Abstract: The methods concern fully utilizing storage capacity in a heterogenous hierarchic disk array (10) having storage disks (12) of differing capacities. The disks (12) are segmented into multiple regions (35). One method links non-contiguous regions from individual storage disks to form RAID areas. The RAID areas are mapped into a virtual storage space (40) that provides a view of the physical storage space as a single storage volume. Data is then stored in these RAID areas according to different redundancy criteria, such as RAID Level 1 and RAID Level 5. A second method fully utilizes of storage capacity by configuring the heterogeneous disk array to employ a minimum of two equal-sized storage disks that have larger capacity than other individual storage disks in the disk array. The contiguous regions across the multiple disks are then grouped together to form the RAID areas.

Abstract: A non-crosslinked polymer, comprising a preformed aqueous emulsion having a plurality of silanol-terminated polydiorganosiloxane particles, a functionalizing silane having the formula RQSi(X)₂ where X is a hydrolyzable group, Q is an organic functional group which does not prevent a condensation reaction between X and a silanol-terminated polydiorganosiloxane molecule, R is Q or a saturated monovalent hydrocarbon group of from one to six carbon atoms and an organotin catalyst. The composition results in a non-crosslinked polymer, unlike the polymers described in the prior art. We have found that adding a functionalizing silane having only two hydrolyzable groups to a preformed polydiorganosiloxane emulsion results in functionalized polydiorganosiloxane molecules which are free of crosslinks between the polydiorganosiloxane chains.

Abstract: A method of entrapping a water-soluble substance in vesicles formed from a surface active siloxane is carried out by dissolving the substance to be entrapped in water, adding the surface active siloxane, mildly agitating the mixture and removing excess water and substance. Water-insoluble substances are entrapped in the vesicles by dissolving the substance to be entrapped in the surface active siloxane and mildly agitating the substance and the siloxane. The surface active siloxanes essentially consist of tetravalent SiO 2  units and monovalent R 3 SiO 1/2  and R'R 2 SiO 1/2  units. The ratio of monovalent units to tetravalent units is from 0.4:1 to 2:1 and from 40 to 90% of all monovalent units are R'R 2 SiO 1/2  units. R is a monovalent hydrocarbon group with up to eight carbon atoms and R' is a polyoxyalkylene group.

Abstract: An output driver circuit for an integrated circuit is disclosed, where the output driver drives an output terminal with a high logic level having a voltage limited from the power supply voltage of the integrated circuit. The limited voltage is provided by applying a limited output high voltage to an output buffer, such that the drive signal applied to the gate of the pull-up transistor in the output driver is limited by the limited output high voltage applied to the output buffer. A voltage reference and regulator circuit for generating the limited output high voltage is also disclosed, and is based on a current mirror. The sum of the current in the current mirror is controlled by a bias current source, which may be dynamically controlled within the operating cycle or programmed by way of fuses, so that the output impedance of the voltage reference and regulator circuit may be selected. Slew rate control for output driver transistors is also provided, under the control of a bias circuit that generates a tracking reference voltage; the reference voltage may also be programmed by way of fuses or by control signals, so that the slew rate may also be selected.

Abstract: A method determines the number of servers as a function of time required for a finite server queueing system based on a projected load. The number of servers is chosen subject to the constraint that the probability of delay before beginning service does not exceed a target probability at all times. The finite server queueing system is first advantageously modeled as an infinite-server system and the mean and variance of the number of busy servers at time  t  is determined and a distribution is approximated. For any time, the number of servers is chosen to be the least number so that the probability that these are all busy is less than the target probability. As an optional refinement, the infinite server target tail probability is then related to the actual delay probability in the finite server system.

Abstract: In treatment of waste waters, during periods of normal flow the waste water (11) is fed into a de-sanding vessel (2) where sand is allowed to settle out and is collected (22) and separated from the water stream (3), which is given further treatment. During periods of heavy flow the waste water stream is mixed with a coagulant agent (80) in a turbulent zone. It is then dosed with a coagulant agent (80) in a turbulent zone. It is then dosed with a flocculant (90) and ballast sand (64) and mixed (15) with sufficient turbulence to keep the sand in suspension while the colloidal particles aggregate around it. The mixture is then allowed to settle and separate in the decanting vessel (2). The recovered muds are separated (54 and 63) and a proportion of the ballast sand recycled.

Abstract: A mechanism for loading or unloading a container (7) onto a tray (1) attached to or attachable to a truck or trailer vehicle. The mechanism includes a swing through assembly at each end of the tray, each assembly incorporating a centrally mounted telescoping boom (12), a lower part of which incorporates an extension to which opposed hydraulic rams (15, 16) are linked. The hydraulic rams are adapted to control the swinging movement of the boom when one retracts and the other extends. Each assembly can also incorporate on each side of the tray a stabilising leg (29, 30). In a travelling position the stabilising legs are parked generally upright on or relative to the tray and the boom is retracted to be either upright on the tray or angled slightly from vertical to minimise the vertical height of the vehicle. In an operative position the stabilising legs can be down in contact with the ground and the booms are extended to enable cables, chains or straps to be used to raise a container and swing it on or off the tray of the vehicle. Alternatively the invention provides a means of stacking containers on a tray of a truck or trailer vehicle or on the ground. The telescoping boom can incorporate rollers to assist telescoping of the members forming the boom. The tray can be removable from the deck or chassis of the truck or trailer unit.
