Patent number: 8407368Abstract: A method, apparatus and computer readable medium is provided for tracking processes using a socket object. The processes are utilized to execute an application program. Initially, a process list for the socket object is created, such that the process list contains a process identifier for a first process using the socket object. If a second process is using the socket object, the process list is updated to include the process identifier for the second process.Type: GrantFiled: May 30, 2008Date of Patent: March 26, 2013Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Mark Linus Bauman, Paul Richard Chmielewski, Christopher Thomas Gloe, Dawn Marie May, Jay Robert Weeks

Patent number: 8393273Abstract: Bullets, including lead-free bullets with frangible cores, are described herein. In some embodiments, a bullet includes a jacket having an inner surface defining a cavity having an open end and a closed end. The bullet also includes a lead-free core positioned within the cavity and extending from the closed end to a first intermediate portion of the cavity. The core includes a plurality of particles that are compacted within the cavity to form the core. The bullet also includes a seal positioned within the cavity and extending from the first intermediate portion to a second intermediate portion of the cavity. The seal abuts the inner surface of the jacket, thereby substantially sealing off the core within the cavity. The bullet may also include a polymeric tip having a forward portion projecting forward from the open end and a rearward portion extending rearward into the cavity.Type: GrantFiled: January 14, 2010Date of Patent: March 12, 2013Assignee: Nosler, Inc.Inventors: Robert Weeks, Robert Nosler, Mike Lake

Patent number: 7840849Abstract: In a computing system environment, methods and architecture relate to debugging software programs. The programs, regardless of size, are culled for substantially all memory and register writes (and flow control). An indexing and compression occurs so that upon a later query, and decompression (and display), a user can find and diagnose defects in the software program. To efficiently reconstruct the contents of any memory location or register, backwards tracing of events is comprehensively known for all time, not just select periods. Efficiencies in the indexing function include bunching, replacing actual memory locations with pattern(s) representative of same and dividing an execution history of the software program into manageable sections. Nuances for memory or register effects are also contemplated. Still other embodiments contemplate stand-alone computer program products (on computer-readable media or as a download, or other) or those working in conjunction with other debugging programs.Type: GrantFiled: December 21, 2006Date of Patent: November 23, 2010Assignee: Novell, Inc.Inventor: Robert Weeks O'Callahan

Patent number: 7822814Abstract: Method, apparatus and article of manufacture for acquiring a buffer after data from a remote sender (e.g., client) has been received by a local machine (e.g., server). Because the client data has already been received when the buffer is acquired, the buffer may be sized exactly to the size of the client data. In general, the buffer may be caller supplied or system supplied.Type: GrantFiled: March 27, 2008Date of Patent: October 26, 2010Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Mark Linus Bauman, Bob Richard Cernohous, Kent L.
