		(U3 drives work with Windows 2000 SP4 or later, and all versions of Windows XP.) Unlike a standard USB drive, the U3 drive is assigned two drive letters, one for a small (4 MB) read-only area, and a second for the rewritable area of the drive.
		The U3 drive tricks Windows into thinking that the read-only partition is a CD-ROM drive, which lets the drive use AutoPlay to run the U3 LaunchPad application launcher as soon as the key is inserted.
		Your U3 applications are shown on the left and various commands for managing the drive appear on the right.

	SanDisk's U3 Scores Skype [Fool.com: Motley Fool Take] July 12, 2006
		The U3 platform, codeveloped by SanDisk and the modestly named M-Systems Flash Disk Pioneers (Nasdaq: FLSH), is an open standard allowing software developers to package their products in a way that lets users carry all their files and programs on a single USB drive, accessible from any computer.
		For instance, if you install the U3 version of the Firefox browser on your SanDisk Cruzer, you can run it with all your settings and bookmarks on any PC with an open USB port, whether it's a lab computer at your school, your home PC, or your laptop.
		U3 drives use some very Windows-specific trickery for this feat, convincing the operating system that part of the USB drive is really a CD-ROM, so that the manager application can start automatically every time you plug the drive in.

		U3 is a platform for developing applications that install to and execute from USB flash drives.
		I haven't actually used any U3 apps yet, but having bought a "U3 Smart" drive at OfficeMax (the SanDisk Cruzer Micro 512M), I became interested in the unique way these U3 drives present themselves as two separate disks, so that the U3 software is write-protect and can auto-run on Windows machines.

	Imp3p and Imp4p mediate formation of essential U3-precursor rRNA (pre-rRNA) duplexes, possibly to recruit the small ...
		The secondary structure of the U3 snoRNA was derived from chemical protection experiments (37); missing regions of the secondary structure of the pre-rRNA fragment are dashed.
		Helix 1a (nucleotides 4–39) and helix 1b' (nucleotides 47–63) of the U3 snoRNA are not shown because formation of the U3 snoRNA–pre-rRNA base-pairing interactions is expected to replace these structural elements (37, 38).
