  • Patent number: 11681606
    Abstract: One or more processors examine source code of one or more software packages that produce output messages and identify, in the source code, one or more call expressions that each represent a logging call. The one or more processors generate a number of search patterns for parsing output messages produced by the one or more software packages, wherein each of the search patterns is based on one or more arguments of a corresponding call expression of the one or more call expressions. The one or more processors further reduce the number of search patterns to be applied to the output messages produced by the one or more software packages to identify log entries among the output messages.

  • Patent number: 11643254
    Abstract: What is proposed is a closure unit consisting of a glass container (50) with external, circumferentially offset threaded elements (54, 55) on a container neck (52) of the glass container, and a closure cover made of sheet metal, wherein the closure cover (1, 2) has an encircling plastics layer (30; 30h, 30v) on the inside of the cover. The closure cover is pressed onto the container neck (52) and can be opened with a rotational movement via the threaded elements (54, 55) and a vertical section (30v) of the plastics layer. The container neck (52) has a horizontal end surface (52a) on which a horizontal section (30h) of the plastics layer rests under pressure in a sealing manner. A central region (11) of the closure cover passes with an adjoining, circumferentially oriented transition zone (11a, 11b, 11c) into an axially downwardly projecting skirt section (12) which ends in a roll-up region (21a, 21; 22).
