In a first area of a persistent memory, data is stored that defines a known good state that is operable to launch the computing device to the known good state in response to a reboot. In response to a write request to the first area of persistent memory, the requested write is directed to a second area of the persistent memory and a record of redirected writes to the second area of persistent memory is updated. A request is received to establish an update to the known good state. The updated known good state is operable to launch the computing device to the updated known good state in response to a reboot. In response to the request, the record is persisted such that in response to a reboot, the record is usable to restore the redirected writes, thereby launching the computing device to the updated known good state.

Configurable recovery states

In a first area of a persistent memory, state data is stored that defines a known good state that is operable to launch a computing device to the known good state in response to a reboot. Allocation information indicative of free and allocated portions of the persistent memory is accessed. In response to a write request to the first area of persistent memory, when the write request is to an allocated portion of the persistent memory, the requested write is redirected to a second area of the persistent memory. A record of redirected writes to the second area of persistent memory is updated. When the write request is to a free portion of the persistent memory, the write request is allowed to be executed in the first area of persistent memory. The record of redirected writes is updated with the writes to the second area of persistent memory.

Free space pass-through

A mobility device for assisting an individual with limited or altered mobility due to a leg injury or condition. The mobility device includes a rod that defines a longitudinal axis of the mobility device, a foot rest slidably mounted for longitudinal translation along the rod, a seat located at an upper end of the mobility device, and an impact-absorbing mechanism for absorbing impacts transferred from the seat to the rod. The device is configured for securing the thigh of the user's leg to the seat, and securing the foot of the user's leg to the foot rest.
