  • Patent number: 9823953
    Abstract: An interprogram communication system including a product engine, a program interface, and a visibility engine configured to employ interprogram communication messaging with each other. The product engine sends an information request that identifies an application feature to the visibility engine via the program interface. The visibility engine identifies a feature file associated with the application feature and identifies test statuses associated with the identified feature file. The visibility engine combines the test statuses with feature file information associated with the feature file to generate a release snapshot. The visibility program sends the release snapshot to the product engine via the program interface. The product engine generates a summary that comprises the test statuses and at least a portion of the feature file information.

  • Patent number: 9684588
    Abstract: An interprogram communication system including a test engine, a program interface, and a visibility engine configured to employ interprogram communication messaging with each other. The test engine sends a feature notification that identifies a feature file to the visibility engine. The visibility engine associates a first test status and a second test status, and a workflow status with the feature file in response to receiving the feature notification. The test engine sends feature code test results to the visibility program via the program interface. The program interface translates feature code test results from a first format to a second format and sends the feature code test results in the second format to the visibility engine. The visibility engine updates the first test status and the second test status in response to receiving feature code test results from the test engine.

  • Patent number: 5293475
    Abstract: A system for publishing a yearbook including scanning circuitry for generating digital images from photographs. Imaging processing circuitry for processing the digital images, storage circuitry coupled to the image processing circuitry for storing the processed digital images and publishing circuitry for generating text, graphics. Page layouts define regions where the processed digital images are to be placed prior to receiving the photographs and for retrieving the stored digital images and placing the image responsive to the page layouts.

  • Patent number: 4426295
    Abstract: A process is provided which permits the rapid concentration and collection of cells in body fluid with minimal need for centrifugation and without filtration or sediment flotation, while also permitting the collection of cells from the fluid in an essentially monolayer arrangement with essentially no cell distortion. The apparatus used in this process comprises an elongated receptacle or chamber having, at one end, an outlet opening through which body fluid containing cells to be collected can be introduced, e.g., by means of a syringe, and, interposed between the inlet opening and an outlet opening at the other end of the chamber, a filter, e.g., a microporous filter.
