Many USB Bluetooth adapters or " dongles " are available, some of which also include an IrDA adapter.

Computer files can be also stored on other media in some cases, such as magnetic tapes, compact discs, Digital Versatile Discs, Zip drives, USB flash drives, etc.

New features also include USB 3. 0 support, the Windows Store, the ability to run from USB drives with Windows To Go, and others.

Later versions of the Highway products also included built-in Universal serial bus ( USB ) sockets for direct computer access.

FireWire also scans, or detects incoming messages, eight times faster than does USB.

A PAN may also be carried over wired computer buses such as USB and FireWire.

Some PDAs also have a USB port, mainly for USB flash drives.

There are also many turntables on the market designed to be plugged into a computer via a USB port for needle dropping purposes.

** USB flash drive ( also known as a " thumb drive " or " keydrive ")

The distinction between external tuner or demodulator boxes ( traditionally considered to be " set-top boxes ") and storage devices ( such as VCR, DVD, or disc-based PVR units ) is also blurred by the increasing deployment of satellite and cable tuner boxes with hard discs, network or USB interfaces built-in.

USB may also refer to:

Windows 2000 also introduced USB device class drivers for USB printers, Mass storage class devices, and improved FireWire SBP-2 support for printers and scanners, along with a Safe removal applet for storage devices.

A USB Phone TSP ( Telephony Service Provider ) was also included which allows an application to control a USB phone and use it as a streaming endpoint.

Some camcorders also feature a USB 2. 0 port for computer connection.

The TI-89 Titanium also has a USB On-The-Go port, for connectivity to other TI-89 Titanium calculators, or to a computer ( to store programs or update the operating system ).

For example, if the last local drive is drive D: and we have assigned to a network drive as E :, then when we connect a USB mass storage device it will also be assigned drive E: causing loss of connectivity with either the network share or the USB device.

Even when the unconnected network drive is not the next available drive letter, Windows XP may be unable to map a drive and this error may also prevent the mounting of the USB device.

WIA also includes support for USB still image capture device classes such as scanners and cameras through the Picture Transfer Protocol.

The Cube also featured two FireWire ports and two USB ports for connecting peripherals.

When a user inserts a CD-ROM into a drive or attaches a USB camera, Windows detects the arrival and starts a process of examining the device or searching the medium.

As of 2007, virtually all motherboards come with at least four USB ports on the rear, with at least 2 connections on the board internally for wiring additional front ports that may be built into the computer case.

USB depends on the CPU to manage its transmission, which causes 2 to 10 ms, or about 2 to 10 MIDI commands, of additional latency and jitter.

The SA-1101 provided additional peripherals to complement those integrated on the SA-1100 such as a video output port, two PS / 2 ports, a USB controller and a PCMCIA controller that replaces that on the SA-1100.

additional optical disc drives ( MSCDEX ), PCMCIA / PC Card drives, USB or Firewire drives, or network drives.

In order to support the same sort of device-to-device connection, USB requires additional support in dual-role devices to emulate a host and provide similar functionality.

When the " Assabet " board is combined with the " Neponset " companion processor board they provide support for 32 megabytes of SDRAM in addition to CompactFlash and PCMCIA slots along with an I2S or AC-Link serial audio bus, PS / 2 mouse and trackpad interfaces, a USB host controller and 18 additional GPIO pins.

DDC2Ab is an implementation of the I²C-based 100 kbit / s ACCESS. bus interface, which allowed monitor manufacturers to support external ACCESS. bus peripherals such as a mouse or keyboard with little to no additional effort ; such devices and monitors were briefly available in the mid 1990s, but disappeared with the introduction of USB.

It also differs from previous models because it includes additional memory storage, convenient SD card memory modules, USB port, colour graphical display, and a longer lasting NiMH battery.

Unlike its predecessor the Natural Pro, the 4000 does not include USB ports for additional devices such as a mouse.

Most modern TVs also feature additional inputs for devices such as DVD players, video game consoles, and headphones ; the most common types for analog audio and analog video are RCA ( for composite video and component video ), mini-DIN for S-Video, SCART and D-terminal can be found in Europe and Japan respectively, the newer HDMI ( which can also connect to computers ), USB and Bluetooth.

Hi-MD units are powered by the USB bus when connected — just like USB flash drives, they do not require additional power ( and do not use their own battery power ) when plugged in to a computer.

In Linux beyond generic driver for all devices conforming to USB mass storage device class, there are quirks, bug-fixes and additional functionalities for various devices, controllers and vendors to enable more functions ( like ATA command pass-through for ATA-USB bridges, useful for S. M. A. R. T.

Such drivers are necessary to make full use of the device ( usually because the device does not fit any of the standard USB classes, or has additional functionality ).

An embedded USB mass storage device makes it possible to install additional drivers without the need for any CD-ROM disks, floppies or Internet access to vendor web site.

Many recent models implement the USB video device class standard and work under Mac OS without additional drivers.

There is also a small amount of additional heat generated inside the laptop being cooled as the USB power supply has to output an additional couple of watts.

Some higher-end HTIB models offer additional features such as 1080i video resolution upscaling, a 5-disc platter, HDMI inputs, USB connectivity, Bluetooth support, Wifi support, iPod dock and a hard disk.

It also features integrated Samba file sharing and additional support for Windows Media Player Formats and H. 264 and improved support for USB devices, among other incremental UI improvements ( particularly in the direction of finger-friendliness ).

Griffin introduced additional USB devices, such as iMic and PowerMate, over the next two years, and continued to enjoy moderate growth during this period.

The first version came in two different models, " Legacy free " which had no parallel, serial, or PS / 2 ports and instead 3 additional USB ports on the back ; and the traditional one which included the parallel, serial, and PS / 2 ports but only had USB ports on the front.

USB 3G / GPRS modems use a terminal-like interface over USB 1. 1, 2. 0 and later, data formats V. 42bis, and RFC 1144 and some models have connector for external antenna.

* USB 2. 0 controller supporting up to 12 USB ports

As a result, FireWire performs sustained transfers at a faster rate than even USB 2. 0, despite the latter's nominal speed advantage.

Starting with the NW-S series, Walkmans feature Sony's new proprietary port called WM-PORT which is a USB 2. 0 compliant 22-pin connector.

Low-and full-speed USB data is sent NRZI encoded: a 0 bit causes a signal transition, while a 1 bit causes no change.

USB stuffs a 0 bit ( causing a transition ) after every 6 consecutive 1 bits ; this guarantees at least one transition every 7 bit times.

USB transmitters insert a 0 bit after six consecutive 1 bits.

ExpressCard is a later specification from the PCMCIA, intended as a replacement for PC Card, built around the PCI Express and USB 2. 0 standards.

The ExpressCard, which replaced the PC Card, contains a PCIe 1x and a USB 2. 0 interface.

USB 2. 0 is currently part of the ExpressCard interface and USB 3. 0 is part of the ExpressCard 2. 0 standard.

More recently, the GNU Radio using primarily the Universal Software Radio Peripheral ( USRP ) uses a USB 2. 0 interface, an FPGA, and a high-speed set of analog-to-digital and digital-to-analog converters, combined with reconfigurable free software.

Interface to a PC is provided by a USB 2. 0 interface though Ethernet could be used as well.
