A method monitors non-faulty application traces of a computer application with the runtime environment during fault-free activities to create non-faulty runtime signatures for the computer application. Once obtained, the method stores the non-faulty runtime signatures. The method then detects a faulty application trace of the computer application and compares the faulty application trace with the non-faulty runtime signatures by comparing a call graph of the faulty application trace with call graphs of non-faulty application traces of the application signatures to identify differences between the two (e.g., fault attributes). Then the invention outputs the fault attributes to allow the user to identify a fault cause.

A system and method are disclosed for performing audience surveys of broadcast audio from radio and television. A small body-worn portable collection unit samples the audio environment of the survey member and stores highly compressed features of the audio programming. A central computer simultaneously collects the audio outputs from a number of radio and television receivers representing the possible selections that a survey member may choose. On a regular schedule the central computer interrogates the portable units used in the survey and transfers the captured audio feature samples. The central computer then applies a feature pattern recognition technique to identify which radio or television station the survey member was listening to at various times of day. This information is then used to estimate the popularity of the various broadcast stations.

Tread structures, wave motion navigational controls, and ramp up recovery controls are provided to an autonomous floor cleaner to reduce wheel slippage. The floor cleaner delivers liquid to the floor as part of the cleaning process. Wheels on the device are provided with relatively deep peripheral grooves to minimize the contact surfaces of a sprocket wheel and to accommodate the layer of liquid on the floor. In the event of wheel slippage, or to prevent wheel slippage, the device is designed to move forward with a slight side-to-side wave action caused by periodically altering the relative speeds of two drive wheels. There is also provided a slippage recovery mode where the drive wheels shut down or greatly slow when severe slippage is sensed, followed by a slow ramp up of speed.

According to the current invention, the new pet feeding system provides a controlled food release to aid individual weight management of a pet. This is what sets the proposed feeder apart from its competitors. The pet feeder includes an automatic computerized weight and food release mechanism.
