  • Patent number: 11023581
    Abstract: Example implementations relate to code package variants. For example, a system according to the present disclosure, may include a client server, a development environment, a digital signing environment, and a central server. The development environment may generate a plurality of variants of a first portion of a code package. The digital signing environment may create a distinct digital signature for each variant of the plurality of variants of the first portion of the code package with a same second portion of the code package. The central server may transmit to the client server a complete code package comprising a variant of the plurality of variants of the first portion of the code package along with the second portion of the code package and a corresponding digital signature.

  • Patent number: 7142319
    Abstract: According to one aspect, a printer checks whether a customized control panel definition is available for the printer. If a customized control panel definition is available for the printer, then the customized control panel definition is retrieved, otherwise a default control panel definition is retrieved. A control panel as defined by the retrieved control panel definition is displayed. According to another aspect, a request to customize control panel of a printer is received. Control panel customization options are displayed, one or more control panel customization selections are received, and a control panel definition for the printer that incorporates the control panel customization selections is saved.
