  • Publication number: 20070247798
    Abstract: The invention concerns a display for use in, for example, small electronic devices such as notebook computers. The display of the invention has a main display panel and an auxiliary display panel, wherein the auxiliary display panel is slidably mounted in a housing behind the main display panel when not in use. A user of the display of the invention can selectively extend the auxiliary display panel from behind the main display panel to increase the amount of display area available to the user. A sensor mounted in the housing determines how far the auxiliary panel has been extended and informs the software controlling display operations how much additional display area has been made available for display operations. In an alternate embodiment, two auxiliary panels are slidably mounted in the housing behind the main panel and can be extended to use positions on the left and right sides of the main display panel of the display.

  • Publication number: 20070033361
    Abstract: An apparatus, system, and method are disclosed for autonomically creating a target volume in conjunction with a fastcopy data operation. The apparatus includes a selection module, a creation module, and a write module. The selection module selects a source volume from a source pool. The creation module creates a target volume from a predefined target storage space. The target volume corresponds to the source volume. The write module writes fastcopy data from the source volume to the target volume. The apparatus, system, and method minimize user intervention and facilitate on-demand creation of target volumes from the target storage space.
