Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for identifying subject-executed code and subject-granted access rights within a program, the method further comprising the steps of: constructing a static model of a program, and determining a set of access rights that are associated with each subject object that is comprised within the program. The method further comprises the steps of annotating the invocation graph with the set of access right data to generate a subject-rights analysis, wherein each node comprised within the invocation graph is mapped to a set of access rights that represent subject-granted access rights under which a method that corresponds to a respective node will be executed, and utilizing the subject-rights analysis to perform a subject-rights analysis of the program.

Abstract: A play set having a main panel section and a pair of side panel sections, each of which is pivotably connected to tile side lateral edges of the main panel section. When the play set is in a first orientation, the main panel section and the pair of side panel sections are oriented generally co-planar to each other such that the upper main surface and upper side surfaces define a play surface having a perimeter, and when the play set is in a second orientation, the side panel sections are adjacent each other and in a plane parallel to the main panel section to define a play set case. When in the first orientation, one of the panel sections includes an elongated member extendable therefrom in a telescoping manner to define an additional play surface outside the perimeter of the main panel sections and side panel sections.
Abstract: A timing element for an initiator is made from a reactive polymeric material such as, e.g., a glycidyl azide polymer. The reactive polymeric material may include pulverulent oxidizer additives, such as ammonium, perchlorate and/or ferric oxide. The oxidizer additives are used to increase the rate of reaction and the output spark of the polymer material. The timing element serves to delay the travel of an initiation signal between an input, such as a signal transmission input line, and an explosive output charge, for a predetermined period of time, usually about 5 to about 10,000 milliseconds, e.g., about 9 to about 9600 milliseconds.

Abstract: A material having a low work function is quickly inserted near an interface between an organic layer and a cathode. A sputtering apparatus (Sp) includes a target material formed of silver (Ag), a dispenser formed outside a processing container and evaporating cesium (Cs) having a lower work function than silver (Ag) by heating the cesium (Cs), a first gas supply pipe communicating with the dispenser to transfer evaporated cesium (Cs) to the processing container by using argon gas as a carrier gas, and a high frequency power supply source supplying high frequency power to the processing container. A controller generates plasma by exciting the argon gas by using energy of the high frequency power, and while forming a metal electrode by using an silver (Ag) atom, wherein the Ag atom is generated from a the target material by using the generated plasma, controls a ratio of the cesium (Cs) mixed with the metal electrode.
Abstract: A display substrate includes a gate line, a data line crossing the gate line, a transistor connected to the gate line and the data line, a first pixel electrode connected to a first output electrode of the transistor and a second pixel electrode connected to a second output electrode of the transistor. The first pixel electrode includes cutting grooves which define a first domain on the first pixel electrode off-axis image quality.
Abstract: Storing translation lookaside buffer (TLB) entries are in a TLB1 at the processor. The TLB1 includes entries associated with main storage accesses of programs executing in a guest mode in a current zone and entries associated with main storage accesses of firmware executing in a host mode. A quiesce interruption request is received at the processor that includes a requesting zone indicator. The processor is either executing in the host mode and has no zone or in the guest mode with the current zone. The requesting zone indicator and the contents of a programmable filtering register that indicates exceptions to filtering performed by the processor is used to determine if filtering should be performed. The quiesce interruption request may be filtered based on the requesting zone indicator even after the mode switches from the guest mode to the host mode.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for capturing annotations about database material in a way that allows queries with conditions or predicates on both the database material and the annotations. Database material may be text, computer programs, graphics, audio, spreadsheets, or any other material which may be stored and indexed. Database material may be in one or multiple sources, and annotations may be stored together with the original material or in a separate store. Annotations can be used to capture information such as additional facts about the database material, the opinions and judgments of experts about the database material, and/or links to other related material. Annotations may be captured in a structured form to enhance queryability and semantic interpretation.

Abstract: In a method of driving a liquid crystal display (“LCD”) apparatus, a common voltage is applied to a common electrode above a liquid crystal layer and pixel voltages are applied to pixel electrodes under the liquid crystal layer to form an electrical field with the common electrode to control movements of liquid crystal molecules of the liquid crystal layer. Each of the pixel electrodes has slits. Then, a supplementary voltage is applied to a supplementary electrode between the slits of each pixel electrode to compensate the electric field formed by the pixel electrodes and the common electrode.
