1. A patterned pressure-sensitive adhesive body obtained by a method for producing a patterned pressure-sensitive adhesive body comprising:
a pattern forming step of cutting a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer in a pressure-sensitive adhesive film including a first release film and the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer laminated on one surface of the first release film so as to form a first slit in a pattern shape and
an outer frame forming step of cutting the first release film and the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer so as to form a second slit in an outer frame shape surrounding the pattern shape, wherein
the second slit has a discontinuous portion in a cutting direction.
The claims below are in addition to those above.
All refrences to claim(s) which appear below refer to the numbering after this setence.
We claim:
1. A method for managing low memory in a first computer device having a processor for executing an operating system and an application, and a memory available to the operating system and application, including steps of:
(a) reserving within a block of memory a first reserve buffer that is unavailable to the application until released; and
(b) releasing the first reserve buffer for use by the application upon determining that memory use by the application has reached a threshold.
2. The method of claim 1 including generating a warning upon determining that the memory use has reached the threshold.
3. The method of claim 1 including generating a warning signal upon determining that the memory use has reached the threshold and sending the warning signal over a network from the first computer device to another computer device.
4. The method of claim 3 including, upon detecting the warning signal, directing at least one further computer device that is connected to a common network as the first computer device to assume at least some of the load previously carried by the first computer device.
5. The method of claim 1 including storing selected information from the block of memory to a persistent storage subsequent to determining that the memory use has reached the threshold.
6. The method of claim 1 wherein a determination is made that memory use has reached the threshold when an out-of-memory exception has been issued by the operating system in respect of the application.
7. The method of claim 1 wherein step (a) further includes reserving within the block of memory a second reserve buffer that is unavailable to the application until released, the method further including:
(c) determining if memory use by the application exceeds another threshold after the first reserve buffer is released and if so releasing the second reserve buffer for use by the application.
8. The method of claim 7 including generating a first warning signal with the release of the first reserve buffer and generating a second warning signal with the release of the second reserve buffer.
9. The method of claim 7 including, upon release of the first reserve buffer directing at least one further computer device that is connected to a common network as the first computer device to assume at least some of the load previously carried by the first computer device, and commencing an automated application shutdown routine with the release of the second reserve buffer.
10. The method of claim 7 wherein in step (b) a determination is made that the memory use has exceeded the threshold when an out-of-memory exception is generated by the operating system in respect of the application, and in (c) a determination is made that the memory use has exceeded the threshold when a second out-of-memory exception is generated by the operating system in respect of the application while the first reserve buffer is released.
11. The method of claim 7 wherein the size of the second reserve buffer is less than that of the first reserve buffer.
12. The method of claim 1, including after step (b), re-reserving within the block of memory the first reserve buffer if the memory use by the application falls below a threshold.
13. A system for managing low memory on a computer device having a processor, a memory, an operating system and an application, comprising a low memory manager for (a) reserving within a block of memory first and second reserve buffers that are unavailable to the application until release by the low memory manager; (b) releasing the first reserve buffer for use by the application upon detecting a first out of memory exception generated by the operating system in respect of the application; and (c) releasing the second reserve buffer for use by the application upon detecting a further out of memory exception generated by the operating system in respect of the application.
14. The system of claim 13 wherein in step (c) the second reserve buffer is released only if the first reserve buffer is still released when the further out of memory exception is generated.
15. The system of claim 13 wherein the low memory manager is configured to generate warning signals upon release of the first reserve buffer and the second reserve buffer.
16. The system of claim 13 including a shutdown manager for storing at least some data from the block of memory to a persistent storage subsequent to the release of the second reserve buffer.
17. A computer readable medium carrying computer readable instructions for managing low memory in a first computer device having a processor for executing an operating system and an application, and a memory available to the operating system and application, the instructions including code means for:
(a) reserving within a block of memory a first reserve buffer that is unavailable to the application until released; and
(b) releasing the first reserve buffer for use by the application upon determining that memory use by the application has reached a threshold.
18. The medium of claim 17 wherein the code means for (a) reserving further includes code means for reserving within the block of memory a second reserve buffer that is unavailable to the application until released, the code means also further including code means for:
(c) determining if memory use by the application exceeds another threshold after the first reserve buffer is released and if so releasing the second reserve buffer for use by the application.
19. The medium of claim 18 including generating a first warning signal with the release of the first reserve buffer and generating a second warning signal with the release of the second reserve buffer.
20. The medium of claim 18 including code means for upon release of the first reserve buffer directing at least one further computer device that is connected to a common network as the first computer device to assume at least some of the load previously carried by the first computer device, and commencing an automated application shutdown routine with the release of the second reserve buffer
