Abstract: A method and apparatus including an overview component depicting a plurality of virtual machines on a display of a computerized system. Parameter details of at least one virtual machine are concurrently displayed with the overview component. The method steps include receiving the compiled source code for two applications, creating two relocatable virtual machines to run the compiled source codes, determining the parameters for the multiple virtual machine environment, locating the two relocatable virtual machines and generating a target executable file for the environment.

Abstract: A component model for use in a time sensitive embedded application. The system includes an event-generating software component that can generate an event notification in response to an event. It also includes a listener software component that can receive an event notification. Further, it includes an event transmission object that can facilitate transmission of an event notification from an event-generating software component to a listener software component. The event transmission object passes a primitive data type parameter that conveys data describing an event generated by said event-generating software component to a listener software component.

Abstract: A method and apparatus are disclosed for identifying a characteristic of a bulk flowable material. An identification marker is inserted into a bulk flowable material. The identification marker carries information identifying a specified property or properties of the material. A marker dispenser can be located at one or more handling sites of the bulk flowable material. The identification markers can be pre-prepared or property-related information can be added to the marker prior to or subsequent to dispensing. The identification markers can be paper-like labels, for example, or more complex devices. The system can be used to track the lifespan of a material or to indicate a property of the material to others, such as whether the material is a genetically modified organism (GMO). A pre-printed marker source containing a single continuous bar code is also disclosed.

Abstract: A method and appartus for optically reading information is disclosed. The apparatus includes a photosensor, and a reading system capable of generating a decoded signal regardless of the orientation of the optical indicia relative to the photosensor. The method includes steps of positioning a user-supported optical reader containing a photosensor, imaging an information area onto the photosensor without requiring prior angular movement of the reader, and generating a digital representation of content imaged from the information area onto the photosensor for any angular relationship between orthogonal axes of the information area and the pixel axes of the photosensor.
Abstract: A control system for a portable electronic printer is disclosed. The control system implements a method for performing a self-test of the hardware of a portable electronic printer, a method for monitoring the hardware of a portable electronic printer for a failure, a method for diagnosing a portable electronic printer, a method for booting a portable electronic printer having both volatile and non-volatile memory, a method for controlling the printing of data received from a serial transmission line whereby printing may be canceled, a method for controlling a printing system such that code or data in the printing system may be updated, a method of verifying a downloaded file in a printing system, a method for determining a communications protocol in a printing system, and a method for controlling communications in a printing system during a diagnostic routine.

Abstract: A reader for reading optical information is described which includes a housing for supporting a photosensitive array associated with an optical string adapted to focus optical information on the array. Also provided are array and optical string controls for controlling the array and optical string such that the output of selected images on the array may be processed via pattern recognition. Images on the array may be displayed and highlighted on a display. In this fashion a user is assisted in recognizing images of optical information incident on the array to facilitate aiming of the reader.
