Lexar Offers Royalty-Free Licensing for ActiveMemory Technology
You may or may not have heard of Lexar's ActiveMemory technology when it was announced PhotoKina, but Lexar have now made plans to license the technology on a royalty free basis to other manufacturers.
The concept behind ActiveMemory is this -- "ActiveMemory reserves a small piece of flash memory outside the normal DOS file system on a card. Application parameters and settings can be stored in this area and will not be lost or deleted." Applications for this include saving custom settings on cards which will be preserved after the data portion of the card is formatted.
Licensees to the technology will also be provided with a unique vendor code to access the protected portions of the memory system. Active Memory licenses will also be offered on a royalty bearing basis to digital media manufacturers who wish to incorporate the benefits of the ActiveMemory System in their product offerings.
