Performance anomalies in complex systems can be difficult to identify and diagnose. In an example, CPU-usage associated with one or more of the systems can be determined. An anomalous event can be determined based on the determined CPU-usage. In some examples, based at least in part on determining the event, the system may be controlled in a safe state and/or reconfigured to obviate the anomalous event.

Safe system operation using CPU usage information

Techniques for capturing and recording processor events and scheduler data in a production system on a per processing resource basis are discussed herein. In some examples, a process metric collection component may be associated with the scheduler and the processing resource such that the process metric collection component can capture real time data associated with the processes or threads both executed by the processing resource and waiting to execute on the processing resource. The captured data may be used by the system to monitor operations.

Continuous tracing and metric collection system

Performance anomalies in complex systems can be difficult to identify and diagnose. In an example, latency associated with one or more of the systems can be determined. An anomalous event can be determined based on the determined latency. In some examples, based at least in part on determining the event, the system may be controlled in a safe state and/or reconfigured to obviate the anomaly.

Safe system operation using latency determinations

An extendable-length, spine immobilizing backboard is disclosed. The backboard is collapsible to the length of a standard backboard for ease of storage and for use in supporting and transporting patients of average height, and a lower portion is telescopically extendable from an upper portion so as to adjustably accommodate patients of above average height. The upper and lower portions are joined by side shafts that telescopically insert into hollow tubes so as to form hand rails on either side of the backboard, and by a flat, rigid central extension that is slidably insertable into a central cavity so as to provide patient support across a gap between the upper and lower portions. The backboard can be collapsed to a length that is six feet, and extended to a length of eighty inches. In some embodiments, the backboard is wider than a standard backboard, being preferably 21 inches wide.

Adjustable-length spine-immobilizing backboard

A pouch packaging machine and method of selectively changing the orientation of a pouch packaging machine. The pouch packaging machine has at least one spool for holding at least one roll of packaging film material. The packaging film material advance through a press that joins the packaging film material together to form a pouch. The spools and press are supported on a common housing. The housing has a plurality of sides. Identical mounts are disposed on at least some of the sides of the housing. A base platform is provided. The mounts on the various sides of the housing are all configured to engage the base platform. This enables the housing of the pouch packaging machine to attach to the base platform in one of a multitude of possible orientations.
