  • Patent number: 11630650
    Abstract: Various embodiments of the present technology empower business domain experts to create “no-code” enterprise applications with a variety of features (e.g., workflow, multi-currency, etc.). By using the tools of various embodiments, the domain expert just has to know the business and not how to code in order to create enterprise applications. In some embodiments, the domain expert can access a tool that allows the domain expert to convey intent and desires instead of providing code. The intent and desire of the domain expert can then be abstracted, translated, and stored as a metadata representation. The metadata representation can then be used to automatically generate appropriate code artifacts for the applications. The code artifacts can include snippets of code written in a variety of languages. These code artifacts can then be wrapped, using a runtime engine for example, to create the application which can be distributed to the end-users.

  • Patent number: 11599478
    Abstract: In order to reduce the number of instructions that the compiler generates to load the address of a global variable into a register, the compiler uses a technique that analyzes the global variables used in each function in order to estimate which global variables will be located within the same memory page and have a common base address. A base global variable is selected for each function whose address is fully resolved. The address of each subsequent global variable is constructed using an offset relative to the address of the base global variable that is based on the subsequent global variable's position in a global variable order list.

  • Patent number: 11599450
    Abstract: This disclosure concerns tools and techniques for debugging a quantum program (e.g., a program used to configure and control a quantum computing device). Because the state space of a quantum program is so much larger and less structured than the state space for a classical program, new techniques are required to help the program developer and coder determine whether or not their program is working correctly and to identify errors if not. The disclosed technology provides tools and techniques for debugging quantum programs using a classical computer.

  • Patent number: 11585190
    Abstract: Two control strategies may be implemented to optimize mud circulation in a drilling mud circulation system. In a networked control strategy, the mud circulation system does not involve any centralized controller yet all the local controllers can exchange information in real-time via a central data storage. The master-slave control strategy involves a centralized optimizer, and the subsystems are treated as slave systems and are driven by a visual master control system.

  • Patent number: 11579862
    Abstract: Systems, methods and computer program products are presented for the automated deployment of a code update to a device. One or more clusters of devices may be connected to a development environment for deployment of one or more code updates through respective development pipelines to the respective clusters of devices. A first cluster of devices receives a module for implementation of an agent for the first cluster of devices and a central queue local to a centralized controller of the development environment. The agent reports at least one status of a respective device to the centralized controller of the development environment, whereby that status may correspond to a code update image pulled onto the respective device. The agent retrieves one or more instruction messages from the centralized controller in response to the reported status of the respective device.
