SystemTechniques · 28Primitives · 102 medication-management Deterministic simulation testingdistributed · medium: Run the whole system in one thread under a seeded scheduler with simulated network, disk and clock, so every failure replays from its seed.›Offline mutation queuedistributed · medium: Apply actions locally at once and queue them durably; on reconnect replay the queue idempotently, then re-apply unconfirmed ones on the server state.›Primary-backup replicationdistributed · medium: One node orders all writes and ships them to standbys; the acknowledgement rule (none, one, all) sets what a crash loses, and an external arbiter decides who takes over.›A/B partition updatesembedded · medium: Two bootable slots and a small atomic metadata block: write the new image to the idle slot, try it once, and fall back by itself unless it reports healthy.›Safety-critical coding standardsembedded · medium: Which rule sets (MISRA C, CERT C, JPL Power of Ten, Rust lint subsets) apply when software must not fail, what they forbid, and how to enforce them in CI.›Safety monitor architectureembedded · medium: Independent doer/checker safety monitor that forces a safe state when the main channel misbehavesBiometric template matchingmachine-learning · medium: Fingerprint minutiae, iris codes and face embeddings: 1:1 verify and 1:N search with FAR/FRR tuningWatchdog timerembedded · low: A hardware down-counter that resets the chip unless software proves, in time and in a plausible pattern, that it is still healthy.›Dual control approvalsecurity · low: Four-eyes / maker-checker approval with quorum policies for sensitive operationsBarcode symbologiesdata-structures · low: Encode/decode 1D and 2D barcodes (Code 128, DataMatrix, QR) with their error correctionHdr histogramdata-structures · low: Log-linear bucketed histograms with bounded relative error for latency percentilesPreemptive priority schedulingembedded · low: Always run the highest-priority ready task, switching the instant a higher one becomes ready; selection is O(1) with one FIFO per priority and a bitmap.›Soft hard limitsembedded · low: Pump drug library with per-drug soft and hard limits on dose rate and concentration, by care area, checked before infusion startsProcess supervisionhardware-os · low: A parent process starts services, reaps their exits and restarts them under a delay and burst-limit policy, then stops them with SIGTERM before SIGKILL.›Isolation forestmachine-learning · low: Score each record by how few random axis-aligned splits it takes to isolate it in a small forest of random trees; anomalies are few and different, so they isolate fast.›Fhir resource modelnetworking · low: FHIR resources, references, search parameters and REST interactions for health data exchangeHl7v2 message parsingnetworking · low: HL7 v2 pipe-delimited segments, escaping, ACKs and MLLP framing for clinical interfacesPID controllerrobotics · low: Drive a measured value to a setpoint with three terms on the error: proportional, integral, derivative. The default feedback loop for motors, heaters, drones and gimbals.›Step pulse schedulingrobotics · low: Timer-scheduled stepper pulses (DDA/Bresenham, precomputed step times) synchronized across axesAuthorization models (RBAC, ABAC, R…security · low: How to decide who may do what to which object; roles for coarse rules, relationships for sharing, and checks on every object.›Mutual TLSsecurity · low: TLS where the client also proves a certificate key, so every connection carries a verified, rotatable machine identity.›Graceful drainingsystems · low: On a termination signal, stop taking new work, finish in-flight work until a deadline, tell clients to reconnect elsewhere, then exit; clients resume from a token.›Hierarchical state machinesystems · low: Nest states so a substate inherits its parent's reactions and only overrides what differs, with ordered entry and exit actions along the path.›+ 21 more techniques+ 86 more primitives
