Abstract
Description
-
- 1. In the use of the present core unit in a system requires that the enclosure dictate what functionality is available to the user. Flint requires that the cartridge and/or chassis do so.
- 2. The present core is designed for all applications and work modes.
- 3. The present system allows the enclosures to be designed for a single application or a work mode or multiple application/work mode.
- 4. Flint's cartridge and chassis are each designed for multiple application or work rrodes.
- 5. Flint is trying to duplicate computers, the present system is providing a computer function to environments that require it.
- 6. In the present system, the enclosures house all external peripheral connector ports.
- 7. Both Flint's cartridge and chassis house external peripheral connector ports.
- 8. The present core anticipates general computer processing in most if not all application or work modes.
- 9. Flint's cartridge only anticipates the use of a general CPU functionality and memory in all application or work modes.
- 10. Flint is in direct conflict with the objectives of the present invention. The present invention is trying to minimize the size of the system depending on the needed functionality. Flint is not concerned with this as evident in the aggressive use and the reliance of, PCMCIA slots to add functionality.
- 11. The system used with the core unit of this invention separates the processing functions of the computer from the external connector ports as well as the associated peripheral devices that plug into those ports.
- 12. The system used with the core unit of this invention does not rely on other interface modules other than power to be present in order for the system to operate.
- 13. Flint's cartridge does not require the chassis to provide power to their unit, it can be supplied by the cartridge itself or through a PCMCIA battery. (Col. 6
line 15.) The present system relies on the closure as a passthrough to supply the power. - 14. A user cannot expand capability of the core of the present invention. Adding functionality to the present core unit can only be done through the enclosure. Flint allows the ability to extend the cartridge capability by adding components to the cartridge. Example: Flint can extend the functionality of the cartridge by adding additional (4) PCMCIA ports using a second cartridge, see
FIG. 2 of Flint.
