  • Patent number: 8589890
    Abstract: A system, method, computer program product, and program storage device for storing trace information of a program is disclosed. Upon entering or calling a subroutine, a memory buffer is created. Whenever a nested subroutine is called inside the subroutine, a subordinate memory buffer is created. Upon completion of a subroutine execution, a corresponding memory buffer is deleted. When encountering an event (e.g., an error, a defect, a failure, a warning) during execution, all data in currently existing memory buffers are transferred to a secondary memory storage device (e.g., a disk).
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 5117359
    Abstract: The invention comprises a microburst detection and measurement system having a plurality of SENSTRANS units positioned at spaced intervals, each SENSTRANS unit monitoring humidity, wind speed, wind direction, barometric pressure, and temperature. The sensors transmit the observed weather conditions to a central data processing and display unit via RF, FM transmission. The data processing and display unit collects and assimilates the data to determine if the measured parameters indicate the likely presence of microburst or other weather hazards. If so, it issues a weather hazard warning both visually and audibly.
