Systems and methods are directed to methods and apparatus for transferring ownership of common resources from a source entity, which owns a resource, to a destination entity, which will own the resource, in a distributed system. The method includes the source entity receiving a command to change ownership (the MOVE command), and then marking the source entity as no longer owning the common resource. The source entity then sends a MOVE command to the destination entity, which will then update its common resource ownership table to reflect that the ownership of the common resource has been transferred from the source entity to the destination entity. It is advantageous that the updating of ownership of the common resource in the source entity occur simultaneously with the dispatching of the MOVE command to the destination entity.

A stair climbing wheel and vehicles are described. The stair climbing wheel has a rolling wheel and a plurality of deployable protrusions that allow the wheel to climb stairs. The deployable protrusions can be deployed from or retracted into the rolling wheel. In the retracted position, the stair climbing wheel functions as a traditional circular wheel. These stair climbing wheels can be incorporated on a wide variety of vehicles, such as hand trucks, wheelchairs, and personal transports to allow these vehicles to climb stairs.
