Abstract
The portable memory module disclosed herein is constructed in a compact cylindrical form facilitating its use in oceanographic and environmental data acquisition environments. Individual integrated circuit memory components are carried and interconnected by a flexible printed circuit, the components being oriented in columns with pin lines parallel to the axis of a cylindrical battery casing to permit the circuit to be rolled around that casing. The battery casing and rolled printed circuit are then inserted in a protective outer casing, also cylindrical.
Claims6
A portable memory module comprising:
- a cylindrical outer casing;
- a cylindrical inner casing generally concentric with said outer casing;
- between said inner and outer casings, a rolled, flexible printed circuit carrying and interconnecting a multiplicity of integrated circuit memory components;
- and
- within said inner casing, a battery for powering said memory components.
A portable memory module comprising:
- a cylindrical outer casing;
- a cylindrical inner casing generally concentric with said outer casing;
- between said inner and outer casings, a helically rolled printed circuit carrying and interconnecting a multiplicity of dual-in-line integrated circuit memory components oriented in columns with the pin lines parallel to the axes of said casings;
- and
- within said inner casing, a battery for powering said memory components.
A portable memory module comprising:
- a cylindrical outer casing;
- a cylindrical inner casing generally concentric with said outer casing;
- an end cap closing off said inner and outer casings at one end;
- between said inner and outer casings, a helically rolled flexible printed circuit carrying and interconnecting a multiplicity of dual-in-line integrated circuit memory components oriented in columns with the pin lines parallel to the axes of said casings;
- an annular cap closing off, at the other ends of said casings, the space between said casings
- within said inner casing, a battery for powering said memory components;
- and a removable cap for closing off the other end of said inner casing.
