  • Patent number: 11080024
    Abstract: Embodiments relate to incorporating supplemental information into a code editor's editing view that may make the code more understandable to those not familiar or comfortable with the code. The editor receives adornments that may be translations or semantic equivalents of constructs already in the code. The editor adds the adornments to an editing view for editing the source code. The adornments are inserted into lines of the source code displayed in the editing view and have some of the appearance of the source code in the editing view. The adornments are passive with respect to the source code; they are not necessarily compiled or saved. The adornments may be tokens provided by a compiler and/or an integrated development environment. The editor may apply heuristics or rules to determine which adornments are to be used and where they will be inserted.

  • Patent number: 10908049
    Abstract: A method for determining an arrival-time of a rotor blade that includes attaching an RF reader to a stationary surface and an RF tag to the rotor blade. Strength-of-signal data points are collected via an RF monitoring process that includes: emitting an RF signal from the RF reader; receiving the RF signal at the RF tag and emitting a return RF signal by the RF tag in response thereto; receiving the return RF signal at the RF reader; measuring a signal strength of the return RF signal as received by the RF reader; and determining the strength-of-signal data point as being equal to the measured signal strength. The RF monitoring process is repeated until multiple strength-of-signal data points are collected. A maximum strength-of-signal is determined from the multiple strength-of-signal data points, and the arrival-time for the rotor blade is determined as being a time that corresponds to the maximum strength-of-signal.
