Abstract: 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.

Abstract: The invention provides a material feed process for magnetically separating magnetic and non-magnetic particles from a material feed by means of a magnetic roller separator wherein the process is characterised therein that particle separation is independent of centrifugal force, and where the process can equally well be applied to both wet and dry particle separation. The process specifically provides feeding the particles at an incident zone above the horizontal axis centre line, and separating the magnetic and non-magnetic particles at opposite rotational sides of the roller.
