Abstract: A non-intrusive method and system for recovering the state of a computer system including a memory having first and second matched levels. The first level is connected to a target processor and the second level is connected to a checkpoint processor which is also connected to the target processor. In an example of the invention, a two phase, non-intrusive method and system for debugging parallel computer programs is provided. The program has checkpoint instructions therein. In the first phase the execution of the program is monitored non-intrusively from a bus connecting the target processor to the first level of memory. A sequence of relevant program instructions is stored in an event table. Upon encountering a checkpoint instruction, the target processor cues the checkpoint processor to initiate a non-intrusive checkpointing strategy utilizing the two-level memory with an E-bit scheme.

Abstract: Systems and methods for performing tele-operations with the active assistance and supervision of a cognitive agent, such as a human being, who generates a future path plan in real time for immediate use by an automated on-line controlled agent, such as a work robot or other manipulator, are disclosed. The systems and methods may employ a visual display to present images of the controlled agent, of a foward simulation of the controlled agent, and of the future path plan being generated to enable a human operator to assess and control the on-going activity. The system simultaneously operates the controlled agent and produces the forward simulation and path plan, all under real time conditions. The cognitive agent, display and forward simulation equipment may be at one location and the controlled agent and its controller at another remote location.

Abstract: A caster assembly adapted for incorporation in the frame of a suitcase, the caster assembly comprising a caster housing with a housing recess enclosing a major portion of the swivelable caster wheel, housing side walls limiting its swivel range, and a swivel bearing with a stationary journal plate attachable to the bottom wall of the caster housing by means of a slot-engaging protrusion and rivets. The caster housing may be an integral part of the suitcase frame.

Abstract: A new and distinct pear tree named ‘PremP009’ is disclosed. The new pear is notable for its attractive appearance, superb texture, improved flavor and long shelf life.

Abstract: A new and distinct apple variety of Malus domestica named ‘HOT84A1’ and characterized by its attractive appearance, its dark red color, and is notable for its long storage life. The variety results from crossing the apple varieties ‘Scired’ (not patented) and ‘Scilate’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 20,477) in Havelock North, New Zealand.
