| | Solid-state camera employing non-volatile charge storage elements - Patent 4025910 |
| | Further, in a computer system, many storage elements 101 and associated circuits can be grown on a small chip; such elements can be provided with information for storage in microseconds; and the erase function of all the storage elements can be accomplished by applying an electric pulse to the LED 9. | | | While the charge storage mechanism need not be explained, a detailed analysis is made in said article and that analysis shows that storage is most likely in the interface states between the oxide layer 2 and the semiconductor substrate 1. | | | The change in capacitance can be sensed as hereinafter explained, and such change can serve as a basis for information storage in a digital computer system, but the changes can provide storage information for an analog system as well. |

| | volatile or non-volatile, which is based on the technology (magnetic vs. electrical, etc.). | | | The terms "storage" and "memory" refer to the parts of a digital computer that retain physical state (data) for some interval of time, possibly even after electrical power to the computer is turned off. | | | An analogy is to think of the storage as human memory, with the hard disk as long-term memory, and the RAM as short-term memory. |

| | Protection circuit for storage of volatile data - Patent 4247913 |
| | 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. | | | 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. | | | 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. |

| | Non-volatile storage device refresh time detector - US Patent 5852582 |
| | Each non-volatile storage device is an integrated circuit and generally includes an array of memory cells, where each cell stores a bit of information, and also includes other logic for reading the stored information. | | | Many non-volatile storage devices are also programmable and/or erasable, and thus also include logic for performing program and erase functions. | | | In one embodiment of the invention in order to conduct a refresh of memory array 610, the contents of memory array 610 are read into a RAM or other storage device located on or apart from non-volatile device 600 and then the information is reprogrammed into memory array 610. |
