  • Patent number: 11050678
    Abstract: A method of prioritizing communication in networks on a situation-related basis includes comparing a quantity of incoming communications to a predetermined threshold to determine whether an overload is occurring. The method further includes analyzing content of incoming communications, in response to determining that an overload is occurring, to determine whether the overload is related to a particular situation. The method further includes grouping incoming communications, in response to determining that the overload is related to the particular situation, into prioritized communications and non-prioritized communications. The method further includes transmitting the prioritized communications. The method further includes retaining, without transmitting, the non-prioritized communications in a repository so long as the overload is occurring.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 24, 2019
    Date of Patent: June 29, 2021
    Assignee: International Business Machines Corporation
    Inventors: Ole Fenske, Volker Schölles, Thomas Hermann Gnech, Stephan Berthold Sell, Heike Cornelia Schmidt

  • Patent number: 9427826
    Abstract: A hand-guided marking system (1) is disclosed, which is furnished with a radiation source (2) for applying a marking (100) to a surface (101) of a workpiece (102). A camera (4) and at least one illumination device (6) are used for recording a part of the surface (101) of the workpiece (102). A protective housing (10) is mounted on a carrier frame (12) and has an opening (14) in the protective housing (10) that is located opposite the surface (101) of the workpiece (102). The beam source (2) is positioned in the carrier frame (12) in such manner that an optical axis (16) of the beam source (2) passes through the opening of the protective housing (10).
