A selective data capture method for software exception conditions in the operation of a data processing system includes steps for describing the pertinent data to collect before loss of control of the faulty program occurs. First the program preventively declares in a table all the data to capture in case of error (501). In a second stage, at the key points of the code, the pertinent sets of data in the table are activated (502). On the occurrence of an error (503), only the data previously declared and activated are collected (504) by the external code in charge of managing the error reporting to a maintenance subsystem (505). The invention is attached to the global data capture strategy, particularly to the Error Notification and Selective Dump processes.

A process for recovering rubber from a tire, the tire including a rubber tread block, a reinforced portion below the tread block portion, typically known as steel belting, and an inner liner that serves to hold the air pressure in the tire. The bead and sidewall are removed from the tire leaving a loop of tread material. Next, the loop is placed on several rollers of a rubber-separating machine to hold the loop in place. One or more cutting blades, preferably chisels, are positioned at the tread portion of the tire. The cutting blades are lowered into position. Access to the steel belting can be accomplished by making an initial cut through tread block to expose the steel belting. Once the blades are in place, the tread loop is placed in motion around the rollers. As the blades contact the steel belts, the cutting blades separate the tread rubber from the reinforced rubber at the interface between the tread rubber and the steel belts. The inner layer may also be removed in a similar fashion with blades positioned within the loop rather than above it.The ultimate goal of the present invention is to provide an environmentally and economically beneficial process that disposes of all the parts of the tire. Using the cutting blades or chisel(s) to separate the rubber in a tire's tread area from the embedded steel results in the following tire parts: 1) high value metal free rubber from the tread area; 2) the steel belt / thin layer of rubber / steel belt (with or without the inner liner); 3) the inner liner with polyester or similar fiber; 4) the metal free sidewall with polyester or similar fiber; and 5) the tire bead surrounded with rubber and polyester or similar fiber.
