Abstract: An on demand power device which allows users to selectively choose the desired voltage/current/power and/or amp-hour (A/H) capacity output from among a range of output available within the power device. This device relates to batteries used as long-term stand-by or back-up power sources such as for emergency use with a motor vehicle, during camping, vehicle starting/towing, and for power consumer electronics such as mobile phones or a global positioning systems. This device also relates to batteries for usages on water, underwater, on land, under land, in the air or in space which require power at discrete intervals.

Abstract: A cache on-demand module employing a cache performance module for managing size adjustments to a cache size of a cache memory in view of supporting an optimal performance of a storage subsystem employing the cache memory by determining an optimal cache size of the cache memory for supporting the optimal performance of the storage subsystem, and reporting any size adjustment to the cache size of the cache memory based on the determined optimal cache size of the cache memory. The cache on-demand module further employs a cache accounting module for managing a client expense account associated with the cache memory by determining whether a client charge or a client rebate is warranted as a function of any size adjustment to the cache size of the cache memory by the cache performance module.

Abstract: A cache on-demand module employing a cache performance module for managing size adjustments to an active cache size of a cache memory in view of supporting an optimal performance of a storage subsystem employing the cache memory by determining an optimal active cache size of the cache memory for supporting the optimal performance of the storage subsystem, and reporting any size adjustment to the active cache size of the cache memory based on the determined optimal active cache size of the cache memory. The cache on-demand module further employs a cache accounting module for managing a client expense account associated with the cache memory by determining whether a client charge or a client rebate is warranted as a function of any size adjustment to the active cache size of the cache memory by the cache performance module.

Abstract: A storage subsystem such as an array of disk drives, method of managing disk drives in the storage subsystem and program product therefor. The storage subsystem may be a redundant array of independent disks (RAID) and the individual disks drives may be Self-Monitoring, Analysis and Reporting Technology (SMART) capable drives. When one of the drives gives an indication of an impending failure, a disk image of the failing disk is built on an available spare disk. Once the image is complete, the failing disk may be replaced without down time for rebuilding a failed disk.

Abstract: Aspects of increasing the quality and reliability of desktop class storage disks in enterprise storage applications are described. The aspects include monitoring a number of idle states and busy states in a disk drive, and limiting performance of read/write commands by the disk drive based on whether a sufficient number of idle states has been monitored to avoid exceeding a duty cycle rating of the disk drive.
