Abstract: Utilizing role types that extend underlying types. Within a program definition, a computer system identifies a statement assigning an object of an underlying type to a role type that extends the underlying type. The underlying type implements a first interface, and the role type implements a second interface. Based on the role type extending the underlying type, the computer system assigns the object of the underlying type to the role type. Based on assigning the object of the underlying type to the role type, the role type is usable to interact with the object of the underlying type using both the first interface and the second interface.

Abstract: The technology described herein provides an automated software-testing platform that uses reinforcement learning to discover how to perform tasks used in testing. The technology described herein is able to perform quality testing even when prescribed paths to completing tasks are not provided. The reinforcement-learning agent is not directly supervised to take actions in any given situation, but rather learns which sequences of actions generate the most rewards through the observed states and rewards from the environment. In the software-testing environment, the state can be user interface features and actions are interactions with user interface elements. The testing system may recognize when a sought after state is achieved by comparing a new state to a reward criteria.

Abstract: Systems and methods for updating firmware in an audio device, such as a soundbar, operatively connected to a Smart TV, are shown and described. Firmware update data is transmitted to the audio device via an audio return channel (ARC) of an HDMI cable. In certain of the systems, the firmware update data is transmitted to the audio device when no audio is being transmitted to or played by the audio device. In other systems, the firmware update data and real-time audio data are multiplexed by the Smart TV and are sent to the audio device via the audio return channel for subsequent demultiplexing and playback of the audio.

Abstract: A data transfer analysis system is disclosed that analyzes data transfer log entries to determine whether a data transfer is authorized. The system determines information about the data assets involved in the data transfer (e.g., network address, geographical location, etc.) and uses a data map to determine if data transfers are authorized between the two data assets. If not, the system may take one or more actions, such as generating a notification, terminating the data transfer, restricting the access of the user that initiated the transfer, modifying network communications capabilities between the assets to prevent future transfers, and storing metadata that can be used to prevent future such transfers.

The center device generates a package including the new difference data, the first verification values and the second verification values for a plurality of the target devices. The center device generates, using the distribution package, a third verification value for verifying integrity of the distribution package in the vehicle, and transmits the distribution package along with the third verification value to the in-vehicle device.

Abstract: The systems and methods provide a model deployment criterion. The model deployment criterion indicates a difference in a value against which the proxy model may be measured to determine when, if ever, the proxy model should be deployed to replace the existing rule engine. The model deployment criterion may be keyed to the proxy model (e.g., based on a difference in its size, throughput speed, number of changes, etc.), the existing rule engine (e.g., based on a difference in its age, update occurrences to its rule base, etc.), and/or comparisons between models (e.g., based on differences in results, throughput speed, efficiency, etc.).

Abstract: An update deployment service performs automatic testing and deployment of a software update (e.g., security patches) for a software component on a fleet of IoT devices, without the need for the client to test the update and manually deploy the update to the IoT devices. A client configures the service by providing an upper usage limit for certain IoT hardware components (e.g., memory, hard disk) and/or code components (e.g., threads) that may be caused by any future updates. When a new update is available for deployment, the update deployment service obtains usage test data that indicates the amount of usage (or increase in usage) of the IoT hardware and/or code for the new update. If the usage (or increase in usage) is within the client-provided usage limits, then the service automatically deploys the update to the fleet of edge devices.

Abstract: In an example embodiment, to improve performance, a solution is provided that removes the bottleneck associated with a single events table. Specifically, the solution provides for three events tables rather than one table. Two of the three tables are domain event outbox tables that are parallel and equivalent to each other. The third table is a domain event indication table, which records which of the domain event outbox tables is in a serve mode versus a maintain mode. At any point in time, one of the two domain event outbox tables is in serve mode while the other is in maintain mode. Serve mode is used for event insert, update, and query, while maintain mode is used for event purge.

Abstract: Methods and systems for improved indexing of non-standardized, custom smart contracts. The improved indexer identifies custom landmarks (e.g., portions of bytecode indicative of custom smart contract transactions or particular functions in those transactions) that are indicative of transactions involving custom smart contracts (as well as the various attributes of those custom smart contracts). The indexer does this by first collecting bytecode for a subset of known transactions involving the custom smart contracts. The indexer then compares the bytecode of the custom smart contracts in the subset to identify the landmarks or probabilities that portions of the bytecode correspond to landmarks. Once these landmarks are identified (or a probability of the landmark is above a certain threshold), the indexer may designate these as known landmarks. The indexer may then compare the portion of the bytecode corresponding to the known landmark to raw bytecode.

Abstract: An improved unit test framework that validates large datasets generated by a data management system is described herein. Typical unit test frameworks validate functions. However, the improved unit test framework validates the underlying data. For example, after each step of a data transformation process implemented by the data management system, the data management system can execute a data unit test that loads data sets into memory, checks a set of preconditions, and applies unit test logic to the loaded data sets. In some embodiments, the data management system executes the data unit tests asynchronously with the data transformation processes and therefore do not interfere with the data transformation processes. Rather, the data management system generates and transmits a notification when any step of the data transformation process fails a particular data unit test.
