Abstract: A method of determining the state of a cable including at least one electrical conductor, uses a generated test signal and applies it to at least one conductor by a non-contact coupling transmitter. The resulting signal is propagated along the at least one conductor and a non-contact electrical coupling receiver picks up a reflected signal, and compares the reflected signal to expected state signal values for the cable to determine its current state.

Abstract: A system and method for sharing content among a plurality of users, enables the transfer of electronic content items captured by any of a variety of electronic content devices. The content item can include multiple levels of encoding to facilitate efficient transfer across a communication medium. The content item can be decoded at a recipient device to allow playback, display or other utilization of the content item. Content-specific encoding can be applied to enhance the transportability of the content. A content sharing application can be provided to facilitate content transfer in a computing environment, and can be implemented so as to provide an e-mail like user interface.

Abstract: A system and method for developing, deploying, managing and monitoring a web application in a single environment is disclosed herein. The single environment is preferably an integrated development environment (“IDE”). The system and method preferably allows for deployment to a cloud provider, and preferably allows for use of Web resources from multiple cloud providers. One preferred IDE is the APTANA® STUDIO IDE. An operator can use a user interface to access the integrated development environment and the cloud manager over the network, specifically the Internet.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a system and method for managing the collaborative generation of content for an electronic document such as software applications, computer programs and the like. A source content item (42) is created at a source development environment (32) and accessed over a network (102) by a plurality of users of a user community. Each of the plurality of users is located at a unique remote site (38). The source content item (42) can be downloaded by each of the plurality of users and maintained at each remote site (38) as a unique content presentation item (44). In one embodiment, the user can edit his or her content presentation item (44) and upload the edits for incorporation into the source content item (42).

Abstract: Systems and methods of representing and extracting type information from typeless and dynamically-typed programming languages are provided. These systems and methods can be immune to source file edits and the order in which those edits are executed. Deriving type information from these languages allows tools to perform operations, for example, refactoring, intellisense, recognition of semantic errors, etc. These systems and methods can be implemented using processes that, implicitly or explicitly, gather type information for the program, and can also accept user input as well.

Abstract: A system and method for converting byte code of a first type into byte code of a second type. Byte code of a first type and markup language code are received as inputs. The first byte code is converted into constituent byte code data elements that can comprise any logical unit or grouping of at least a portion of a software application. The markup language code is converted into constituent markup language data elements that can comprise individual markup language tags and references to data or functionality in the first byte code. The first byte code data elements and markup language data elements are mapped to data elements of a second byte code type. The second byte code data elements are assembled into a resulting second byte code.
