Publication number: 20140359564Abstract: The invention relates to onboard failure warning management systems on aircraft, or flight warning systems (FWS). Traditionally, the logic of these systems refers to procedures to be executed by the crew in response to warnings. Modifications, however minor, to the procedures involve a new development that can be installed on the airplane computer only as part of a costly maintenance procedure, given notably the need to carry out exhaustive tests on the application. The invention introduces the concept of tasks defined by a set of variables, notably the warning and the procedure in which the task is executed, its category, its priority level and its status. Thus, the computer programs can be organized in modules that call the tasks to be executed, the parameters of said tasks being defined in a configuration table that can be updated as the procedures change during simple operation maintenance procedures.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 24, 2014Publication date: December 4, 2014Inventors: Gilles Francois, Fabien Guilley, Nicolas Marty, Julia Percier

Publication number: 20140331201Abstract: Disclosed here are methods, systems, paradigms and structures for optimizing intermediate representation (IR) of a script code for fast path execution. A fast path is typically a path that handles most commonly occurring tasks more efficiently than less commonly occurring ones which are handled by slow paths. The less commonly occurring tasks may include uncommon cases, error handling, and other anomalies. The IR includes checkpoints which evaluate to two possible values resulting in either a fast path or slow path execution. The IR is optimized for fast path execution by regenerating a checkpoint as a labeled checkpoint. The code in the portion of the IR following the checkpoint is optimized assuming the checkpoint evaluates to a value resulting in fast path. The code for handling situations where the checkpoint evaluates to a value resulting in slow path is transferred to a portion of the IR identified by the label.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 2, 2013Publication date: November 6, 2014Applicant: Facebook, Inc.Inventors: Ali-Reza Adl-Tabatabai, Guilherme de Lima Ottoni, Michael Paleczny

Patent number: 8875105Abstract: A method for efficiently developing software and supporting creation of source code so as to develop software that meets the requirements. A plurality of test cases defining a plurality of respective tests to be executed to check the conformity of the software to the requirements are used. In a test execution step, one or more specific test cases selected from the plurality of test cases are executed or the specific test cases are caused to be executed. Furthermore, a test result of a test case executed or caused to be executed in the test case execution step is added to the source code.Type: GrantFiled: March 1, 2012Date of Patent: October 28, 2014Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventor: Atsushi Yokoi

Publication number: 20140317596Abstract: A platform for device-independent business application development, based on XML-based type instructions and associated parameters, is described. The platform supports the hierarchical mapping of business needs onto business processes, action steps and OS and device-independent application descriptions to be interpreted, build, and executed on client devices. Upon receipt of the application description by a client device, the latter being configured to read and interpret the XML-based instructions and parameters of the application description, it creates a local application. The operating system selection, user interface, driver, hardware and firmware specific functionalities and control are taken care of by the client device.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 29, 2012Publication date: October 23, 2014Inventors: George BOURIS, Costis PAPADIMITRAKOPOULOS

Patent number: 8868401Abstract: A system and method automatically generates an object-oriented, textual program from a graphical model, and verifies the performance of the textual program as compared to the graphical model. The graphical model may have a plurality of interconnected blocks, and each block may have a plurality of parameters. One or more of the blocks are mapped to a system object, and the block's parameters are mapped to properties of the system object. An object-oriented, executable textual string is generated automatically for the block. The generated string includes at least one command to: instantiate a system object having functionality that matches the block; set one or more properties of the system object based on the block's parameters; and run the instantiated object.Type: GrantFiled: March 11, 2010Date of Patent: October 21, 2014Assignee: The MathWorks, Inc.Inventors: David Koh, Brian K. Ogilvie, Zhongxin Li, Shi Chao Zhang, Jihad E. Ibrahim

Patent number: 8869099Abstract: A method and system for enabling multi-tenancy for software as a service application is provided. The method includes defining a plurality of policy configuration files for each tenant of the SaaS application. The method further includes identifying a tenant and tenant-context for the SaaS application. Thereafter, the method includes identifying one or more policy configuration files and then applying one or more variations to one or more variation points to provide the SaaS application to the user.Type: GrantFiled: July 28, 2009Date of Patent: October 21, 2014Assignee: Infosys LimitedInventors: Chetan Jagatkishore Kothari, Pawan Chhabra

Patent number: 8869103Abstract: In an embodiment, a model is sliced into a plurality of slices. A slice in the plurality of slices is selected. A portion of code, that corresponds to the selected slice, is identified from code generated from the model. The identified code is verified to be equivalent to the selected slice. Equivalence may include equivalent functionality, equivalent data types, equivalent performance, and/or other forms of equivalence between the selected slice and the identified generated code.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 2011Date of Patent: October 21, 2014Assignee: The MathWorks, Inc.Inventors: Mirko Conrad, Xiaocang Lin, Jun Yan, Peter Szpak, Appa Rao Nirakh, Jaya Shankar

Patent number: 8869177Abstract: A method, system and computer program product for decoupling components of a software system at load/compile time to accelerate application startup times. In particular, a software components partitioning (SCP) utility pre-defines a number of (implementation) classes to initiate and facilitate the decoupling process. The SCP utility allows the method names and argument lists to be recorded from a remote interface into a local interface which emulates the remote interface. The local interface is augmented with an annotation to define the remote interface. Additionally, a pre-defined keyword is appended to the name of the local interface to enable the creation of a (pre-defined) classname. Furthermore, when the classname is loaded, an implementation (via a Java implementation class, for example) for the remote class is loaded, and the implementation is associated with a dynamic proxy that implements both the local and remote interfaces, on demand.Type: GrantFiled: September 6, 2007Date of Patent: October 21, 2014Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Thomas R. Gissel, Marc E. Haberkorn, Sai G. Rathnam

Patent number: 8869098Abstract: A Model Transformation Authoring Framework (MTAF) method and apparatus for authoring and providing model-to-model transformations from one domain to another domain is disclosed. Given a domain and a target domain, at least the given domain having a respective structured hierarchy, the invention system enables a user to specify a declarative mapping (transformation declarative) between a domain specific language modeling the given domain and a modeling language modeling the target domain. The declarative mapping models how the domain specific language modeling the given domain relates to the modeling language of the target domain. The system generates a transformation code implementation of a transformation from the given domain to the target domain. The MTAF provides to the user design decisions with respect to Specification, Transformation Rules, Rule Organization, Rule Application Control, Source-Target Relationship, Incrementality, and Directionality and Tracing.Type: GrantFiled: December 5, 2007Date of Patent: October 21, 2014Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Maged E.
