Generic Distributed Processing Unit for Multi-Agent Systems provides a Machine to Machine interface that is fast, flexible, redundant and scalable. The data processing system-implemented system includes a configuring module for configuring a system pathway that leads to a solution, and an associating module for associating a usage indicator with the symptom pathway, the usage indicator indicating a frequency in which the symptom pathway was previously implemented for successfully resolving previously experienced problems. Conversion between relatively upright and reclining configurations is accomplished by repositioning the tension crossmember between the frames, and turning the assembly ninety degrees to position the selected seating surface to face generally upwardly. The second header-attaching unit creates a header of bit rate A, including an ID of the destination ONU of the data of bit rate B and information concerning the data length, and attaches the header of bit rate A to the data of bit rate B. The first gas-permeable membrane, which is permeable to gas but impermeable to liquid, is disposed in the atmosphere communication hole. Additional embodiments are disclosed.
