  • Patent number: 11087258
    Abstract: A method and system for automatically reversing a process is provided. The method includes defining a forward process comprising a set of forward activities for automatically performing an automated task. First undo activities and associated data structures, associated with undoing a first forward activity of the set of forward activities, first interdependencies between the first undo activities are defined. Additionally, first triggers comprising a first link between the first forward activity and the first undo activities are defined. Second undo activities and associated data structures, associated with undoing a second forward activity as well as second interdependencies between the second undo activities are defined. Additional second triggers comprising a second link between the second forward activity and the second undo activities are defined.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 8866629
    Abstract: A method, computer program product, and computer system for monitoring for electrostatic discharge (ESD) events. An ESD monitor for potential of electrostatic discharge events in a sensed area through a plurality of ESD sensors coupled to the ESD monitor. The monitor senses for a charge level which could cause ESD event and entry of an operator into a sensed area. If an ESD event is detected, issue an ESD event alert to the operator and recording data to a tangible storage device; determine environmental factors at time and date of the ESD event; compare the ESD event and associated environmental factors to other ESD events with associated environmental factors; and determine if a correlation exists between the ESD event and associated environmental factors and the other ESD events with associated environmental factors.
