The Storage and Retrieval of Information
1978The use of the computer as a tool for information processing has been stressed throughout this book. Ready access to information is an essential prerequisite to its rapid processing by the computer — and for this reason much work has gone into the development of large-capacity and rapid-access storage devices. In these efforts to store away information

The evolution of information storage and heredity
Trends in Ecology & Evolution, 1995Many important transitions in evolution are associated with novel ways of storing and transmitting information. The storage of information in DNA sequence, and its transmission through DNA replication, is a fundamental hereditary system in all extant organisms, but it is not the only way of storing and transmitting information, and has itself replaced,

Publisher Summary This chapter focuses on information storage. The computer in the machine tool control unit has a program specifically written to handle information to operate the machine. The information required is provided in the part program that contains the necessary data on tools, movements of work and tool, and mode of operation for each ...

Information storage and display
Journal of the American Society for Information Science, 1981AbstractThis perspective on information storage and display reviews the latest technologies and then, taking a broader view, discusses the current understanding of access schemes and cognitive processing to argue the thesis that over the next decade information science will concentrate less on the new tools and more on how they can or should be used ...

Information Storage Technologies
2009The world produces more than 12 exabytes (12 billion gigabytes or 12 × 1018 bytes) of information eachsa year of which over 90% is stored on magnetic media including magnetic tape, automated tape, disk and virtual storage (defined in the entry body).

Rehearsal and storage of visual information.
Journal of Experimental Psychology, 1972before each test. Two modes of presentation were employed differing in whether exposure time within a series was constant (uniform rate) or variable (mixed rate). Noting the absence of mode-of-prese ntation effects, serial position effects, and sequential dependencies, Potter and Levy concluded that pictures are processed one by one for exactly the ...

The advances in magnetic recording which have enabled storage density to increase by more than 50, 000 times in 35 years are described. The fundamental principles of magnetic and magneto-optic recording are discussed. Current implementations of these technologies are presented, and future trends are projected. Storage densities of 1 Gbit/in2 are likely

Coding for Information Storage
2013Storage systems are widely used and have played a crucial rule in both consumer and industrial products, for example, personal computers, data centers, and embedded systems. However, such system suffers from issues of cost, restricted-lifetime, and reliability with the emergence of new systems and devices, such as distributed storage and flash memory ...

Nature, 1987
Whether energy is necessarily dissipated in computer operations remains an open question. The development of optical computers should help decide the question.

Storage of Information about Time
Perceptual and Motor Skills, 1965An experiment is described in which the detrimental effects of an auxiliary task on reaction time to periodically presented light stimuli were studied. RT stimuli were presented periodically to one group of Ss throughout the experiment and aperiodically to another.
