  • Patent number: 10652308
    Abstract: Embodiments include methods, systems and computer program products method for cognitive storage management for a mobile computing device. The computer-implemented method includes monitoring, using a processor, content generation and usage on a mobile computing device by a user associated with the mobile computing device to determine usage habits of the user. The processor determines a storage capacity for the mobile computing device. The processor predicts future content generation and usage by the user based on the determined usage habits. The processor determines whether future storage capacity issues could exist based on the predicted future content usage and the determined storage capacity. The processor, in response to a determination that future storage capacity issues could exist based on the predicted future content usage and the determined storage capacity, causes at least a portion of content stored on the mobile computing device for storage in a remote storage.

  • Patent number: 10515759
    Abstract: An MLCC with an identification mark consisting of non-active internal electrodes which can be used to determine chip orientation for mounting or reeling. This allows an MLCC with substantially similar width and thickness to be oriented with the electrodes in a preferred direction (either vertical or horizontal with respect to the board) that results in the minimum noise and vibration compared to other orientations. The presence of an identification mark can also allow for a means of preferentially orienting an MLCC which has an active area that is offset from the geometric center of the part.
