  • Patent number: 10877873
    Abstract: Techniques are provided to use historic execution state information to visualize tracepoint data. For example, historic execution state information corresponding to an application's previous execution is accessed. This historic execution state information was collected while the application was executing. After correlating the historic execution state information to the application's code, a tracepoint is associated with a portion of the code. Consequently, when the code is replayed based on the historic execution state information, the tracepoint causes a behavior of that code portion to be logged while the code is replayed uninterrupted. The code is then actually replayed based on the historic execution state information. During the replay, the tracepoint causes the behavior of the code portion to be logged. The logged behavior is visualized on a user interface.

  • Publication number: 20200382500
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer readable mediums for securely establishing credential data for a computing device are disclosed. According to one example, a method includes assigning, by a credential manager, credential set data to a computing device and mapping the credential set data to a device identifier key associated with the computing device in a credential data store accessible by the credential manager. The method further includes receiving, from a provisioning service client, a credential set request message including the device identifier key by the credential manager in response to an activation of the computing device at a customer location site and sending, by the credential manager to the provisioning service client, the credential set data for authenticating the computing device at the customer location site.

  • Patent number: 10846199
    Abstract: Protecting sensitive information in connection with a trace of an original execution of an entity. Embodiments include identifying that original information—which was accessed based on an original execution of one or more original executable instructions of the entity—comprises sensitive information. Based on the original information comprising the sensitive information, embodiments include performing one or both of (i) storing first trace data comprising alternative information—rather than the original information, while ensuring that an execution path that was taken by the entity based on the original information is also taken during replay of the original execution of the entity; or (ii) storing second trace data that causes zero or more alternative executable instructions—rather than the one or more original executable instructions of the entity—to be executed during the replay of the original execution of the entity.

  • Patent number: 10846198
    Abstract: Automatic navigation of a user from a log statement that is selected by the user from a log to a code expression that was executed to generate the selected log statement. The computing system automatically identifies one or more code expressions as candidates for having generated the log statement, and then maps the log statement to these identified candidate code expressions in the code. In response to input from the user selecting the log expression, the computing system uses the mapping to visually provide a correlation between the log statement and the particular code expression, where the one or more mapped code expressions includes the particular code expression that actually generated the log statement.

  • Publication number: 20200357133
    Abstract: A system for surveying a surface (2) to measure a physical or chemical property associated with the surface. The system includes a handheld probe (4) measuring a physical or chemical property at locations over a surface (2). The video camera (12) captures video data of a user (6) using the handheld probe (4) to survey the surface. The depth sensing device (14) measures the distance to the handheld probe (4). Processing circuitry identifies the handheld probe from the video data and determines the position of the handheld probe (4) relative to the surface (2). A data recorder and/or a data transmitter records and/or transmits data representative of the physical or chemical property measured by the handheld probe (4) and data representative of the associated position of the handheld probe, when the handheld probe (4) is determined to be less than a threshold distance from the surface (2) being surveyed.

  • Publication number: 20200285640
    Abstract: The present approach assigns a code to each node class of a data tree modeling a database. The node class codes may be used to generate a node class path for each node class. This class path may be used as a discriminator to reference a given node class or portion of the tree including the class path and may be stored in a field of the database and/or cached. Use of the class path in query operations reduces the complexity of certain queries, thereby speeding up query performance.
