Abstract: The invention provides a diagnostic method and system for monitoring controller performance. The diagnostic system includes a tool and a controller. The tool includes a user interface that displays at least one operational status command, such that a user may select the operational status command. A controller has an operation status. The operational status command of the tool queries the operation status of the controller. As a result, the controller generates at least one operational status response. A communications path for transmission of the at least one operational status command from the tool to the controller and the at least one operational status response from the controller to the tool is provided. The user interface displays the operational status response of the controller.

Abstract: In accordance with some embodiments of the method and system of the invention, tasks are scheduled in an operating system. Task information relating to tasks processed in the operating system is obtained. A graphical user interface is generated based on the obtained task information. Loading of the operating system is determined based on the graphical user interface. Further, the scheduling of tasks may be adjusted by a user based on the loading of the operating system.

Abstract: A target system utilizes a plurality of flexible sheets as a primary projectile arresting structure. Means are provided to hold the sheets spaced apart to form a set of parallel, co-extensive layers, and to suspend the target system from above. With this configuration the layers are capable of halting a projectile through a combination of phenomena, including the transfer of kinetic energy from the projectile as it pushes against the mass of the target itself, causing a backward and forward rocking motion. The layers may be composed of a lightweight material, and the means used to hold the sheets spaced apart may form a box-like structure when brought together, with the sheets of flexible material being foldable for total inclusion therewithin for storage and portability. The box-like structure may further include a separate compartment to house equipment associated with the firing of a projectile, such as a bow and arrows.
