Abstract: A system allowing for path monitoring and notification in a system of switching elements and processing elements is provided. An exemplary technique uses a monitoring and notification module configured to generate and output monitoring messages across multiple paths defined by the plurality of switching elements and the plurality of processing elements, detect a fault in the system based on the monitoring messages, and generate and output multiple alert messages across the multiple paths to initiate recovery from the fault As such, a single element (or group of elements) does not become isolated from the rest of the elements in the system.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for fault analysis and fault isolation in a system of networked processors by using a central event correlation function and logical fault signature to provide for fault isolation of failed processing elements is presented. This central event correlation method uses asynchronous events from multiple input sources of same and different technologies and time-based fault correlation and ageing to match unique fault signatures and determine levels of fault recovery escalation over time. This mechanism uses an event driven recovery table to recognize a unique fault signature, count and age faults, provide fault threshold based recovery and generate events as needed to drive recovery escalation.

Abstract: A cooking utensil for use with a cooking appliance having a hingedly mounted cover includes a food engaging portion; and a shaft mounted on the food engaging portion and which supports the cover in a given spaced orientation relative to the cooking appliance.

Abstract: In accordance with the invention, a method is provided for remotely managing a plurality of network element of a telecommunications network through a special communication link including a computer internet such as a local area network, the world wide web or the Internet. A management computer is connected to an element management system server through a communication link including the computer internet. At least one of the plurality of network elements is also coupled to the element management server through the computer internet and the at least one of the plurality of network elements is managed via communications conveyed through the element management server between the management computer and the at least one network element.
