Disclosed herein are example methods, systems, and devices involving electrically-conductive wires, such as standard IC bonding wires, that are configured so as to operate as inertial sensors. The controller reads write data associated with a first write command from a host memory by a unit of a first size in response to the first write command from a host. A method of fabricating a configurable optical grating based on collapsing nano-fingers is also disclosed, as well as a method of determining an open or closed state for a plurality of nano-fingers.
