The present disclosure includes GCIB-treated resistive devices, devices utilizing GCIB-treated resistive devices, and methods for forming the GCIB-treated resistive devices. The allocation lock of the present invention facilitates operations of concurrent transactions at a subpage level, and in conjunction with a heap manager can enforce a set of conditions such that prior to a commit stage of a transaction, a space availability for a particular page can be typically assured, and reorganization of data around the page is mitigated . The particulate matter area may then be removed, prior to the foam draining, and encased in a storage device. An oscillation frequency of the oscillator is controlled by use of a change of phase shift detected using the demodulated radio frequency band signal received from the base station.
