Solid-state camera employing non-volatile charge storage elements - Patent 4025910 Changes in the charge storage in each of the elements results in changes in the capacitance of the element; either the capacitance of the element or its charge state is sensed to indicate the state of the element for information storage purposes. The storage element 101 is originally at the capacitance value labeled A; a forward bias V.sub.B moves it to point B and, when the bias is removed, it moves to point C. It will then slowly relax from point C to point A (in a time period of 10.sup.5 seconds or more). A solid-state camera as claimed in claim 1 wherein a change of state of a storage element form a stable state to a quasi-stable state effects a change in the transconductance of the storage element and in which the means for sensing includes means for sensing any change in the transconductance of individual storage elements. www.freepatentsonline.com /4025910.html   (3303 words)

Protection circuit for storage of volatile data - Patent 4247913 This storage of volatile data can be utilized, for example, in the case of the occurrence of a failure in the power source which supplies power to the data system. A similar need for storage of volatile data exists with respect to smaller computer systems, for example microprocessor systems, but cost consideration for user devices employing smaller computers or microprocessors often prevents use of the volatile memory storage techniques employed in larger computers. In case of an interruption of the power to microprocessor 24 and associated components (not shown) of the data system, volatile data in process in the microprocessor can be shifted into shift register 10 for storage, as it will continue to be powered by the energy stored in capacitor 20. www.freepatentsonline.com /4247913.html   (3861 words)

LGL - Object Persistence Clear separation of concerns: The persistent object does not know about storage devices or about the data format that is used when writing the state of the object onto the storage device and vice versa. Stable storage ensures that under certain assumptions stored data will never be corrupted, even in the presence of application crashes and other failures. The kind of storage to be used for saving application data depends heavily on the application requirements. lglwww.epfl.ch /research/ongoing/persistence.html   (557 words)

EPA: Federal Register: Standards of Performance for Volatile Organic Liquid Storage Vessels (Including Petroleum Liquid Storage Vessels) for Which Construction, Reconstruction, or Modification Commenced After July 23, 1984 The performance standards implement section 111 of the CAA and are based on the Administrator's determination that volatile organic liquid (VOL) storage vessels cause or contribute significantly to air pollution which may reasonably be anticipated to endanger public health or welfare. The priority list had previously included storage vessel source categories only for the petroleum industry and the synthetic chemical manufacturing industry, confirming what is already clear from the proposed rule's text--it applies to industries other than chemical and petroleum. The commenter stated that storage tanks outside the chemical and petroleum industries were not considered when determining the economic impacts of the proposed standards. www.epa.gov /fedrgstr/EPA-AIR/2003/October/Day-15/a24774.htm   (4062 words)

Zvon - RFC 2975 [Introduction to Accounting Management] - Scaling and reliability Without non-volatile storage, the polling model results in loss of accounting data due to device reboots, but not due to packet loss or network failures of sufficiently short duration to be handled within available memory. For devices without non-volatile stage, this is typically determined by available memory; for devices with non- volatile storage the maximum polling interval is determined by the size of non-volatile storage. In accounting systems without non-volatile storage, accounting data must be stored in volatile memory during the period between when it is generated and when it is transferred. www.zvon.org /tmRFC/RFC2975/Output/chapter2.html   (4967 words)

juggling_with_packets.txt The medium can be used for memory-expensive operations, as a regular storage, or for handling certain types of sensitive data that are expected not to leave a physical trail on a hard disk or other non-volatile media. The storage is not suitable for critical data that should be preserved at all costs, due to the risk of data being lost on network failure. As opposed to traditional methods of parasitic data storage (P2P abuse, open FTP servers, binary Usenet postings), the use of this medium may or may not leave a trail of data (depending on a solution used) and specifically does not put any single system under a noticable load. lcamtuf.coredump.cx /juggling_with_packets.txt   (2157 words)

Crash Control Data in non-volatile storage is generally not lost unless there is a catastrophic failure of the storage device itself (e.g. A full backup (dump) makes a copy of the complete database to some non-volatile storage medium, which is then removed from the system and stored in a safe place. In particular, power failures, most hardware failures, and many software crashes will cause data in volatile storage to be lost. www.cs.gordon.edu /courses/cs352/lectures-2004/crashcon.html   (3346 words)

The Volatile Storage Qualifier The volatile qualifier instructs the compiler to read the value of the variable from its source (in this case, the modem port) every time it is accessed, instead of storing it in a faster processor register. The compiler can mistakenly assume that the value is immutable and store it in a machine register as an optimization measure, rather than read it from the modem's port. The generated code may be less efficient in this case, but it is correct. www.devx.com /tips/Tip/5667   (222 words)
