A method for manufacturing an RRAM cell includes providing a metal-insulator-metal stack and exposing a subsection of a MIM stack to particle bombardment and/or radiation. Exposing a subsection of the MIM stack to particle bombardment and/or radiation forms localized defects in the functional layer of the MIM stack, thereby reducing the required forming voltage of the RRAM cell and further providing precise control over the location of a conductive filament created in the MIM stack during forming of the device.

Predicting future sales of a product includes determining a first, historical sales rate curve of historical sales of the product and determining a second sales rate curve for a time t from sales of the product occurring up to a time t&#x2212;1. The second sales rate curve is determined for a window of time W that includes time t, the window of time W has a shorter duration than the first sales rate curve, and the first and second sales rate curves are for different periods of time. The second sales rate curve is compared to the first sales rate curve and a section of the first sales rate curve is identified based on predetermined criteria for the comparison. Future sales of the product are predicted as a function of a portion of the first sales rate curve in time after the identified section of the first sales rate curve.
