Patent number: 7849180Abstract: Available performance capacities of storage servers and storage devices in a storage infrastructure are determined using a plurality of metrics, wherein each of the storage devices is managed by one of the storage servers. Each aggregate is hosted by a storage server and includes multiple storage devices. A relationship between the plurality of metrics is analyzed. An aggregate from which to allocate storage capacity to a volume from a plurality of aggregates is selected based on the available performance capacities and the relationship between the plurality of metrics. The selection is performed without information about properties of the volume. Storage capacity of the selected aggregate is automatically allocated to the volume. After said allocation, the plurality of aggregates is approximately load balanced.Type: GrantFiled: April 29, 2008Date of Patent: December 7, 2010Assignee: Network Appliance, Inc.Inventors: Darren Charles Sawyer, Kesari Mishra, Swaminathan Ramany

Publication number: 20080090888Abstract: A modest (2-5 fold) increase in androgen receptor (AR) mRNA is the only expression change consistently associated with developing resistance to antiandrogen therapy. Increased levels of AR confer resistance to anti-androgens by amplifying signal output from low levels of residual ligand and altering the normal response to antagonists. This invention provides cell based assays for use in the examination of new therapeutic modalities and provides for the design of novel antiandrogen compounds.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 24, 2006Publication date: April 17, 2008Inventors: Michael Jung, Samedy Ouk, Charles Sawyers, Charlie Chen, Derek Welsbie
