20110302301CAPACITY CONTROL - There are described a system, apparatus and/or method according to which collected history data from monitorable and/or manageable entities within a server estate or data centre is used to tailor a model to the past behaviour and/or loading upon individual ones or parts of ones of the entities. The tailored model can then be used to predict a future value for one or more metrics included in the history data for an entity or part of an entity under consideration. The predicted value can then be used to determine whether some form of corrective action is required in respect of the entity, entity part or some other entity or entity part. Alternatively or in addition, predicted values for more than one entity or entity part can be aggregated to determine whether some form of corrective action is required in respect of the entity, entity part or some other entity or entity part. A corrective action can be applied on an automated or on a manual basis.12-08-2011

20110215699SOLID STATE LAMP AND BULB - Solid state lamps and bulbs comprising different combinations and arrangements of a light source, one or more wavelength conversion materials, regions or layers which are positioned separately or remotely with respect to the light source, and a separate diffuser. These are arranged on a heat sink in a manner that allows for the fabrication of lamps and bulbs that are efficient, reliable and cost effective and can provide an essentially omni-directional emission pattern, even with a light source comprised of a co-planar arrangement of LEDs. Additionally, this arrangement allows aesthetic masking or concealment of the appearance of the conversion regions or layers when the lamp is not illuminated. Various embodiments of the invention may be used to address many of the difficulties associated with utilizing efficient solid state light sources such as LEDs in the fabrication of lamps or bulbs suitable for direct replacement of traditional incandescent bulbs. Embodiments of the invention can be arranged to fit recognized standard size profiles such as those ascribed to commonly used lamps such as incandescent light bulbs, while still providing emission patterns that comply with ENERGY STARĀ® standards.09-08-2011
