  • Patent number: 9251339
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention address deficiencies of the art in respect to core dump generation during application fault handling and provide a method, system and computer program product for privacy preservation of core dump data during application fault handling. In an embodiment of the invention, a method for privacy preservation of core dump data during application fault handling can be provided. The method can include receiving a crash signal for an application and generating a core dump with object data for the application. The method further can include obfuscating the object data in the core dump and writing the core dump with obfuscated object data to a file. In this way, the privacy of the object data in the core dump can be preserved.

  • Patent number: 9147182
    Abstract: A method, system and computer program product for prioritizing responses to communications. Various metrics (e.g., the duration of time spent in creating the communication, the number of keystrokes used in creating the communication, the number of words used in creating the communication, the number of mistakes made and corrected in creating the communication, and the number of attachments to the communication) associated with creating a communication are recorded which are used to assess an effort provided by the author in creating the communication. A weighted priority to be associated with responses to the communication is determined based on these recorded metrics. The weighted priority is then assigned to responses to such a communication. In this manner, the responses to the created communication will be able to be prioritized based on the weighted priority thereby enabling the author to determine which responses are more important to read than other responses.

  • Patent number: 8960855
    Abstract: A print head module (20) for depositing a substance has an axis and a plurality of print heads (22) provided with nozzles (23). The heads are distributed along the axis to form an elongate compound head having nozzle redundancy by arranging the heads in partially overlapping relation to one another. This allows deposition of the substance from the nozzles in uniform swathes having different angles transverse to the axis.
