  • Patent number: 9645869
    Abstract: A method of using exception information for binary code. The method comprises: receiving exception information relating to an exception occurring during execution of binary code, the exception information including a code reference identifying a function executing while the exception occurred, and a line number for that function. The method also comprises: accessing intermediate code using the code reference and the line number to obtain intermediate code fragments; converting the intermediate code fragments to a source code approximation; and providing the source code approximation and function name to a log for subsequent analysis.

  • Patent number: 9135020
    Abstract: A filter driver arranged to be executed on a processor of a terminal. The filter driver, when executed, is arranged to (i) receive a request for a first resource relating to a device installed in the terminal; (ii) determine if the requested first resource is appropriate for the device; and (iii) provide a second resource if the first resource is inappropriate for the device.

  • Publication number: 20090304196
    Abstract: A series of signal processing features incorporated into its design that is both functional and decorative, to enhance convenience and performance among vocalists. A hollow, cylinder shaped body is oriented lie a conventional microphone, featuring a cardioid pickup pattern and a dynamic diaphragm, as well as a three-pin/XLR connector, a grill, and an integral pop filter. A transmitter handling the conversion of the audio signal into a radio signal and broadcasts it through an antenna, is built into the handle of the microphone, resulting in a wireless microphone that is slightly larger than a standard wired microphone. The microphone also has a shock-absorption system that reduces noise while the microphone is being handled buy the vocalist during a performance.
