Patent number: 10958548Abstract: Replicating on a test server a production load of a production server. A plurality of messages representing the production load on the production server can be received from the production server. Each message can correspond to a respective client request received from a respective client. Responsive to receiving each message, in real time, data can be parsed from the message and, from the parsed data, a replicated client request corresponding to the client request can be generated, wherein the replicated client request includes state information representing a unique state formed between the production server and the respective client. The replicated client request can be communicated, in real time, to a test server in order to replicate the production load on the test server.Type: GrantFiled: July 23, 2019Date of Patent: March 23, 2021Assignee: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Richard J. Smith, Gary D. Williams

Patent number: 9893969Abstract: A method of replicating on a test server a production load of a production server. The method can include creating the production load on the production server by processing client requests received from clients. The method further can include, while the client requests are processed, via a processor, in real time, replicating the production load to generate a replicated production load that represents the client requests and defines state information representing unique states formed between the production server and the respective clients. The method also can include, in real time, communicating the replicated production load in order to replicate the production load on the test server.Type: GrantFiled: November 29, 2016Date of Patent: February 13, 2018Assignee: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Richard J.

Patent number: 9662061Abstract: A tool for recommending proper sun block use. The tool receives, by one or more computer processors, a first image of a user captured by a camera, and a second image of a user captured by a camera, wherein the first image is an ultraviolet image, and the second image is a digital color image. The tool determines, by one or more computer processors, areas of ultraviolet radiation vulnerability for the user captured in the first and second image. The tool determines, by one or more computer processors, a level of ultraviolet radiation vulnerability for the determined areas. The tool determines, by one or more computer processors, a recommendation for proper sun block use based, at least in part, on the level of ultraviolet radiation vulnerability.Type: GrantFiled: December 16, 2013Date of Patent: May 30, 2017Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Brian C. De Guia, Sandy Y. McDonald, Duy Q. Nguyen, Esperanza D. Rodriguez, Gary D. Williams
