OBS

En ciertos dispositivos de almacenamiento, el contenido de una posición dada debe ser regenerado después de leerse, si es que se quiere conservar después de dicha lectura; por ejemplo, el almacenamiento en tubos de rayos catódicos (CRT) y en algunos núcleos es del tipo destructivo y cuando se desea la retención, la regeneración suele producirse automáticamente.
