Patent number: 11301350Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments for automated testing of systems and applications. A computing device can receive a command to execute a test, the test comprising at least one fault instruction and an alarm, the alarm being specified as an evaluation criterion for the test. The computing device can then send the fault instruction to a fault injection service. Next, the computing device can receive a message from a monitoring service, the message indicating that the alarm has been triggered subsequent to sending the fault instruction to the fault injection service. Subsequently, the computing device can determine that the test has failed based at least in part on the alarm being triggered. Finally, the computing device can send a failure notification to a predefined recipient in response to detecting that the alarm has been triggered.Type: GrantFiled: September 29, 2020Date of Patent: April 12, 2022Assignee: AMAZON TECHNOLOGIES, INC.Inventors: Jason Patrick Byrne, Kinshuk Pahare, Warren Robert Russell

Patent number: 9095834Abstract: A method of modifying a substrate using a plasma comprises providing a first electrode and a second electrode; arranging the substrate such that only a portion of the substrate is between the electrodes; and rotating either the substrate or at least one of the electrodes about an axis so as to cause different portions of the substrate to pass between the electrodes during the rotation. A voltage is supplied to at least one of the electrodes so as to create a plasma discharge between the electrodes which contacts at least the portions of the substrate that pass between the electrodes. The electrodes and the substrate are arranged such that the rotating causes the speed of transit of the substrate portion between the electrodes to vary in a radial direction away from the axis of rotation and the rate that the plasma discharge modifies the substrate varies across the substrate.Type: GrantFiled: February 8, 2012Date of Patent: August 4, 2015Assignee: Innovation Ulster LimitedInventors: Cormac Patrick Byrne, Brian Joseph Meenan, Raechelle Andrea D'Sa

Publication number: 20150161918Abstract: A label that changes appearance with time is disclosed. The label comprises a first layer that has different permeabilities to a gas in different lateral areas of the label and which comprises a substance that changes colour when in contact with the gas. The substance is arranged within the label such that the gas permeates across the thickness of the layer at different rates in different lateral areas so as to cause the substance to change colour at different rates in said different areas. Another label that changes appearance with time is disclosed that allows ink to permeate to its surface at different rates in different lateral areas.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 16, 2012Publication date: June 11, 2015Applicant: INNOVATION ULSTER LIMITEDInventors: Cormac Patrick Byrne, Brian Joseph Meenan, Cormac Flynn
