When a USB device is inserted, it compresses a
spring which then latches.
When the device is "stopped" a solenoid releases
the spring, physically ejecting the device.
The DeLuxe version has a servomotor instead of a
spring, giving controlled ejection speeds.
The Super DeLuxe Premium version,
developed in conjunction with Morton Thiokol, Martin-Baker, Smith & Wesson and Al-Quaeda, uses extruded double-base nitrocellulose propellant instead of a servomotor and/or
spring, giving entirely uncontrolled ejection speeds.*
*Void where prohibited. Not recommended for use indoors. May cause death or serious injury if used correctly.

Oooh, and you could play the sound of an old Mac
ejecting a floppy! |
|

Is this for use with silver-tipped USB sticks, as some kind of undead-repellant? |
|
| |
I ask purely out of curiosity. |
|
| |
Silver tipped, garlic-impregnated wooden
stake … "Van Helsing" brand, ask for it by
name… |
|

[xav], yes, we have looked at that but
crucially the Prior Art makes no reference to
servo control. |
|
| |
[xen], this is built into the host device, thus
saving space & mass in the peripheral - not
the same. |
|
| |
This would be great if it found a corrupted file and
made the sound of a cat coughing up a fur ball or a
"ptuei!" sound as it shot it out. |

And by the way, to anybody else that comes up with an idea that gives computers a little more personality. |

We hope you're not suggesting building systems with Genuine People Personalities, [doc] ... <link> |

This would of course sort out those annoying devices that automatically reconnect whenever they detect that they are not connected - such as immediately after you 'eject' them. (A herring sandwich! I like herring sandwiches.) |
|
| |
I thought you were meant to just pull them out, and then click the thankyou button that the computer shows you afterwards? |
