  • Patent number: 11442739
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a method, system, and computer program product for exception handling. In some embodiments, a method is disclosed. According to the method, in response to an application throwing an exception, a target stack frame for handling the exception is detected from a call stack of the application. The call stack comprises a plurality of stack frames. One of the plurality of stack frames corresponds to a function called by the application and supports either a one-phase exception handling mechanism or a two-phase exception handling mechanism. In response to the target stack frame being detected from the call stack, the target stack frame is caused to handle the exception. In other embodiments, a system and a computer program product are disclosed.

  • Publication number: 20200080664
    Abstract: A conduit and component support system for support of flexible, semi flexible or ridged conduit, pipe, wire, or similar, herein referred to as conduit which is comprised of one or more attachment points completing the underlying supporting framework for conduits. This system may be comprised of a nonmetallic elastomeric material or similar where a conduit can either be placed on the support or inserted into an insert opening within the support. This system provides support for conduit elongated runs and also to where the joining of conduits is made, where changes in direction are made, or where attachment points are made within a conduit system. Examples: 90 degree turns, tee fittings, couplings, valves, junction boxes, or similar to those previously mentioned. The system may also provide; physical protection, allowance for expansion and contraction, corrosion protection, dielectric protection, wear protection, identification, vibration and shock protection for conduits, the system, or structures.

  • Patent number: 9858055
    Abstract: An illustrative embodiment provides a computer-implemented method for an alternate type system for optimizing the evaluation and use of meta-template instantiations. The computer-implemented method obtains a source code, instantiates an element of the source code to form an instantiated element and identifies a meta-template within the instantiated element to form an identified meta-template. The computer-implemented method creates an entry for the identified meta-template in a first data structure, wherein the entry comprises a set of mapped entries, creates an associated entry in a second data structure linked to the entry comprising the set of mapped entries, wherein the associated entry represents the set of mapped entries, and uses the associated entry of the second data structure in combination with the entry of the first data structure.

  • Patent number: 9605871
    Abstract: A burner system for a furnace. The system may have a wedged or other shaped burner box. An air-fuel mixer may be attached to a smaller end of the burner box at virtually any angle relative to a direction of a gas and air mixture leaving the larger box end. A burner head may be attached to the larger end of the box. The burner head may be sufficient for numerous heater sections of a heat exchanger. A spacer and a radiation shield may be situated between the burner head and heat exchanger. An addition of the radiation shield may reduce the operating temperature of the burner box, burner head and/or spacer. A fan may move the gas and air mixture from the mixer, through the box and the burner head. The mixture may be ignited into a flame which is moved into the heat exchanger.

  • Patent number: 9239265
    Abstract: The invention is an optical method and apparatus for measuring the temperature of semiconductor substrates in real-time, during thin film growth and wafer processing. Utilizing the nearly linear dependence of the interband optical absorption edge on temperature, the present method and apparatus result in highly accurate measurement of the absorption edge in diffuse reflectance and transmission geometry, in real time, with sufficient accuracy and sensitivity to enable closed loop temperature control of wafers during film growth and processing. The apparatus operates across a wide range of temperatures covering all of the required range for common semiconductor substrates.
