Memory Definition and 309 Threads

Tsu and I have some up with a great technique. Because I have an office located about 400 feet from our house, I am always forgetting to either bring something up to the house, or to take something down to the office. So the technique works like this: Tsu tells me to bring something up to the...

Has anyone used any proven memory techniques in Maths and Physics? I am learning about them now - they are very useful for remembering tangible words, but can they be used to remember mathematical theorems and proofs say? Anybody tried and had any success? My problem is that after learning a...

Why, with a 32-bit adress bus , we can only have a maximum of 4 GB RAM memory?

I am involved in a legal case and I need to know some things about flash drives. 1. Does anyone know if it is possible to find out for sure exactly when a file was saved onto a flash drive? I know that you can acess the "Date Created" and "Date Modified" information through by right...

It is a Veritech 2GB flash memory.. I tried it on some computers.. they recognize it, but when I double click it to open it, it doesn't open and a message box says that it's not formatted, do you want to format it?... I tried to scan it by antivirus but nothing appeared... I tried to format it...

Marijuana isn't known for being a friend to memory; its short-term effects notoriously impair recall. And although the data is conflicting, some studies link cannabis with memory deficits in those who use excessive doses for long periods of time But new research suggests that one of the active...

Hi, I am using Comsol with Matlab. I have a loop in my M-file. And it seems that the memory usage of my program increases as the loop increases.. It is a very intensive program, so after a while, the program stops because there is no more memory. For example, I am running this program on 1 CPU...

It's a common observation that sometimes the slightest occurrances are remebered by us for entires lives while we forget relatively important things quite soon. Why is this so? Why can't we remember other things just like these trivial things? Is our brain working at some extraordinary...

hello, I have a small 2x2cm board camera that I want to add video storage capability (about 10 seconds of video at VGA resolution). How much would this increase the size of the camera? and approximately how much would it cost. Thank you.

Not sure if this is a security problem or not. We did a bunch of security scans and none of them came up with anything suspicious. We're just wondering what might be going on with this. After leaving the computer on for some time (a few hours), the memory on my friend's computer (he uses Windows...

I've learned about memory B and T cells. I'm wondering how many of each a person has for a specific antigen? How long do they live?

This weekend I attended a memorial service for the father of my best friend from High school. After my father died young, he became my second father. He was a very good man, always has a smile and good story to share. One of those stories seem appropriate to share with folks on this forum...

So, what does medical science say about photographic memory? Are there any medical reasons for having such memory or is it just natural without any specific explanation?

Hi guys For a science fair project, I am going to test the effects of X-radiation on flash memory. I'm intending to fill a number of 16MB (15,876,096 byte) Compactflash cards with data, hash check the data with hkSFV, expose them to the radiation and hash check again for any data corruption...

I have been writing a program to compute and change a value a great number of times and writes each value into a file I did this by continuously storing each value (which is a 7 element vector) into an array, and then writing that into a file using the cvswrite function The problem I am...

I have bought this memory for my laptop that does not work, the bios beeps. It appears the online shop has sent the wrong type. Can someone tell me the characteristics of this memory? It's got 8 pairs of ICs, the first one of each pair is labeled: PC312 -6A 0806 5HN2 (printed sideways)...

Recently I heard someone mentioning a new invention, a kind of resistor with memory which was the missing link in artificial intelligence. A kind of analog computer if you will. The resistor somehow remembers in what state it has been in. I was very interested in what he said but I didn't...

Hmm, how fundamentally important is this device? http://www.pcworld.com/businesscenter/article/145365/hp_researchers_build_intelligent_memory.html http://www.physorg.com/news128786808.html Sounds like it could enable electronics to obsolete us ;)

I would like to put my queries in the form of quesitons: 1- Why are there differences in the intelligence level of people? Why is some person a genius and other a dumb of below-average intelligent? 2- Is it possible to improve the memory? 3- Is it possible to increase the brain usage...

Refresh my memory please, Inverse Trig x=\sin^{-1}\left(-\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}\right) Inverse sine is defined from -\frac{\pi}{2} to \frac{\pi}{2} which lies in the 1st and 4th quadrant. So x=-\frac{\pi}{4}

The largest memory space that can be addressed by 18 addressing bits is... Is there a formula for this perhaps?

I'm fiddling around with a hex editor here and the processes have memory blocks that have certain flags like MEM_COMMIT, MEM_RESERVE, PAGE_READWRITE. That sort of stuff. And I was wondering what all these exactly mean. Also I'd like some resources on x86 assembly. Something that really starts...

I want to develop and train my photographic memory. Can anyone please give me tips.

If you get a stroke, what effect does it have on your memory? In other words, do you forget, for example, people you met most recently, or as far back in the past as possible? Does anyone know?

Hey all. I'm new here, so greetings. Is there a component that provides a single bit of non-volatile memory? I'm looking for a way to flag an array of removable, disposable items as being new or spent. The value only needs to be set once (so something like an intentionally blown fuse would...

Some math topics you've studied you will rarely use again. How well do you find that you remember all the fine details of these topics that you rarely use? By the way, I'm back after one year. Anyone miss me?

I've been looking at system architectures, and it seems almost always, a specific device on the memory bus uses a staggered type of addressing. What I mean by this is that say you have a chip select exclusive to 1 device. The address bus may have lines A[25:0], but instead of matching each...

When I look at a sequence of numbers, I can close my eyes and read the numbers out. This is how I normally remember phone numbers, id numbers and everything else including numbers. However, if I don't go through the process of reading it out within a few minutes or so, I may interchange the...

Hey guys, I don't know what I should do. I mean I love biology...but its just that I have tried those methods which are suppose to make memorization easier for you but it still is pretty hard(relating the word to your senses or memory). What do you guys think?

This is a honest question that I hope someone can help me with. I hear there are cells that store memory and what not, but when I think of a cell, how does information with image and sensations get stored into something of that concept? If they know how, it would interest me to learn due to...

Albert Einstein says that knowledge is a tree of which different specializations are its branches. Sri Krishna in Bhagwat Gita similarly, says that Knowledge is a tree upside down i.e., of which root is on top; and trunk, branches and leaves spread at bottom. If we all see the expansion of...

I have got a begginner's course in computer organisation this semester. The course consists of the basic stuff like types of memories and memory hierarchy with the detailed description of each etc etc. Now, what i really don't get is memmory mapping and how exactly data is read and written on...

Recently I have been having a problem with my memory, at least that is what I think it is. I am using Windows XP home (SP 2) [1 gb memory], and in the past week or so I have been having an almost daily problem of getting a BSOD with a memory dump error. I often hear people complain about...

Hi, I'm wondering how to give a map a fixed size like you can give an array a fixed size by just "byte data[SIZE*DATASIZE]".. or if it's possible anybody know.. struct Table { map<int, int> table; // }; struct Table *flightChart; The reason I have to give this a fixed size, is...
