Abstract: Serial number based storage device allocation is disclosed. A serial number associated with the storage device is mapped to a device file associated with the storage device on a host having a connection to the storage device. The serial number is mapped to a device address by which the storage device is known to a library with which the storage device is associated. A request requiring that an available storage device be allocated to service the request is received. The storage device is allocated, based at least in part on the serial number to device file and serial number to device address mappings, to service the request.

Abstract: A user may be provided with identified regions of interest superimposed on a larger image, which may permit the user to individually examine the regions of interest. The regions of interest may be independently windowed and/or leveled and/or magnified according to parameters associated with the region of interest, which parameters may be generated by a computer-aided detection algorithm.

Abstract: An icemaker assembly is disposed within a refrigerator having a freezer compartment, a fresh food compartment and respective freezer and fresh food door assemblies. The icemaker assembly comprises a conveyor assembly positioned within the freezer compartment having a flexible conveyor belt with a multiplicity of individual ice cube molds for creation of individual ice cubes. An ice cube storage bin is positioned below the conveyor assembly for storing the ice cubes and a fullness sensor is positioned for determining the fill level of ice cubes within the ice cube storage bin.

Abstract: A technique for simultaneously processing media requests is disclosed. It is determined whether a removable storage media resource required to service a first request is currently associated with a second request that is currently being serviced. In the event that the resource is currently associated with a second request, it is determined whether the first request can be interleaved with the second request. In the event it is determined that the first request can be interleaved with the second request, the first request is interleaved with the second request.

Abstract: Managing media in an environment comprising two or more library, device, or host types is disclosed. A media management request not specific to any library, device, or host type is sent to an agent installed at a host. The agent is configured to receive the request and act thereon in the manner required by the particular library, device, and/or host implicated by the request.

Abstract: Combustion-induced instabilities are minimized in gas turbine combustors by incorporating one or more Helmholtz resonators into the combustor. First and second plates located in the head end of the combustor casing define one cavity, and a sleeve located between the casing and the liner defines another cavity. Each of the two cavities is connected to the combustion chamber by one or more throats, thus forming Helmholtz resonators. The throats of each resonator can be tubes of different lengths and/or different cross-sectional areas to provide dynamics suppression over a broad band of frequencies. The throats can also be arranged such that each throat is associated with a different portion of its respective cavity, each cavity portion having a different volume.
