A brake pad support for a model vehicle is provided, comprising a plate for supporting a brake pad on a first face, the plate having one or more ribs extending from a second face on the opposite side of the plate from the first surface, and wherein the one or more ribs stiffen the plate to distribute compressive forces applied to the second face at one or more locations. Characteristic data in respect of a dynamic system is monitored and provided with at least one known normal state. The upstream end of the embolic protection device is open for blood to flow between the conical inner structure and the cylindrical outer structure. The data glyph can record distinct job attributes and the plurality of reference patches can record color parameters of a desired output. During use, a tape is transversed over the first cleaning head, with contact at leading edges formed by the ridges removing relatively large and loose particles. The illustrative embodiment comprises a plurality of servers, a queue of jobs to be assigned to the servers, and two queue managers\u2014a primary unit and a secondary unit\u2014such that the secondary fills in for the primary unit while the primary unit is down.
