A debugger integrated with a decompiler is provided. The system determines a need to debug at least a portion of an application for which necessary debug information is not available. A decompile process is performed to decompile a binary into a decompiled source code in a particular language. A symbol file is generated that maps code sequence execution points to the decompiled source code. The decompiled source code and the symbol file are provided to the debugger. The debugging then continues using the decompiled source code. The user is able to debug applications when source code and symbol files are not available, and/or when the user prefers to debug in a different language than the language of the available source code. | 08-28-2008 |
20090217297 | BUILDING CALL TREE BRANCHES - The claimed subject matter provides systems and mechanisms that create frame accurate call trees for threads. The system can include devices that determine the thread on which a break point or event halted execution, identifies a location of the event that halted execution, sets break points at multiple locations during a stopping event where stopping events do not typically involve setting or unsetting set break points, and constructs the frame accurate call tree subset for the thread based at least in part on the break point or event that halted execution and information gleaned from an inspection of a call stack associated with the event that halted execution or the break point. | 08-27-2009 |
20110154300 | Debugging From A Call Graph - A system and method for debugging a computer program by using a call graph. A call graph that represents trace events during execution of a debuggee program may be used as input to a system that enables a user to debug the debuggee program. Mechanisms facilitate conditionally forming clusters of event nodes, a cluster indicative of multiple event nodes corresponding to an execution of a source language statement. During a debugging session, in response to a command to perform a step operation, the nodes of a cluster are processed together so that a step corresponds to multiple events if the multiple events correspond to a single source language statement. A mechanism for inspecting variables is provided. Variable values may be selectively propagated and provided based on the call graph and a static control flow analysis of the debuggee program. | 06-23-2011 |

20100261527 | METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR ENABLING CONTROL OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE GAME CHARACTERS - An apparatus and method that facilitates control of AI characters in a video game is provided. A method for controlling an artificial-intelligence (AI) character comprises entering a command mode which enables control of the AI character, and occurs while substantially maintaining an existing display of the game, thereby preserving the immersive experience of the video game for the player. A plurality of locations are sequentially specified within a virtual space of the game, the plurality of locations defining a path for the AI character. Finally, the AI character is moved along the path to the plurality of locations in the order they were specified. The plurality of locations may be specified by maneuvering a reticle, and selecting each of the locations. A node is displayed in the existing display of the game at each of the plurality of locations. A series of lines connecting the nodes is displayed in the existing display of the game, thus illustrating the path that the AI character may take in moving to each of the plurality of locations. | 10-14-2010 |

20090045330 | Sample ionization at above-vacuum pressures - Sample material ionized in a sample receiving chamber is flowed into a sample conduit. Drying gas may also flow into the sample conduit and may be heated. The pressure and length of the sample conduit may be provided according to the product 50 or greater Torr-cm. The sample conduit may include a turn. The sample conduit may lead to an ion extraction chamber at which a sampling orifice may lead to a mass spectrometer. The diameter of the sample conduit may be larger than the diameter of the sampling orifice. An electrical field may be applied in the ion extraction chamber to slow incoming ions. A voltage jump may be applied to the sample conduit. | 02-19-2009 |
20090294643 | REAL-TIME CONTROL OF ION DETECTION WITH EXTENDED DYNAMIC RANGE - In a method controlling an ion detector, one or more ion input signals are received at the ion detector. A data point indicative of an intensity of at least one of the received ion input signals is acquired. Asynchronously with acquiring the data point, a drive voltage applied to the ion detector is regulated to operate the ion detector at a gain optimal for the intensity of at least one of the received ion input signals. An ion detector for implementing the method is also provided. | 12-03-2009 |
20090294654 | DETECTION OF POSITIVE AND NEGATIVE IONS - An ion detector comprises an ion guide with electrodes arranged about a first axis; a positive ion detection device with an ion inlet at a first side of the ion output section offset from and at an angle to the first axis; and a negative ion detection device with an ion inlet at a second side opposite the first side, offset from and at an angle to the first axis. A negative voltage bias applied to the positive ion device accelerates positive ions toward the inlet along a path including a component along a second axis orthogonal to the first axis. A positive voltage bias applied to the negative ion detection device accelerates negative ions toward the inlet along a path that includes a component along the second axis orthogonal to the first axis in a direction generally opposite to the path of the positive ions. | 12-03-2009 |
20090294663 | CURVED ION GUIDE AND RELATED METHODS - An ion guide includes a plurality of curved electrodes and an ion deflecting device. The electrodes are arranged in parallel with each other and with a central curved axis, the curved central axis being co-extensive with an arc of a circular section having a radius of curvature, each electrode being radially spaced from the curved central axis, wherein the plurality of electrodes define a curved ion guide region arranged about the curved central axis and between opposing pairs of the electrodes. The ion deflecting device may include a device for applying a DC electric field to two or more of the electrodes in a radial direction. The ion deflecting device may include a pair of curved, parallel ion deflecting electrodes, which are in addition to curved electrodes utilized for applying an RF ion guiding field. | 12-03-2009 |
