Abstract: Techniques for generating a warning filter to filter the warnings output from a static program analysis tool are provided. In one example, a computer-implemented method comprises determining feature vector data for a set of warnings, wherein the set of warnings is generated in response to static analysis of a computer program, and wherein the feature vector data comprises a feature vector indicative of an attribute of a warning of the set of warnings. The computer-implemented method also comprises determining a warning filter that identifies a first subset of the set of warnings as representing true positives based on the feature vector data and classified warning data, and wherein the classified warning data represents a second subset of the set of warnings that have been classified to indicate whether respective members of the second subset are indicative of true positives.

Abstract: A computer implemented method and computer system for automatically limiting the swing angle of a vehicle door to not hit nearby moving objects, including predicting that a moving object will move to be within a predetermined distance of the door and predicting the distance the moving object will be from the door, determining a swing angle extent of an opening of the door that will avoid hitting the moving object and actuating a door controller to limit the swing angle of the door. Historical data on the speed the door is opened can be used in determining the door swing angle. The current position and velocity of the moving object relative to the door of the vehicle is estimated based on signals received from sensors attached to the vehicle.

Abstract: A method and system presents a sensory trait to a person for providing a human-sense perceivable representation of an aspect of an event. Information associated with an event can be received which has a first aspect being perceivable by a human via a first human sense at a distance from the event. A second aspect of the event is imperceivable by the human via a second human sense at the distance from the event. A query can be sent to a database for a representation of the first aspect of the event. A response to the query can be received which identifies the representation of the second aspect. The representation of the second aspect can be outputted in a manner that is perceivable by the human via the second human sense, while the human perceives the first aspect via the first human sense at the distance from the event.

Abstract: A system and method to produce an electric network from estimated line impedance and physical line length among smart meter devices is provided using communication between the smart meters. The smart meters: (1) synchronize time using GPS pps signals, which provide an accurate time stamp; (2) send/receive an identifiable signal through the same phase of electric networks; (3) identify other smart meters on the same phase lines by listening to the information signal on the same phase lines; and (4) calculate time-of-arrival of an identifiable signal from other smart meters. The time of arrival information is used to calculate the line length, which is then used to calculate impedance of a line and topology of the electric network. The system then constructs an electric network by combining geo-spatial information and tree-like usual connection information.
