Claim Text:
1. A system for preserving data stored in a memory device in the presence of a power failure, comprising: a volatile memory device for storing digital data used in a digital data system; a coolant storage container arranged to store a standby coolant, the standby coolant remaining stored in the coolant storage container while power is supplied to the volatile memory device; a valve system connected to the output of the coolant storage container; and a control system connected to the valve system and arranged to open the valve system when power is lost to the volatile memory device, wherein responsive to a loss of power to the volatile memory device, the control system preserves data stored in the volatile memory device by opening the valve system to release coolant from the coolant storage container to cool the volatile memory device, the coolant reducing the temperature of the volatile memory device substantially below an operating temperature thereof to preserve data stored therein.
