Abstract: Techniques are described for asynchronous incident response actions. An example system includes a memory that stores instructions and one or more processors that execute the instructions to: process, with an event processing module, indications of events from a monitored system to generate an events data stream; transform, with an alert processing module and based on account settings data from an accounts settings data stream, events data from the events data stream into one or more alerts to generate at least a portion of an alerts data stream, the events data corresponding to an offset within the events data stream; map, with an incident mapping module and based on alerts data from the alerts data stream, the one or more alerts to an incident; and store, with the incident mapping module and to a storage device, an indication of the offset within the events data stream.

Abstract: A positioning mechanism for a cooking apparatus or a cooking apparatus that includes the the positioning mechanism. The cooking apparatus includes a concave open top housing, a cover dimensioned and configured to engage the open top housing, a hinge coupling the housing and the cover to allow movement of the cover from a fully closed position to a fully open position, and a positioning mechanism to lock the relative positions of the housing and the cover, the positioning mechanism includes an L-shaped rod fixed to the cover and an eye bolt fixed to the housing, the rod extending through the eye bolt, the positioning mechanism further including a generally planar member having at least one part thereof having an upstanding portion for impacting the eye bolt and moving the planar member into oblique relationship with respect to the rod whereby the planar member is locked with respect to the rod. In some forms of the invention the upstanding portion may be a knee shaped bend.
