  • Publication number: 20120143589
    Abstract: A non-native, multi-modal compiler and an emulated computing environment for use in a native computing environment. The multi-modal compiler includes a parser configured to parse or divide received source code into a plurality of token elements, whereby at least one statement is recognized from a collection of token elements. The multi-modal compiler also includes a code emitter configured to emit machine code to implement the at least one statement, whereby the emitted machine code is compiled multi-modal object code that includes non-native operators (e.g., E-Mode operators) and NATV operators. The compiled multi-modal object code is configured in such a way that when translated by a code translation unit, the compiled multi-modal object code generates a merged codefile having translated native code segments corresponding to the non-native operators and native code segments corresponding to the NATV operators. The merged codefile is executable by a native processor in the native computing environment.

  • Patent number: 8196120
    Abstract: An emulation system that provides the functionality of an emulated computer on a host computer pre-processes the object code file to be emulated to reduce the run-time overhead due to parsing the object code. The emulator uses pre-programmed functions that model each instruction of the emulated computer. An object code file is pre-parsed to generate a translated file which includes a sequence of function calls corresponding to the sequence of instructions in the code file. The translated file is compiled to generate a corresponding translated object-code file. The translated object-code file is executed in the emulation environment on the host computer. The emulation system also includes a standard mode in which the object code file is emulated by sequentially parsing each instruction in the object code file and invoking an appropriate one of the preprogrammed functions in the emulated environment.

  • Publication number: 20100286644
    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure involve patterns on substrate surfaces, such as nonwoven webs or fabrics, plastic films, and laminates thereof, that cause the substrate surfaces to exhibit a three-dimensional appearance. In some embodiments, the three-dimensional appearance of the substrate surface resembles protrusions and indentions indicative of threads in woven cloths. The patterns are created by printing a surface of a substrate, as opposed to deforming the substrate such as by embossing. Embodiments of the patterns include a plurality of repeating shapes or macro-units disposed on the substrate surface.

  • Publication number: 20090099834
    Abstract: An embodiment of the invention is a technique for enabling an emulator that emulates an e-mode program to utilize stored data items whose values are stored in native data format in native memory. The emulator fetches an item referenced by the e-mode program. The referenced item comprises a tag field and a data field. The emulator determines whether the tag field of the referenced item indicates that the referenced item is an external reference word (ERW). If the tag field of the referenced item indicates that the referenced item is an ERW, the emulator decodes the ERW to obtain a data type and a pointer. The pointer corresponds to a location of a stored data item in native memory.

  • Publication number: 20080015762
    Abstract: A vehicle control system includes a housed sensor cluster generating a plurality of signals. An integrated controller includes a sensor signal compensation unit and a kinematics unit, wherein the sensor signal compensation unit receives at least one of the plurality of signals and compensates for an offset within the signal and generates a compensated signal as a function thereof. The integrated controller further generates a kinematics signal including a sensor frame with respect to an intermediate axis system as a function of the compensated signal and generates a vehicle frame signal as a function of the kinematics signal. A dynamic system controller receives the vehicle frame signal and generates a dynamic control signal in response thereto. A safety device controller receives the dynamic control signal and further generates a safety device signal in response thereto.
