  • Patent number: 11294803
    Abstract: A test suite is executed to test a computer program for a plurality of variables. A variable value is generated for each variable of the plurality of variables at a predetermined location of the computer program. Whether a test included in the test suite is successful is determined. If the test is successful, the variable value is recorded as part of a success value set. If the test is not successful, the variable value is recorded as part of a failure value set. A confidence metric is calculated for the variable value. A relevance metric for each variable of the plurality of variables is measured, based on a Jaccard distance between the success value set and the failure value set. The failure value set, the success value set, the confidence metric for the variable value, and the relevance metric for each variable of the plurality of variables are presented.

  • Patent number: 9436583
    Abstract: For debugging an application in a production environment, a breakpoint is set in the application. Responsive to the setting, recording is begun of information about a processing of a request in the application. Reaching the breakpoint is detected in the application during the processing of the request. A replica of the application is created including the breakpoint, the application becoming a primary application and the replica becoming a secondary application in a production environment. In the secondary application, a debugging operation is performed during a processing of a copy of the request after the breakpoint in the secondary application.

  • Patent number: 6525940
    Abstract: An integrated apparatus for thermal dissipation suitable for the thermal dissipation of the display chip and the memory chip on a display card. It comprises a baseboard, which contains the first side and the second side. The sets of first and second fins are located on the first side in which the first set is perpendicular to the first side and the second set forms an angle other than 90 degrees with the first side. The second side is in contact with both the display chip and the memory chip. A board hook is located on one side of baseboard that clamps on the edge of the display card. As well as, a fan is located on the first side between the sets of first and second fins.

  • Patent number: 5376835
    Abstract: A power-on reset circuit for generating and maintaining a reset signal in an active low state during power-up until a power supply voltage exceeds a predetermined level includes a resetting circuit (12a) and a control logic circuit (12b). The reset circuit is responsive to a monitoring signal, a start-up signal and a reference voltage for generating a reset signal which is initially in the active low state. The reset circuit includes a differential comparator (54) having a first input for receiving the start-up signal, a second input for receiving the reference voltage, and an output for generating the reset signal. The control logic circuit is responsive to the monitoring signal and the reset signal for generating a logic control signal which is initially in a high state. The differential comparator is responsive to the control signal and is activated only after the power supply voltage has exceeded a predetermined level so as to maintain initially the reset signal on its output in the low state.
