Publication number: 20160335131Abstract: Embodiments of the invention relate to a system and method for dynamically scheduling resources using policies to self-optimize resource workloads in a data center. The object of the invention is to allocate resources in the data center dynamically corresponding to a set of policies that are configured by an administrator. Operational parametrics that correlate to the cost of ownership of the data center are monitored and compared to the set of policies configured by the administrator. When the operational parametrics approach or exceed levels that correspond to the set of policies, workloads in the data center are adjusted with the goal of minimizing the cost of ownership of the data center. Such parametrics include yet are not limited to those that relate to resiliency, power balancing, power consumption, power management, error rate, maintenance, and performance.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 25, 2016Publication date: November 17, 2016Inventors: Eng Lim Goh, Christian Tanasescu, George L. Thomas, Charlton Port

Patent number: 4737685Abstract: An aluminosilicate glass composition is disclosed which is particularly useful for direct fusion sealing to both molybdenum and tungsten metals. The present glass composition provides an improved high temperature lamp envelope by reason of its reduced seed or bubble content. A minor amount up to approximately 3 weight percent ZrO.sub.2 is included in the glass as a refining agent to reduce the glass seed count and the glass further exhibits a higher strain point for less stress when the high temperature lamps are operated.Type: GrantFiled: November 17, 1986Date of Patent: April 12, 1988Assignee: General Electric CompanyInventor: George L. Thomas

Patent number: 4737475Abstract: A glass composition specially useful in the glass envelope of TV receiver tubes and which is of the lead silicate type is disclosed comprising in weight percent 30-65% SiO.sub.2, 20-40% PbO, 5-20% alkali metal oxides, 0-2% Al.sub.2 O.sub.3, 0-10% alkaline earth metal oxides, 0.2-2% Sb.sub.2 O.sub.3, and 0.1-0.5% CeO.sub.2. The improvement resides in employment of a novel refining system when the glass is formed which employs Sb.sub.2 O.sub.3, niter and CeO.sub.2 as the refining agents in particular weight proportions to reduce the seed count in the molten glass while also reducing thermal shock breakage when the solid glass product is thereafter thermally reworked.Type: GrantFiled: May 1, 1987Date of Patent: April 12, 1988Assignee: General Electric CompanyInventors: George L.
