Design of hysteresis-compensating iterative learning control for piezo-positioners: Application to atomic force microscopes (2006, background): “For instance, in AFM-based high-density data storage, the probe tip is scanned repetitively back and forth across the sample surface while read/write operations are performed [3].”
A Survey of Control Issues in Nanopositioning (2007, background): “One of the most advanced approaches in probe-storage is based on a thermomechanical READ/WRITE process on thin polymer films [210], [211].”
Data-intensive applications, challenges, techniques and technologies: A survey on Big Data (2014, background): “The collective behavior of individuals that cooperate in a swarm provide approach to achieve self-organization in distributed systems [124,184].”
Overview of emerging nonvolatile memory technologies (2014, background): “In 2002, IBM developed a punch card system known as Millipede, which is a nonvolatile computer memory stored in a thin polymer sheet with nanoscopic holes to provide a simple way to store binary data [155].”
Present and Future Non-Volatile Memories for Space (2010, methodology): “MEMS-like probe to store information, is another interesting approach [179], promising data density of more than 1 Tbit per inch.”
