Abstract: Disclosed is a method, a device, a system and/or a manufacture of component design security through restriction of a design component dependency tree. In one embodiment, a request for retrieval of a dependency tree of a root version of a component is processed. A client device is authenticated, and a permission profile is extracted. Unique identifier of the root version and each version of the dependency tree is compared to the permission profile of the user and/or a security profile to determine an authorization status for each. Dependency reference following is terminated at unauthorized versions to result in a terminated branch of the dependency tree. Unique identifier of the authorized version are stored in a restricted tree data to result in a continuing branch of the dependency tree. The restricted tree data of the root version is returned to the client device for retrieving workfiles to generate a design workspace.

Abstract: Illustrative systems and methods enable a virtual machine (“VM”) to be powered up at any hypervisor regardless of hypervisor type, based on live-mounting VM data that was originally backed up into a hypervisor-independent format by a block-level backup operation. Afterwards, the backed up VM executes anywhere anytime without needing to find a hypervisor that is the same as or compatible with the original source VM's hypervisor. The backed up VM payload data is rendered portable to any virtualized platform. Thus, a VM can be powered up at one or more test stations, data center or cloud recovery environments, and/or backup appliances, without the prior-art limitations of finding a same/compatible hypervisor for accessing and using backed up VM data. An illustrative media agent maintains cache storage that acts as a way station for data blocks retrieved from an original backup copy, and stores data blocks written by the live-mounted VM.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for supporting different data sources provided in developing applications. An embodiment operates by a processor receiving the application descriptor, which includes a first data source for providing a first portion of data for the application, the first data source providing the first portion of data as a first data type that is incompatible with the application. The processor can then determine whether the first data source provides the first portion of data as the first data type and request based on the determination, the first portion of data from the first data source. The processor can thereafter receive a modified first portion of data in the second data and create a model for the application based thereon.

Abstract: A method and device for transmitting metrologically acquired and digitized measured data in a test device. The measured data corresponds to a program task, and a direction of the transmission of the measured data from a measured data transmitter of the test device is provided via a data channel to a measured data receiver of the test device. The measured data transmitter has a signal preprocessing processor, a task monitoring processor and a data channel arbiter. Via the task monitoring processor, a task ID data packet is generated at an execution start of the program task or at an execution end of the program task, and the task ID data packet is transmitted to the data channel arbiter. Via the data channel arbiter, the measured data and the task ID data packet are successively forwarded via the data channel as a data stream to the measuring data receiver.

Abstract: A user interface may display visual traces between semantic constructs in representations of functionality. The representations of functionality may include textual programming language code, graphical programming language code, graphical or textual models, and/or text. The visual trace enables a party to visually review the correlations between the semantic constructs. The visual trace may include unique visual cues for distinguishing a degree of nesting of programming language constructs. For example, each successive level of nesting of a programming language construct may be associated with a different shade of a color. The user interface may be interactive and provide real-time feedback based upon actions of a party. The system determines what semantic constructs are to be visually distinguished on the user interface based on the location of an action and based on the hierarchy of semantic constructs and correlations.

Abstract: An interactive library system comprised of a Processing Engine phase, a Presentation Engine phase, a Content Management phase, and a Content Editing/Reading pages phase, which work together in real time. The system, by providing a set of structures within an overarching database, provides the flexibility to build any data set (library) within an overarching data schema. The system proactively presents information to a user in e time as the system constantly scans to finds library matches to user text, saving the user from having to actively search and confirm information and greatly enhancing data handling capability. Further, each user has the flexibility to create a library most relevant to a user's particular position and needs, and select information for retrieval most useful to them.

Abstract: An electric control device for vehicles capable of updating an old program stored in a storage unit with a new program. A reception unit sequentially receives a plurality of pieces of division data acquired by dividing difference data, which includes a data section based on a difference between the old program and the new program and a command section used for generating the new program by reflecting the data section on the old program, or difference compression data acquired by compressing the difference data for every predetermined data length A restoration process restores the new program based on each division data received by the reception unit and the old program. If at least a part of the command section and the data section is not included in the division data received by the reception unit, the restoration unit suspends the restoration process and waits for reception of next division data.
