  • Patent number: 11797419
    Abstract: A technique for logging tasks in a computer system. Tasks are logged into the computer system by executing at least one task at the computer system. A set of log metadata and a set of log levels of log records of the at least one task may be determined from an execution log output of the at least one task. Execution outputs of a further task may be determined according to the determined set of log metadata and associated set of log levels.

  • Publication number: 20230315753
    Abstract: In an approach, a processor receives a data manipulation request on a target database. A processor sends the data manipulation request to a source database. The source database attempts to persist a data manipulation action relating to the data manipulation request. Responsive to a successful attempt to persist the data manipulation action: the source database sends a log position of the data manipulation action to a data replication engine; a processor replicates the data manipulation request triggering the data manipulation action in the target database; and a processor confirms to the target database that the data manipulation action in the target database has been completed.

  • Patent number: 11543550
    Abstract: Implementations for monitoring seismic data recorded in a marine survey of a subterranean formation for coverage gaps are described herein. Implementations include computing Fresnel sum operators for Fresnel zones of the subterranean formation based on a Kirchhoff migration impulse response at horizons of a representative plane layer model of a survey area of the subterranean formation. Implementations also include computing an acceptability map of the survey area based on the Fresnel sum operators. The acceptability map reveals coverage gaps in the survey area. Geoscientist may use the acceptability map to infill seismic data in areas of the survey area that correspond to the coverage gaps.

  • Patent number: 11455230
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to generating an event specific log file for a computer system. The generation comprises storing buffered log data in at least one memory buffer during an execution of one or more threads in real time. The generation further comprises receiving thread execution data. The generation further comprises inputting the thread execution data into an anomalous program event detector module configured to generate an anomalous program event signal in response to detecting an anomalous program execution event. The generation further comprises searching the buffered log data for event specific log data in the at least one memory buffer with a log dependency analyzer module in response to the anomalous program event signal. The method further comprises writing the event specific log data to an event specific log file using a log archive writer module.

  • Patent number: 11310184
    Abstract: Methods are presented for classifying responses to communications. One method includes presenting, in a first user interface (UI), a message from a sender to a recipient requesting a response. The first UI includes response options of a first classification, a second classification, and an entry field for entering a free text message. Another operation is for receiving a recipient response with a selection of: (a) the first or the second button and (b) the free text message entered in the text entry field. The method further includes generating a featurized recipient response based on the free text message and the selection. An acceptance machine-learning (ML) model calculates a classification value of the recipient response from a set of possible classification values based on the featurized recipient response. The method further includes presenting, in a second UI for the sender, an indicator for the message and the calculated classification value.

  • Publication number: 20220080071
    Abstract: We present an invention that enables autonomous disinfection robots to perform their duties significantly more autonomously than previously possible. Because disinfection mechanisms, such as UV-C light and chemical disinfectant mists, are harmful to humans, robots that provide such disinfection functionality in interior spaces require people to be kept out of the areas of disinfection. Human help is currently required for opening and closing doors for the robot to secure the space during disinfection. We describe a system and method for enabling robots to perform this task safely without human help. In one embodiment this is achieved by mounting a radio-controlled, motorized shade on the door-frame of the room to be disinfected, and enabling the robot to autonomously roll that shade up and down. The shade stops significant amounts of the dangerous UV-C light or chemical disinfectants from leaving the room, enabling a robot to disinfect multiple rooms without human help.

  • Patent number: 11199273
    Abstract: A respirator directional valve (10) includes a valve housing (12), a plurality of valve flaps (16-18), which can be moved by a gas stream or by a flowing medium and are arranged at the edge, and a number of support surfaces (20-22) as a valve seat. A number of support surfaces (20-22) corresponds to a number of valve flaps (16-18). Each valve flap (16-18) is adapted to a surface of a respective support surface (20-22). The support surfaces (20-22) are sloped in relation to a cross-sectional surface through the valve housing (12). The support surfaces (20-22) together form a tip pointing in the flow direction of the respirator directional valve (10). A method for manufacturing such a respirator directional valve (10) is provided including method features relating to the use of such a respirator directional valve (10).

  • Patent number: 11160942
    Abstract: A breathing bag (20) has a tray section (21) and a bag section (22). The tray section (21) and the bag section enclose an inner volume (24) of variable size, the bag section dipping at least partially into the tray section to reduce the size of the inner volume. A system (10) includes the breathing bag, for a closed-circuit respirator (100), with a dispensing valve unit (40) having a dispensing valve (41) providing a quantity of gas in a breathing circuit. An actuating unit (42) is functionally connected mechanically to the dispensing valve for actuating the dispensing valve. A lever component (50) is functionally connected mechanically to the actuating unit for activating the actuating unit. A closed-circuit respirator has the system including the breathing bag and the dispensing valve unit. A process is provided for mounting the system, including breathing bag and dispensing valve unit, in the closed-circuit respirator.
