  • Patent number: 11157260
    Abstract: An extended ontology may be generated from an ontology such that one or more classes of the extended ontology is associated with a marker and input data may be received. Further, based on the extended ontology and the marker, a subgraph representation of the input data may be generated, where the subgraph representation omits a piece of information included in a first graph representation of the input data, and the subgraph representation includes a plurality of acyclic subgraphs. The acyclic subgraphs may be stored in one or more databases and an acyclic subgraph of the plurality of acyclic subgraphs may be provided as an input to an executable program, where the application of rules associated with the extended ontology by the executable program causes a cyclic graph to be generated from the acyclic subgraph such that the cyclic graph comprises a piece of information omitted from the acyclic subgraph.

  • Patent number: 11144283
    Abstract: Graph-based computation includes accepting specification information for the graph-based computation, the specification information including a plurality of graph elements, and providing a visual representation of the specification information to a user. A visual representation of one or more groups of the graph elements is determined based on the accepted specification information, including determining a spatial extend of a spatial region for at least a first group of the one or more groups, wherein the spatial extent of the spatial region is determined based at least in part on a spatial extent of each graph element of a subset of graph elements including one or more graph elements in the first group and at least one graph element out of the first group. A visual representation of spatial regions for the one or more groups is presented in conjunction with the visual information of the specification information.

  • Patent number: 11137998
    Abstract: Deployment of a modified service affects the functioning of other services that make use of the service. To address the problems that deployment of modified executable code can cause in other services, a dependency lock is placed on candidate code to prevent deployment until tests on the client services are successfully completed. Developers of client services that rely on a supplier service are enabled to place a dependency lock on the service. As a result, deployment of the supplier service is only allowed when tests of the client services complete successfully. The administrator of the service being deployed may control which other users are able to add dependency locks without giving those users other permissions such as the ability to modify the source code of the service, the ability to deploy the service, and the like.

  • Patent number: 11023363
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices for creating test and testing a plurality of touchscreen devices are described. The methods comprise creating a test script by recording the touch events performed on a touchscreen device by a technician. The method of recording touch events for later use as a test script is faster and requires less programming knowledge, compared to manually writing a test script. This is beneficial if a new test script is needed quickly because a technician can perform a desired touch sequence on a device recording the sequence and then distribute the recorded sequence to be played on a plurality of devices to be tested. The recorded sequence may include a plurality of sequential touch events. Additionally, the recorded sequence may include conditional statements used to determining the timing of simulating one of the touch events in the sequence.

  • Patent number: 10901761
    Abstract: Embodiments described herein provide for a multi-process model to support compiling applications for multiple platforms. In one embodiment, applications designed for execution on a mobile platform can be ported to and/or compiled for execution on a desktop/laptop platform without requiring modification of the core program code of the mobile application. The mobile application is executed using a multi-process (e.g., two or more process) model in which the core mobile application program generates content that is displayed by a host process. The host process enables automatic translation of program calls to generate mobile user interface elements into program calls that generate user interface elements of the host platform. The translation can be performed using a multi-process (e.g., two or more process) model in which the core application program generates content that is displayed by a host process.

  • Patent number: 10901808
    Abstract: Fine-grained parallelism within isolated object graphs is used to provide safe concurrent operations within the isolated object graphs. One example provides an abstraction labeled IsolatedObjectGraph that encapsulates at least one object graph, but often two or more object graphs, rooted by an instance of a type member. By encapsulating the object graph, no references from outside of the object graph are allowed to objects inside of the object graph. Also, the encapsulated object graph does not contain references to objects outside of the graphs. The isolated object graphs provide for safe data parallel operations, including safe data parallel mutations such as foreach loops. In an example, the ability to isolate the object graph is provided through type permissions.

  • Patent number: 10884719
    Abstract: A method that includes obtaining, by an application executing on a computing system, a list of properties defining at least one property. The executing application writes an uncompiled class definition implementing a compiled interface and writes one or more properties of the compiled interface into the uncompiled class definition. The executing application writes the at least one property and at least one serialization attribute into the uncompiled class definition. The executing application causes the uncompiled class definition to be compiled, loads the compiled class definition, and creates an object by instantiating the compiled class definition. The object is serializable. The executing application may reflect on the compiled interface to obtain the one or more properties. Each of the one or more properties is strongly typed.

  • Patent number: 10831542
    Abstract: In an SRCU environment, per-processor data structures each maintain a list of SRCU callbacks enqueued by SRCU updaters. An SRCU management data structure maintains a current-grace-period counter that tracks a current SRCU grace period, and a future-grace-period counter that tracks a farthest-in-the-future SRCU grace period needed by the SRCU callbacks enqueued by the SRCU updaters. A combining tree is used to mediate a plurality of grace-period-start requests concurrently vying for an opportunity to update the future-grace-period record on behalf of SRCU callbacks. The current-grace-period counter is prevented from wrapping during some or all of the grace-period-start request processing. In an embodiment, the counter wrapping is prevented by performing some or all of the grace-period start-request processing within an SRCU read-side critical section.
