Apple Inc. has asked the federal judge in Silicon Valley to add Samsung's Galaxy S4 to the list of devices that infringe upon its patents involving SIRI personal assistant. The new addition will be an important addition to the ongoing lawsuit which begins of June 25 before US District Court Judge Paul Grewal in the California city of San Jose. Attorney, Mark Lyon said in a motion filed ON May 21 on behalf of Apple, "Apple's infringement theories regarding the S4 are identical to Apple's infringement theories against the already accused products." The filing said that the Apple patents were infringed by voice-search capabilities in Android software used to power the Samsung smartphones, including Galaxy S4.

Apple has recently added five new patents against Samsung's latest Android smartphone Galaxy S4. Apple claimed that the phone has breached on five of its patents. The case is being heard in the U.S. District Court, San Jose Division. While two of these patents cover Siri's universal interface for retrieval of information in a computer system (8,086,604 and 6,847,959), another covers a graphical user interface using historical lists with field classes (5,666,502). The remaining two cover asynchronous data synchronization amongst devices (5,946,648), and a system and method for performing an action on a structure in computer-generated data (7,761,414).

Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd. announced that it is now supplying its solid state drive (SSD), the SM843T, for use in high-performance servers and storage in next-generation data centers, including Big Data systems. Samsung SM843T Solid State Drive Offers Nearly 1 terabyte of Memory Storage. The SM843T strengthens Samsung's SATA interface enterprise SSD product lineup. Offering up to 960 gigabytes (GB) of memory storage for faster and more efficient Big Data systems and cloud computing environments, the SM843T offers the advanced performance level for SATA 6.0 SSDs. When equipping enterprise servers in data centers with SM843T SSDs, IT managers will see a performance gain of 6 times and energy savings of 30% over the widely-used hard disk drives, enabling sharply improved system-level performance and greater energy efficiency at the same time. In addition, the SM843T protects the most recent data being processed from a sudden power interruption, for enhanced system reliability. Along with this power loss protection and Samsung's dedication to optimized systems, solutions and software technology, also referred as '3S Technology, the SM843T achieves the highest QoS (Quality of Service) level required by global cloud service providers and financial institutions. Through mass production of the SM843T, Samsung's competitive edge in the advanced PC market has expanded into the high value-added enterprise SSD market with the company providing highest quality solutions to its customers. The new Samsung SM843T line-up boasts high performance and endurance levels, respectively, reaching up to 98,000 (sustained) random read IOPS (Input/Output Operations Per Second) and 20,000 sequential TBW (Terabytes Written) with the 960GB model, while providing an ideal environment for Big Data systems.
