Abstract:
Method, apparatus, system and computer program product for analyzing and reporting the status of an adapter in a data processing system. The system includes a service application having the capability of providing a variety of service functions to permit data to be captured regarding the status of the adapter, and a communication structure to permit data to be transmitted to and received from the service application. The analyzing and reporting system of the invention facilitates the reporting and diagnosis of adapter problems so that encountered problems can be better understood and more easily corrected.
Abstract:
A method, system, and computer program product is disclosed for customizing a synthesized voice based upon audible input voice data. The input voice data is typically in the form of one or more predetermined paragraphs being read into a voice recorder. The input voice data is then analyzed for adjustable voice characteristics to determine basic voice qualities (e.g., pitch, breathiness, tone, speed; variability of any of these qualities, etc.) and to identify any “specialized speech patterns”. Based upon this analysis, the characteristics of the voice utilized to read text appearing on the screen are modified to resemble the input voice data. This allows a user of the system to easily and automatically create a voice that is familiar to the user.
Abstract:
A system is disclosed and claimed for debugging Ethernet adapters and Ethernet adapter device drivers by automatically monitoring Ethernet adapter functionality and automatically turning on debug traces upon detecting incorrect Ethernet adapter functionality. An embodiment maintains a counter representing the number of incorrect Ethernet adapter functionality events minus the number of correct Ethernet adapter functionality events. If the counter reaches a threshold value, the Ethernet adapter device driver automatically enables debug traces for storing functionality information to a trace table.
