  • Patent number: 7512897
    Abstract: The present invention allows a user to graphically create a refreshable Web Query by selecting tabular data displayed in a Web page. When the user invokes the refreshable Web Query command, an Internet browser module is launched within a Web Query dialog box open in the spreadsheet program. The user then graphically selects at least one instance of tabular data to import to the spreadsheet program. The invention also makes Web queries more accessible to a user and is embedded in a software utility, known as a Web query Smart Tag (WQST) utility. The WQST utility allows a user to create Web queries directly from an Internet browser module in one of several methods.

  • Publication number: 20060085156
    Abstract: A method for predicting memory leak in a computer program. The method includes acquiring a reference to a tested unit included in the computer program for preventing static data objects from being deallocated; repeatedly executing the tested unit for more than once; tracking which objects in the tested unit are allocated in a corresponding executing time; performing garbage collection; tracking which objects are deallocated during the garbage collection; comparing the object allocations to the object deallocations; and determining if every execution of the tested unit allocates memory that cannot be deallocated.

The user then graphically selects at least one instance of tabular data to import to the spreadsheet program. The invention also makes Web queries more accessible to a user and is embedded in a software utility, known as a Web Query Smart Tag (WQST) utility. The WQST utility allows a user to create Web queries directly from an Internet browser module in one of several methods. The first method, known as a “Copy-Paste Web Query,” begins when a user pastes the tabular data into the spreadsheet program and determines whether the Web Query command should be presented to the user. If the decision is made to present the Web Query command to the user, a Web Query option appears on a special drop-down menu.
