INTELLIPAPER INTRODUCED WIRELESS, SMART AND DISPOSABLE USB DRIVE

USB drives have occupied an integral part of our lives. We now no more need to carry our important documents and files in hard copy along with us instead that hassle is been solved with the smart introduction of USB drives. But USB drives often have a problem associated with them. They often break or lost and thus the whole data within them is lost. But now technology has stepped one step further and now we can much efficiently carry our data without any problems and difficulties. This is made possible by Intellipaper. The major advantage of such a USB drive is that you can throw it after its use.

Intellipaper introduced USB Drive

USB drive is made up of paper

Intellipaper introduced a flash drive which is based on use and throw concept. The engineers of the company have used an embedded silicon chip to convert a normal paper into a USB storage device with much intelligence. Intellipaper was working on this project since quite a long time and after a huge struggle and trials, finally a design is now made out of it. Electronic engineers have developed a technique which is now the patent of Intellipaper in which a whole structure of electronic components shape so as to give the paper the shape of USB drive.

Will it work as normal USB?

This USB made out of thick paper (as thick as card stock) will work like a normal USB. You can use it till the paper and contacts within the drive are in working condition. You can easily copy and move files from and onto the USB with the normal procedure. The exact memory capacity of the USB is not yet revealed but it would be somewhere in the range of 8 – 32 MB.

Special reader required to read the USB

A special type of software is needed to upload the data over USB. Also this software can delete the data as well.But, the data present in USB is not gone easily. Intellipaper will provide the software for the easy usage of its USB. However, if you don’t wants to destroy or limit its life by injecting and ejecting it in ports, it can function within some prescribed range wireless too! Intellipaper further added that the USB will be made available to its customers by mid 2013.

Multiple uses

Such a paper USB based drive would have million uses in future. Since it is quite inexpensive tourists may use it for sending photos. It could also be used by companies and schools for exchanging documents.

Paper is now smarter too!
