Abstract: Systems and methods for quality of service management are provided. According to one embodiment, a non-transitory computer-readable medium comprises instructions that when executed by the processing resource cause the processing resource to collect, from a plurality of volumes on a per-volume basis, one or more real-time performance metrics for one or more compute processes executing on the one or more computer systems, generate an inertial parameter for one or more volumes in the plurality of volumes, and generate an instruction that cause a processor to use the real-time performance metrics and the inertial parameter to determine whether to transfer responsibility for a compute process on a first storage server node to a second storage server node.

Abstract: A coating composition for creating a rough tactile surface on a substrate comprises a plurality of high aspect ratio flakes dispersed through a radiation-curable binder. The composition is can be employed in anilox and gravure printing systems incorporating doctor blades and like skimming units in which conventional tactile coatings cannot be successfully employed.

Abstract: The present invention provides coating composition according to the present invention. The coating composition is a low extractables composition that imparts properties, such as, for example, low friction, high gloss, color and/or pearlescence to a substrate coated with the composition of the present invention. In a preferred embodiment, a tampon applicator includes the coating composition of the present invention.

Abstract: A coated substrate and method of forming the substrate are provided. The substrate can have high gloss and good slip properties. Such a substrate can be formed with a paper base having a coating thereon. The coating can include an active silicone-based slip agent and other suitable ingredients.
