The present disclosure includes apparatuses and methods for providing energy information to memory. An embodiment includes determining, by a host, that a charge level of an energy source coupled to the host has reached or exceeded a threshold value, and transmitting, from the host to a memory device coupled to the host, signaling indicative of an energy mode for the memory device, wherein the signaling is transmitted based at least in part on determining that the charge level of the energy source has reached or exceeded the threshold.

A memory module includes a module substrate. The module substrate includes a plurality of regions, on which a plurality of memory apparatuses are mounted. A plurality of inductors are formed in the plurality of regions of the memory module substrate, respectively.

Methods, systems and computer program products for extending the shelf life of non-volatile memory devices, aspects of which include detecting that the non-volatile memory device has been disconnected from a power supply and responsively resetting a timer, a first counter, and a second counter and incrementing the first counter and the second counter based on the timer. Based on a determination that the first counter has reached a first threshold value, aspects also include initiating a wireless charging a battery of the non-volatile memory device. Based on a determination that the second counter has reached a second threshold value, aspects also include initiating a refresh of a non-violate memory of the non-volatile memory device. Based on a determination that the refresh of the non-violate memory of the non-volatile memory device has been completed, aspects also include resetting the timer, the first counter, and the second counter.

A mobile data storage device is configured in the manner of a data storage card, or a data storage stick. The mobile data storage device can include at least one electrical coil (7), and energy storage (6), a data storage (1), at least one interface unit (3), and at least one permanent magnet (8). The at least one interface unit (3) is configured for the output or the receiving of data that is stored, or that can be stored, in the data storage (1). The energy storage (6) can be inductively charged by a magnetic alternating field, which can be generated by displacing the at least one permanent magnet (8) in a region of the electrical coil (7). At least one of the at least one interface unit (3) is electrically coupled to the energy storage for the energy supply thereof.

A system for storing long-term digital data comprises data storage equipment including one or more data storage devices 26 stored in a sealed data storage module 10, which is positioned within a data center enclosure 101, which contains a body 12 that is surrounded by a strengthening shield 14. The body contains a network of tunnels 16. One or more data storage modules 10 are stored in a tunnel 16 that is inaccessible to human beings and comprises robotic movement means. Data can be stored before or after the data storage device 26 is sealed within the data storage module body. A utility distribution system can be positioned in proximity to the data storage module 10 for the utility distribution module to provide contactless power and network connection to the data storage module and for the data storage module to retrieve and transmit to the utility distribution module 34 data that is held in the data storage device 26. Powering of the data storage module occurs only when access to the data storage devices is required. One the other or both of the data storage module 10 and the tunnel 16 is operable to self-destruct when tampering is detected. The data storage module can also process the data stored under user instruction and store the results, including secure encryption and decryption of data.
