Abstract: One or more aspects of the present disclosure relate to dynamically rendering one or more views of a modular system. In embodiments, views of a computing device can be dynamically rendered. For example, the views can be dynamically rendered in response to receiving metadata corresponding to the computing device or receiving a metadata change. Further, the views can show the computing device's components and their relationships to other storage array components and elements. For example, the views can map each component's positional relationship with, e.g., the computing device's rack. Additionally, the views can map cable connections and types of the components.

Abstract: Described are techniques for determining temporary storage areas for logical volumes to be swapped. Logical volumes may be swapped in a computer system in connection with efforts to improve performance of associated data storage entities in the computer system. As part of the data swapping and physical relocation of logical volumes, temporary storage locations are used. A temporary storage location is associated and used with each logical volume being swapped. Determining a temporary storage area for a logical volume may be made in accordance with particular criteria. A temporary storage area is determined for each logical volume from a list of one or more possible candidate locations. The problem of matching a logical volume to a unique temporary storage area may be represented as a bipartite graph matching problem using solutions, such as the maximum flow, and other techniques to find a match for each logical volume.

Abstract: A composite film adhereable to a surface of an object for changing its thermal and optical properties. According to one preferred embodiment the composite film includes a substrate, a non stoichiometric aluminum oxide layer deposited on one side of said substrate, and an adhesive layer for coating said non stoichiometric aluminum oxide layer, whereby said composite film is adhereable to a surface of said object. According to a second preferred embodiment the composite film includes a substrate, a first aluminum metal layer deposited on one side of said substrate, an aluminum oxide layer deposited on said first aluminum layer, a second aluminum layer deposited on said aluminum oxide layer, and an adhesive layer for coating said aluminum oxide layer, whereby said composite film is adhereable to a surface of said object.
