  • Patent number: 11126930
    Abstract: A code completion system predicts candidates to complete a method invocation in a source code program written in a dynamically-typed programming language. A pseudo type is generated for each variable in the source code program to approximate the runtime type of the variable. The pseudo type is then used to group a set of method invocations into a classification that can be modeled by an n-order Markov chain model. The n-order Markov chain model is used to predict candidate methods more likely to complete a method invocation in a dynamically-typed programming language.

  • Patent number: 10949220
    Abstract: The described technology is directed towards an object-oriented programming (OOP) system and library that maps conventional object-oriented concepts such as class hierarchies, interfaces, and static methods and properties onto a prototypal object system such as JavaScript®. Various functions of the OOP system are called to create a class-like structure that is instantiated into an object instance upon request. The OOP system allows for use of a wrapper pattern to wrap selected objects with added functionality such as validation and tracing, and to provide enhanced functionality with respect to properties, such as to call a function associated with a property when the property's value changes, and/or to lazily generate property values only when accessed.

  • Patent number: 10908922
    Abstract: A dataflow controller technology. A dataflow execution graph (such as a directed acyclic graph) receives or is to receive one or more data streams for processing. The control of the dataflow execution graph is performed by a set of one or more dataflow controllers that are dedicated to that dataflow execution graph. Each dataflow execution graph is instantiated and assigned to the dataflow execution graph such that the assignment results in the dataflow controller executing dataflow control functions for that dataflow execution graph. By dedicating controller(s) to only one dataflow execution graph, the risk of failure of the controller is bound to a single dataflow execution graph.

  • Patent number: 10896122
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to testing software for operating an autonomous vehicle. For instance, a first simulation may be run using log data and the software to control a first simulated vehicle. During this, one or more characteristics of the simulated vehicle may be compared with one or more characteristics of a vehicle from the log data. The comparison may be used to determine a divergence point for starting a timer. In addition, a second simulation may be run using the log data and the software to control a second simulated vehicle. The divergence point may be used to determine a handover time to allow the software to take control of the second simulated vehicle. Whether the software is able to continue through the first simulation before the timer expires without a particular type of event occurring and/or the second simulation without the particular type of event occurring is determined.
