Abstract: A storage device is communicatively coupled to a management station and comprises an interface manager to send a notification to the management station when a network address of the storage device is changed to a new address. The management station retains information on the network address of the storage device and, upon receipt of a notification, reestablishes a connection to the storage device using the new address. Related methods, and components of the system, are also disclosed.

Abstract: Ceria-coated aerogels can include an aerogel support material having a stabilized ceria coating thereon. The ceria coating can be formed by solution or vapor deposition of alcogels or aerogels. Additional catalytic metal species can also be incorporated into the coating to form multi-metallic compounds having improved catalytic activity. Further, the ceria coated aerogels retain high surface areas at elevated temperatures. Thus, improvements in catalytic activity and thermal stability can be achieved using these ceria-coated composite aerogels.

Abstract: A method for forming multi-metallic sites on a substrate is disclosed and described. A substrate including active groups such as hydroxyl can be reacted with a pretarget metal complex. The target metal attached to the active group can then be reacted with a secondary metal complex such that an oxidation-reduction (redox) reaction occurs to form a multi-metallic species. The substrate can be a highly porous material such as aerogels, xerogels, zeolites, and similar materials. Additional metal complexes can be reacted to increase catalyst loading or control co-catalyst content. The resulting compounds can be oxidized to form oxides or reduced to form metals in the ground state which are suitable for practical use.

Abstract: User interface for a storage network and methods of operation. In an exemplary implementation, a storage network comprises an automated storage system including data access drives and transfer robotics. An interface manager is communicatively coupled to each of the data access drives and transfer robotics, the interface manager aggregating configuration information for the data access drives and transfer robotics in the automated storage system. An interface application is provided in computer-readable storage at the interface manager, the interface application generating user interface rendering data for the configuration information. A graphical user interface is operatively associated with the interface application, the graphical user interface outputting the configuration information in accordance with the user interface rendering data.
