Abstract: [Problem] As a multi-layered sliding member aimed at applications in high temperature regions, there has been proposed slide sheet components each having a metal mesh component such as an expanded metal or wire mesh and an expanded graphite integrated therewith, but a problem remains in the strength when applied to sliding members such as bearings, allowing only a limited range of applications. It is therefore a subject of the present invention to provide a multi-layered sliding member suitable for applications under high temperatures under which lubricating oils or synthetic resins are not adoptable, and to provide a method of manufacturing the same. [Solving Means] A multi-layered sliding member 7 of the present invention has a metal mesh component 5 such as a expanded metal 50, integratedly bonded to the surface of a back metal 3 while placing in between a porous sintered bronze layer 4 integratedly bonded to the back metal 3, and an expanded graphite 8 formed so as to fill the openings of the metal mesh component 5 and so as to cover the surface of the metal mesh component 5.

Abstract: A method of operating a data centre is disclosed in which the distribution of processing load takes into account the discrete steps that occur in power consumption by cooling equipment (e.g. an increase in speed of a fan from one preset speed to another preset speed or the starting of an additional air-conditioning unit). For each of a number of cooling regions, data representing expected increases in power consumption resulting from the running of additional software on a processor within that cooling region are stored in persistent storage. On receiving a request from an application for additional resource, a power management component for a cooling region within the data centre looks up the stored data and predicts a temperature rise for the cooling region if the additional resource was to be provided from within the cooling region. If the temperature rise is sufficient to trigger a step change in the power consumption of air-conditioning equipment (including fans and coolers), then an attempt is made to provide the requested resource from a different cooling region.
