Abstract: Techniques for managing cloud computing resources hosting burstable performance instances are described. A host computer system of a provider network executes burstable performance compute instances. Compute capacity usage data is obtained from the host computer system, the compute capacity usage data including a first indication of a first compute capacity used by a first burstable performance compute instance. A first weight for the first burstable performance compute instance is calculated, the first weight being inversely related to the first compute capacity. A scheduler of the host computer system is updated with process prioritization weights, the process prioritization weights including a first process prioritization weight that is based at least in part on the first weight. The scheduler allocates compute capacity based on the process prioritization weights.

Abstract: A multimaterial sheet includes a first layer (10) comprising a first plastic and having a density of 2.000-5.000 kilograms per cubic meter; a second layer (20) comprising a second plastic, glass, ceramic, or a combination thereof and having a density of 800-5,000 kilograms per cubic meter, wherein the second layer (20) is spaced apart (15) from the first layer (10); a third layer (30) comprising a multiwall sheet and having a density of 50-250 kilograms per cubic meter, or 60-200 kilograms per cubic meter; and a fourth layer (40) comprising a third plastic and having a density of 800-2.000 kilograms per cubic meter, wherein the first layer, the second layer, the third layer, and the fourth layer are stacked along a y-axis.

Abstract: To address this and/or other needs, the present inventor devised, among other things, a passive moisture detection probe that can be installed and left in place to continuously indicate whether the moisture-content in the wall-cavity of a building is below or above a desirable level. One exemplary moisture detection assembly includes a moisture-absorbent sensor element and an indicator. The sensor element, which can be placed in contact with the inner surface of a home's exterior sheathing, expands and contracts in response to the moisture content of the sheathing. The indicator, for example a rod, moves in responsive to the expansion and contraction of the sensor element, with its relative position corresponding to the moisture in the exterior sheathing and thus providing an on-going and observable sign of moisture intrusion.
