Abstract: Provided is a method for mitigating the effects of an application which crashes as the result of supplemental code (e.g., plug-in), particularly a plug-in from a source other than the source of the operating system of the device or the source of the application that crashes. The method includes executing the application. As the application is running, it may be monitored to determine if normal execution of instructions ceases. When that occurs, the system will make a determination if code from a supplemental code module was the cause of the crash, and will make an evaluation if that supplemental code module is from a source other than the source(s) of the operating system and application in question. In some implementations, remedial steps may be provided, such as providing information on subsequent executions of the application.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for recognizing the operational state of a load (10) connected to the output (6, 7) of an island inverter (1). A load recognition signal (SL) is applied at specific moments in time to the output (6, 7) of the island inverter (1), during which specific electric parameters are measured on the island inverter (1), enabling the operational state of the load (10) to be determined, wherein the island inverter (1), when the load (10) is activated, is switched from a possible standby mode into a permanent operation mode and, when the load is deactivated (10), the island inverter is switched from a possible permanent operation mode to a standby mode. The invention also relates to an island inverter (1). In order to ensure reliable recognition of all possible collected loads (10), a load recognition signal (SL) with parameters (T, d, A, H, f) that are modified at least according to the type of load (10) is applied to the output (6, 7) of the island inverter (1).
