  • Patent number: 11474830
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method, a system and a computer readable medium for additive independent object modification. The method includes determining an association between an independent object modification and a base object of a software application, modifying at least one element of the base object based on the associated independent object modification, and configuring the software application to execute in a computer system using the modified base object.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 31, 2017
    Date of Patent: October 18, 2022
    Assignee: BMC Software, Inc.
    Inventors: Douglas Mueller, Charles Mousseau

  • Patent number: 9363252
    Abstract: In one example embodiment, a method includes, in one of an interpreted computer environment and a compiled computer environment, generating a software application. Generating the software application includes associating at least one first overlaid object with a first overlay group, the at least one overlaid object having a corresponding base object of the software application, assigning a first permission to the first overlay group, determining if a user is authorized to use the first overlay group based on the first permission, and configuring the software application to execute in the computer system using the at least one first overlaid object and the corresponding base object upon determining the user is authorized to use the first overlay group.

  • Patent number: 8832652
    Abstract: Techniques for overlaying objects of a software application with other objects allow modification and customization of the application by one or more users in different ways, without storing multiple modified copies of the application. The technique allows configuring the software application to execute using overlaid objects instead of the base objects contained in the software application. In some embodiments, the base objects for the software application and the overlaid objects are stored in a datastore, and a runtime embodiment causes execution of the overlaid objects instead of the base objects.

  • Publication number: 20060054567
    Abstract: A system and method for maintaining adequate sanitizing of a spa or whirlpool, particularly those having volumes of about 200 to about 400 gallons of water, utilizes an electrolytic generator to provide sufficient chlorine or bromine during periods of low-to-no use. During periods of peak use, a buffered oxidizer is added to the spa water, either before use or immediately after use or both, to assist in removing organics and setting a pH in the spa which is conducive to maintaining adequate levels of active free chlorine or bromine to handle the increased organic load.
