Abstract: Cloud computing utilization measurements associated with a cloud computing instance are received. Metrics based on the cloud computing utilization measurements are calculated. Based on a user configurable resource evaluation criteria, whether a different cloud computing instance among eligible cloud computing resource unit options is a better match than a current cloud computing resource unit handling the cloud computing instance is evaluated. A selected one of the eligible cloud computing resource unit options is indicated as the better match than the current cloud computing resource unit handling the cloud computing instance.

Abstract: A method of constructing an electrical contact including a contact element positioned between a first contact member and a second contact member. The method includes defining a transmission line model to represent operation of the electrical contact. The transmission line model indicates a contact resistance and a specific contact resistivity along a length of the contact element. The method includes determining a current flow profile of the contact element. The current flow profile is determined based on a current distribution using the transmission line model. The method includes determining one of: (i) a material, (ii) a thickness, and (iii) a geometry of the contact element based on the contact resistance and the current flow profile of the transmission line model. The method includes constructing the contact element positioned between the first contact member and the second contact member with the at least one of (i) the material, (ii) the thickness, and (iii) the geometry.
