摘要:
A method for managing extents in a data storage system includes monitoring usage statistics for an extent residing on one or more powered-up storage devices. In the event the extent has not been accessed for specified period of time (as determined from the usage statistics), the method automatically compresses the extent and migrates the extent to an intermediate repository. Once the amount of data in the intermediate repository reaches a specified level, the method migrates the extent from the intermediate repository to one or more normally powered-down storage devices. If I/O is received for the extent while it resides in the normally powered-down storage devices or the intermediate repository, the method automatically migrates the extent from the normally powered-down storage devices or the intermediate repository to the normally powered-up storage devices. A corresponding apparatus and computer program product are also disclosed.

A method for more effectively distributing the I/O workload in a data replication system is disclosed herein. In selected embodiments, such a method may include generating an I/O request and identifying a storage resource group associated with the I/O request. In the event the I/O request is associated with a first storage resource group, the I/O request may be directed to a first storage device and a copy of the I/O request may be mirrored from the first storage device to a second storage device. Alternatively, in the event the I/O request is associated with a second storage resource group, the I/O request may be directed to a second storage device and a copy of the I/O request may be mirrored from the second storage device to the first storage device. A corresponding system, apparatus, and computer program product are also disclosed and claimed herein.

An improved cemetery experience whereby the cemetery and accompanying facilities may celebrate and demonstrate the passion and hobbies of the deceased individual. The contemplated themed cemetery may be a stand-alone cemetery that celebrates a common passion of a plurality of individuals, yet still maintains the traditional burial and memorialization process. The themed cemetery may take a specific event, or commonly understood and loved location and memorialize that location in the theme of a cemetery where those with that common interest and enjoyment of the commonly understood location may desire to be buried. The cemetery would closely resemble both visually, and physically a replica of the theme being celebrated and may provide space for the deceased while still providing adequate income and revenue in the way of advertising for the operator.

A system and method for controlling an ignition system includes an engine having a combustion chamber and a spark plug is disposed within the combustion chamber. An ECU is configured to execute a multi-spark event. The ECU is configured to cause the spark plug to execute the multi-spark event and discontinue the multi-spark event if a conductivity indicative of combustion is detected in the combustion chamber.

An apparatus and method are provided for an interactive memorial device to provide a dynamic, interactive, multi-touch display to visitors of a final resting place or memorial of a deceased individual. The interactive memorial device enables the visitors to interact with a combination of dynamic and customizable information relating to the decedent or memorial. An operating system enables an end-user, such as any of the visitors, to interact with the operating system by way of navigation controls. A display screen preferably comprises a transparent multi-touch display configured to enable the visitors to view and interact with information and provides dynamic memorialization content to the visitors while maintaining view of real memorialization objects and personalized mementos in the background. Loudspeakers are configured to play audio soundtracks accompanying memorial-related information. In some embodiments, the interactive memorial device includes a camera suitable for social networking functions, such as online video conferencing and chat.
摘要:
An improved cemetery experience, whereby the cemetery and accompanying facilities may celebrate and demonstrate the passion and hobbies of the deceased individual, such as a love of special venues, e.g., amusement and entertainment venues. The contemplated themed cemetery may be a stand-alone cemetery that celebrates a common passion of a plurality of individuals, yet still maintains the traditional burial and memorialization process. The themed cemetery memorializes a specific event or a loved location and provides enjoyment to individuals having a common interest with an opportunity for burial and/or memorial with a common theme. The themed cemetery comprises a visual and physical replica of a venue, such as a entertainment facility, e.g., Grauman's Chinese Theater, the Hollywood Bowl, The Hollywood Palladium, Disneyland, The Walt Disney Concert Hall, The Greek Theater, Cesar's Palace, The MGM Grand Hotel, The Bellagio, and the like. The themed cemetery is configured to providing space for the deceased while also providing income and revenue by way of advertising for a cemetery operator, a franchisor, and/or a franchisee.
摘要:
In one embodiment, pursuant to migrating the data from the first to the second storage medium, the data is allocated to the second storage medium while retaining an allocation of the data in the first storage medium. If the data is migrated from the second storage medium back to the first storage medium, the data is pointed to the allocation of the data in the first storage medium to alleviate data movement from the second storage medium to the first storage medium. If the allocation of the data in the first storage medium is determined to be needed for other data, the allocation of the data in the first storage medium is freed.
摘要:
A headlamp of one embodiment of this invention includes a laser element for emitting a laser beam, a light emitting section for generating fluorescence upon receiving the laser beam, and a reflecting mirror for projecting the fluorescence. Distribution of the fluorescence emitted by the light emitting section corresponds to Lambertian distribution, and an incident angle of the laser beam with respect to an excitation light irradiated surface, which is a surface of the light emitting section irradiated with the laser beam, is set so that use efficiency of the fluorescence emitted by the light emitting section is increased.

A headlamp of an embodiment of this invention includes a laser element, a light emitting section, and a parabolic mirror. A part of the parabolic mirror is provided so as to face an upper surface of the light emitting section, which upper surface has a larger area than that of a side surface of the light emitting section. The light emitting section emits fluorescence in such a manner that distribution of the fluorescence corresponds to the Lambertian distribution.
