Systems and methods for safely moving short term memory devices while preserving, protecting and examining their digital data

摘要

The present invention provides a method for safely recovering, protecting, and reading short term memory devices, such as DRAM modules, following their immediate removal from a system after it powers down. By providing power and appropriate control signals, the present invention stabilizes the memory and allows it to be safely read.

主权项

1. A short term memory protection, maintenance and reading device that accepts chilled short term memory from a target machine for the purpose of preserving and protecting said short term memory, comprising:
a. one or more memory sockets; b. logic and circuitry coupled to the memory sockets configured to detect when a short term memory is inserted into a memory socket, and configured to provide power and control signals required to maintain the integrity of the short term memory upon detection wherein said logic and circuitry is configured to not write to the short term memory, and; c. a data port.
