Abstract: A method of predicting usage levels of solid-state drives (SSDS) includes receiving time series usage data from each SSD over a plurality of monitoring intervals (lags), and using a first portion of the time series usage data to train (fit) an ARIMA model to the time series data. A unique ARIMA model (order) is determined for each SSD from the unique time series % usage data of each SSD. The ARMIA model is then fit to the time series % usage data and used in a predictive manner to predict a future date when the % usage will exceed a threshold % usage value. By predicting when the SSDs will meet particular thresholds, it is possible to plan for and procure replacement SSDs to enable currently installed SSDs to be removed from service before the currently installed SSD % usage levels exceed threshold values, thus enabling the currently installed SSDs to be repurposed.

Abstract: An additive manufacture apparatus comprising a laser beam and wire supply system, wherein the laser beam and wire supply systems are movable with respect to a surface on which a component is to be built or a preceding weld bead, the laser beam and wire supply system being operable to create a plurality of weld beads and wherein at the end of forming one of said weld beads the weld supply system extends a length of wire and a nozzle forming the end of the wire supply system is simultaneously caused to retract away from the component being formed

Abstract: A collapsible pong gaming table includes an elongated fabric table body having a top surface, a bottom surface, a first end, a second end, a first side and a second side. The table also includes a plurality of elongated channels located about the periphery of the table body, and a plurality of cup holders that are arranged symmetrically along a longitudinal axis of the table body. A plurality of collapsible support members are removably inserted throughout the channels, and are connected to collapsible legs.
