Patent number: 11366745Abstract: A processor-implemented method, system, and/or computer program product determines a testing regime for program code created in a development system. A risk factor of a user of the development system is calculated based on information relating to previous activities of the user. The calculated risk factor, which describes a likelihood of the user damaging the development system, is used to determine a testing regime for testing program code.Type: GrantFiled: January 16, 2020Date of Patent: June 21, 2022Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Timothy McCormick, Alexander D. S. Mirski-Fitton, Edwin P. J. Moffatt, Ross B. Pavitt

Publication number: 20210273150Abstract: Thermoelectric devices and methods of using thermoelectric devices. A thermoelectric device includes a thermoelectric element comprised of a material having a non-zero Berry curvature. The device may operate as a Nernst generator that generates electricity in response to application of a temperature gradient to the thermoelectric element, or as an Ettingshausen cooler that pumps heat into or out of an object to be heated or cooled in response to application of a current to the thermoelectric element. In either application, the non-zero Berry curvature of the material allows the device to operate without an externally applied magnetic field.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 17, 2021Publication date: September 2, 2021Inventors: Joseph P. Heremans, Sarah Watzman, Nandini Trivedi, Timothy McCormick, Claudia Felser

Patent number: 9444766Abstract: Exemplary embodiments for use in a communications source network node for identifying a destination port associated with a destination network node to which a selected network link is connected. The embodiments include receiving a communications protocol packet at a destination network node via said selected network link connected to the destination port associated with the destination network node; inspecting the packet for a predetermined identifier; and if the predetermined identifier is present in said packet then outputting an indication that the identifier has been received comprising an identification of the destination port via which the packet was received. The indication is output by at least one of illumination for a pre-set period of a destination switch associated with the destination port, and by an output provided via a user interface of a network interface controller associated with the destination port.Type: GrantFiled: August 2, 2013Date of Patent: September 13, 2016Assignee: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Timothy McCormick, Alexander D.

Patent number: 8875048Abstract: A method for controlling a graphical user interface (GUI) comprises preparing a window for displaying at an intended display location in a window display operation. The location of GUI control elements of the window at the intended display location and the location of a graphical cursor are identified. GUI control element location and the graphical cursor location are compared. The window display operation is modified if the two coincide, for example by moving the window display location so that they do not coincide.Type: GrantFiled: October 23, 2012Date of Patent: October 28, 2014Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Timothy McCormick, Alexander Mitchell, Adam J. Pilkington, Stuart P. Wilkinson
