Patent number: 10956391Abstract: Methods and systems for enabling sizing of storage array resources are provided. Resources of a storage array can include, for example, cache, memory, SSD cache, central processing unit (CPU), storage capacity, number of hard disk drives (HDD), etc. Generally, methods and systems are provided that enable efficient predictability of sizing needs for said storage resources using historical storage array use and configuration metadata, which is gathered over time from an install base of storage arrays. This metadata is processed to produce models that are used to predict resource sizing needs to be implemented in storage arrays with certainty that takes into account customer-to-customer needs and variability. The efficiency in which the sizing assessment is made further provides significant value because it enables streamlining and acceleration of the provisioning process for storage arrays.Type: GrantFiled: March 15, 2019Date of Patent: March 23, 2021Assignee: Hewlett Packard Enterprise Development LPInventors: David Adamson, Larry Lancaster

Patent number: 10821763Abstract: A method of roughening a surface of a printing form precursor. The method comprises subjecting at least a part of the surface to energy in the form of pulses of electromagnetic radiation to produce a uniformly hydrophilic roughened surface on at least a part of the printing form precursor and optionally converting the uniformly hydrophilic roughened surface of the printing form precursor to a uniformly hydrophobic roughened surface. The method is useful for providing a surface for use in a subsequent imaging and/or printing process in lithographic printing. Methods of providing a printing form comprising an image formed of hydrophobic regions and hydrophilic regions using said method and a method of printing using said method are also described, as are printing forms so produced and imaging devices and apparatus for carrying out the said methods.Type: GrantFiled: May 26, 2016Date of Patent: November 3, 2020Assignee: Shenzhen Zhong Chuang Green Plate Technology Co., Ltd.Inventors: John David Adamson, Peter Andrew Reath Bennett, Dun Liu

Patent number: 9956756Abstract: A method of preparing a printing form precursor for printing, or a printed circuit board precursor or a semiconductor precursor, the method comprising the step of applying electromagnetic radiation having a pulse duration of not greater than 1×10?6 seconds, in an imagewise manner, to an imagable surface of the precursor. The imaging process may cause ablation of the coating of the precursor or permit its development in a developer. In each case the imaging radiation needs not be tuned to imaging chemistry (if any) present in the coating. Alternatively the imaging process may induce a change of hydrophilicity or hydrophobicity, or other change of state, of an uncoated substrate.Type: GrantFiled: March 1, 2017Date of Patent: May 1, 2018Assignee: J P Imaging LimitedInventors: John David Adamson, Peter Andrew Reath Bennett, Rodney Martin Potts

Patent number: 9895855Abstract: A tire is described that includes a casing defining a cavity and equipped to receive an object, such as an electronic circuit, for example, through use of a two-part attachment, such as a touch-close attachment, of which a first part is fixed to a wall of the casing and a second part can be joined to the first part when placed in contact with the first part to keep the object on the casing in a service position. The first part of the attachment includes connection elements that are an integral part of the wall of the casing of the tire. The connection elements allow these two parts to have freedom to move relative to each other, thereby limiting the transmission of stresses, which affect the wall of the tire, to the object. The connection elements may be loops of flexible thread formed by the extremities of turns of a coiled thread integrated into the wall of the tire during the tire's manufacture.Type: GrantFiled: September 12, 2016Date of Patent: February 20, 2018Assignee: COMPAGNIE GENERALE DES ETABLISSEMENTS MICHELINInventors: Martine Borot, Claudio Battocchio, John David Adamson

Patent number: 9545785Abstract: A printing form precursor comprises a printing surface which comprises an inorganic metal compound, the printing surface being hydrophobic and capable of being made hydrophilic by energy but capable of becoming hydrophobic again, for reuse, if desired. An associated method of printing includes steps of subjecting the printing surface imagewise to energy so as to locally increase its hydrophilicity sufficient to make the surface differentiated in its acceptance of an oleophilic a printing ink; applying the ink to the printing surface and printing from the printing surface; causing or allowing the printing surface to undergo a reduction in hydrophilicity sufficient again to make the printing surface uniform in its acceptance of a printing ink; and, if wished, repeating these steps on multiple occasions. Thus the invention achieves the goal of providing a printing form precursor which does not need a chemical developer, and which can be used multiple times, to print different images.Type: GrantFiled: September 7, 2009Date of Patent: January 17, 2017Assignee: J P Imaging LimitedInventors: John David Adamson, Peter Andrew Reath Bennett, Richard Arthur Hutchinson, Rodney Martin Potts

Patent number: 9114671Abstract: A tire is disclosed that includes at least one annular bead wire forming a body of revolution about a reference axis. A carcass ply of generally toroidal shape about the same axis as the bead wire has a portion that is folded around the wire. A materials interface is defined at least in part by the junction between a rubber first mass and a second mass that includes an electronic member. By way of example, the electronic member is a passive radiofrequency identification transponder. The interface extends from a free edge of the folded portion of the carcass ply radially away from the reference axis to a circumferential junction line between the interface and the carcass ply.Type: GrantFiled: April 3, 2008Date of Patent: August 25, 2015Assignee: Michelin Recherche et Technique S.A.Inventors: John David Adamson, Christopher B.
