Abstract: Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and control thereof to assemble into flexible, dynamic structures. A UAV includes a flexible screen retractable between extended and retracted positions, connector(s) for coupling to another UAV that can pull the flexible screen from a retracted position to an extended position, and a coupling portion for coupling to connector(s) of yet another UAV to connect to and extend a flexible screen thereof. Chain(s) of coupled UAVs with extended flexible screens thereof form a structure that can change shape and size based on UAV movement. Local wireless communication with a group control UAV facilitates coordinated positioning and control of a UAV group. A group control UAV with a power supply and an electrical conducting lead can power UAVs of a group while it and they are in-flight, and can perform real-time management of the group UAVs in forming and maintaining a desired shape of the structure.

Abstract: Method and system are provided for storage allocation enhancement of microservices. A method carried out at a microservice orchestrator, includes: categorizing a microservice container, wherein the categorization defines a predicted storage behavior of the microservice container input/output operations; and providing the categorization in association with the microservice container input/output operations to a storage system for use in storage allocation of the input/output operations. A method at a storage controller includes: receiving microservice container input/output operations with an associated categorization, wherein the categorization defines a predicted storage behavior of the microservice container input/output operations; and using the associated categorization for optimizing storage allocation for the input/output operations and/or optimizing garbage collection performance.

Abstract: Method and system are provided for storage allocation enhancement of microservices. A method carried out at a microservice orchestrator, includes: identifying distinct phases of a run of a microservice container; categorizing the phases of a run of a microservice container, wherein the categorization defines a predicted storage behavior of the microservice container input/output operations in the phase of the microservice container; and providing the categorization in association with the microservice container input/output operations in the phase to a storage system for use in storage allocation of the input/output operations.

Abstract: A method for reviewing content previously displayed on a display screen includes capturing at least one screenshot of at least part of a display screen in response to an occurrence of a trigger event based on a change in displayed content. A value of at least one criterion of the displayed content is stored in association with each captured screenshot. A request is received, based on at least one of the stored criteria, to review a captured screenshot. A screenshot corresponding with the request may be superimposed on the display screen as an overlay. Content displayed on the screen for the occurrence of the trigger event is monitored. A screenshot in response to each occurrence of the trigger event is captured. The request to review a screenshot may be a request to review a selection from a plurality of captured screenshots.
