But finally they could create wonders in their respective area of interest and contributed a lot more to the coming generations. The importance is that they never showed any element of negative attitude even though things were not going to the expected directions in the initial stages.


So as students selecting Engineering career you may have to think about yourself and open a new path which is challenging, satisfying and rewarding. Kindly observe the meaning of the sentence: Do not go where the path may lead you instead define a new path where others may follow you. This gives us a clear message that we may have to try for opening new paths in our career and life. In order to achieve it we will have to be a strong, self motivated person with self awareness about the good side and bad side of your particular life among the 100 million people with which you are sharing the resources in this world. Two things have to be given so importance in your life: 1) Observing what is happening everywhere you are dealing with 2) Get the real sprit of any experience you may get from your life

Observe: In order to discover you may have to analyze your good side and bad side and your response to incidents happening daily. When an accident happens in a public place you can see that a lot of people running here and there to do something because of the emergency situation. At the same time some of them will not be very interested to watch what is happening there. So if you are observing and studying 20 different people at this situation the result may be astonishing because you could experience 20 new characters. This clearly states that we all will act differently at any circumstance in our life. We shall frame some questions of some interesting nature. So which would be the better thing at that time ? - What shall I do when I would be a situation like that? – Was my attitude to that right?. Definitely these sorts of questions come to our mind in each and every second and we finally arrive at our solution. Why can’t we fix our solution to the best possible at every point of time? Let us consider a live example from life you may also had faced. When a beggar comes to our home we may sometimes reply so rudely to them. You may observe that some of them will respond even harsher than us. But in some cases you the person goes back from there silently with showing a body language that he/she is not affected by that. They go to the next person even with same style of confidence. How many of the well educated persons have this attitude when they gets failed in an interview and rejected by the employer? . So observing even a beggar will give you the right behavioral aspects to a situation. So let us observe others and get the good qualities they have.

Experience: Experience is sometimes more powerful than education. When you get experiencing something you are actually feeding the input, processing side and output of it to you brain. When you are again in to that same situation or similar incident you are recalling that form your permanent memory. This is a biological process from our childhood. But doing which is not apt for the occasion even though you are experienced with it is one of the biggest personal failures in life. You may read in news papers that drowned death is happening in beaches in important tourist spots even though security guards are provided to safeguard life. Why that is happening again and again and most time why youngsters are the victims of it. Even though sign boards showing danger signal are placed at many places we are not caring it. So experiences may help you to discover you with in you through a series of experimentations.


So make necessary steps always to improve up on yourself and when hard work combines to that nobody will be able to beat you. Give attention to success stories. Always think positively.
· To acquire knowledge, one must study; but to acquire wisdom, one must observe. [ Marilyn vos Savant ]
· Experience is that marvelous thing that enables you to recognize a mistake when you make it again.
[Franklin P. Jones]



Goal setting
When you play football the ultimate aim of a forward is to clout in to the nets of the opponent. Who is striking the most number of goals in a football match is the super star for the spectators. When life comes we have spectators in the form of parents, teachers, relatives, friends, well wishers etc. , may be simply watching from the gallery or giving us the full support. When expectations about us are not converted to reality it may be treated as failure in one way or in another way. And when failure happens continuously no body will be able to withstand the pressure comes in. You may take out the example of master blaster of Indian cricket Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar. At one time he was the one and only batsman who decides whether India should win or not in a match. When Sachin gets out the whole nation feels immensely bad. But when his consistency became an issue the media, selectors, may be coach itself started raising questions about his career. In 1990s it was not even in the night mare of an Indian. Struggling in life and career is not special for any body. Even people considered as successful around us also gets struggled and under pressure when things are not good. So as we are starting with a new course may be ‘Engineering’ we must have to be well planned and prepared to achieve the best out of it.

Dictionaries defines that the meaning of the word goal as aim, ambition, target, aspiration or objective. All these words are similar in nature but focus towards an achievement. When selecting an Engineering course you may have to identify the importance and specialties of the branch you have selected. Preparation before the course may help you to get a better idea. Some colleges offer a Preparation course to give you an idea about the important concept you may have to learn. Even verifying the curriculum is so important at times. When you go for MBA it will teach you to become a good manager, economical expert or good human resource management expert. But the nature of engineering course forces you to become a good designer, product designer, software developer or sometimes it may take out and nurture all abilities within you. We could watch from our experience that students considered as not satisfactory in studies performs excellently well in extra curricular activities. So setting a goal of our aptitude is so important. Every talent in a person needs to be properly nurtured and cared. The ultimate aim of education serves then only.

Once a goal is set we may have to take a lot of effort to maintain in being within the domains of that. For example when a student joins a course his/her ultimate aim is to get a job and look forward for a career in it. In order to get a job there are different methods available. Say in order to appear for campus interview by a good company you may have to be with constant percentage of marks (may be 70% aggregate from 10th standard onwards), good communication skill, soft skills etc. You may be knowing that from the initial stage itself and start doing things according to that. But when reaches nearly the actual time for appearing the test sometimes you would not be meeting those requirements. What happened here? . The student could not continue being sharpening towards the target. Whenever he/she fail to be within the domains that start producing a lot of pressure because of the dreams and expectations they have. This is taken out of live examples we have around us. So setting a goal is so easy but maintaining the means to achieve the goal is so important.

There are many reasons by which the mindset of student gets changed during the progress of a course. A few experienced cases are due to
· Change in home atmosphere
· Problems in hostel life
· Influence from friends those who are not ‘good’
· Over workloads
· Financial / personal problems
· Affairs / relationships getting failed etc.

Some students may not be able to withstand a small problem that may come in between and they tend to be sad, depressed and reserved all of a sudden. They may not be able to overcome this situations and moving more in to the troubles. Parents, teachers and friends and hostel wardens have a grate deal of things to do in these circumstances. When talking to your friends you may be getting more relaxed. When hearing music or praying to the god you believe in, it may be a relaxation. Identify the best method and be ready with that because you want to be only in the list of winners always. If you have good idea of your own you will be getting out of your problem and be good with your studies and be ready with every mischievous characters you may have. Your parents, teachers and friends everybody expects that to happen.

So set one goal which is the best in you mind and plan according to that. What ever may be coming in between should be treated according to its urgency and importance.
