Abstract: Tailoring diagnostic information specific to current activity of multiple threads within a computer system. A request to dump system state is received. A system dump is created, including main memory and system state information. The system dump is stored to a database. In response to a request to format the system dump, the system dump is loaded from the database, whereby a virtual memory image of system state at system dump time is created. The virtual memory image and system state information is scanned to identify tasks that were running, tasks that have failed due to an error, and tasks that were suspended at system dump time. State information and control blocks associated with the identified tasks are collected from the system dump and collated based on task number. The database is updated with a formatted system dump, including the state information and control blocks associated with the identified tasks.

Abstract: Generating a performance policy for a server. A plurality of system metrics of a first server is monitored, and a benchmark for the plurality of system metrics based on the monitored plurality of system metrics is stored. The benchmark indicates desirable system metrics of the first server. An operating policy for a second server is generated from the stored benchmark. The operating policy includes desirable system metrics of the second server based on the desirable system metrics of the first server.

Abstract: A medical catheter or tube clamp or support structure that is secured to an infant and holds a medical tube in place to prevent the tube from pistoning (axially moving within the infant relative to the entry point). In one embodiment, the medical tube claim comprises a catheter securing system that further includes a base that further includes at least one base member, a tube support member integrally formed with at least one base member that allows the tube to be inserted into an umbilical cord or stub in a relationally secure manner to prevent the tube from pistoning within an infant, and at one least channel for receiving a tube or catheter of a specified size and for securing the tube or catheter.

Abstract: A new class of instruments extends the use or operation of futures contracts to encompass specific deliverable products on a daily settlement basis. These new instruments can be created to cover a wide range of market sectors and financial classes. The new instruments are exchange traded instruments that define exactly and exclusively the instrument to be exchanged at the end of the trading period.

Abstract: A load management system includes a load management control center, at least one power management termination system, a plurality of power line nodes, and a plurality of load management devices. This system is operable so that the load management control center may independently, or as a group, control each of the load management devices. According to one aspect of the present invention, the load management control center accesses the load management devices across a communication network that includes a power line network. The load management devices may be addressed individually. Alternately, the load management devices may be addressed as a group or set of groups by the load management control center during load shedding operations. Load management devices may include meters that are communicatively coupled to the load management control center.

Abstract: A bicycle guidance device has a handle and at least one extension for positioning the handle above and behind the seat of the bicycle. The extension preferably attaches to the bicycle in the vicinity of the rear axle, and can be pivotally engaged to the axle bolt. A pivotal positioning member is pivotally connected to the bicycle in the vicinity of the seat support, and is operatively and slidably connected to at least one of the extensions to permit the securement of the handle in a desired position. A method for teaching bicycle riding is also disclosed.

Abstract: A fishing pole holder comprises an articulated support and three adjustable elongate pole pins pivotally mounted in upright angularly spaced positions on the support each for receipt in an elongate blind bore formed in a fishing pole from its butt end, so as to support the poles in angularly displaced positions. The pins can be pivoted to adjust the vertical orientation of the poles, and the holder can be attached on any suitable support surface such as the rail or transom of a fishing boat.
