Abstract: A computer-implemented method of controlling version branching within a software configuration management system (SCMS) can include, responsive to a user initiating a check-out operation of a file within the SCMS, identifying the file and a workspace of the user and searching nodes of the repositories of the SCMS for a successor version of the file. When a successor version of the file is located within a node that is within a predetermined distance of the workspace of the user, a notification that the successor version of the file is within the predetermined distance of the workspace of the user can be output. When a successor version of the file is not located within a node within a predetermined distance of the workspace of the user, the file can be checked-out to the workspace of the user.

Abstract: Embodiments relate to optimizing an indirect call function. More specifically, an indirect call function configuration comprises a first application module having a target function of the indirect function call, a second application module with a symbolic reference to the target function of the indirect function call, and a third application module to originate an indirect function call. A compiler is provided to identify potential target functions and indicate the potential target functions in the program code. Additionally, the compiler determines and indicates in the program code that the function pointer value resulting from a non-call reference of a function symbol is solely used to perform indirect calls in the same module. A linker can read the indication the compiler made in the program code and optimize the indirect call function.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a system and method of generating a transaction count using filtering. Transaction data is collected for a set of transactions from an original data set. The collected transaction data is narrowed into a transaction data set by identifying a specific range of the data to be extracted. This transaction data set is filtered against one or more criteria. The transactions included in the transaction data set are then arranged into data packs in a format enabling efficient count generation. The count generation determines how many transactions meet the applied criteria. The data may then be efficiently stored in a database for later retrieval.

Abstract: Techniques are described for sharing software targets in componentized automated software product build processes. In some examples, a method includes identifying among software component builds having dependencies on software targets, two or more software targets having a number of common dependencies that exceeds a threshold. The method further includes integrating the two or more software targets into at least one integrated software target. The method further includes assigning at least one subset of software component builds having dependencies on the two or more software targets, as having dependencies on the at least one integrated software target. The method further includes executing a software build process using the at least one integrated software target and the assigned dependencies of the at least one subset of the software component builds on the at least one integrated software target.

Abstract: A method for the delay-minimized detection of an auxiliary control variable for a system comprising a control system and a controller, whereby an output variable is detected at the end of the control system, whereby a disturbance variable is active in the control system, characterized in that a state variable is detected in the control system at a place before the point of action of the disturbance variable, whereby the auxiliary control variable is calculated from the state variable that has been weighted with a constant kx and from an estimation error, whereby the estimation error is calculated from a comparison between the detected output variable and the integrated auxiliary control variable.

Abstract: Specifying a dataflow graph includes: rendering, in a first user interface, a representation of a first dataflow graph. At least one component represents a computation associated with at least one of data flowing into an input port or data flowing out of an output port. A link between components is rendered based on user input indicating a flow of data. In a second user interface, a representation of a sub-graph of the first dataflow graph is rendered. A first flow junction represents a connection between: (1) a flow of data outside the sub-graph interface, and (2) a flow of data inside the sub-graph interface. A link is rendered between the first flow junction and a second flow junction based on user input indicating a relationship between a first descriptor and a second descriptor.

Abstract: In a pattern shape adjustment method according to one embodiment, a correspondence relation between a first shape feature amount of a first on-substrate pattern formed on a first substrate and a first laser band width of laser light as exposure light used when forming the first on-substrate pattern is acquired. Also, a second shape feature amount of a second on-substrate pattern actually formed on a second substrate is measured. Then, a second laser band width according to the shape of a third on-substrate pattern to be formed on a third substrate is calculated based on the correspondence relation and the second shape feature amount. Further, the third substrate is exposed to laser light having the second laser band width.

Abstract: A cloud human-machine interface (HMI) generation system converts an original HMI project to a web-compatible version of the HMI capable of storage and execution on a cloud platform or web server. The cloud HMI generation system parses HMI project files exported from the original HMI to identify graphical objects and their attributes, animations, data tags linked to the HMI, and other characteristics of the HMI. The system then generates scripts or function calls that reproduce the identified graphical objects and their associated animations, yielding a web-based HMI that emulates the original HMI project. The resulting cloud HMI can retrieve copies of the original industrial system data maintained on cloud-based storage, allowing the cloud HMI to display near real-time system data on a client device from any location.

Abstract: An industrial automation component that may receive data associated with at least one other industrial automation component in an industrial automation system. The industrial automation component may contextualize the data with respect to the industrial automation system and recognize a relationship between the industrial automation component and the at least one other industrial automation component based on the contextualized data. The industrial automation component may then store the relationship between the industrial automation component and the at least one other industrial automation component in a memory.

Abstract: The disclosure refers to a method for providing a frequency response for a combined cycle power plant connected to an electric grid. The combined cycle power plant includes a gas turbine engine and a steam turbine engine. The steam turbine engine includes a boiler, a steam turbine, a pump, a condenser, a bypass for the steam turbine, a steam admission control valve.

The method comprises regulating the output load of the combined cycle power plant by regulating the steam admission control valve and/or by regulating the steam flow through the bypass in response to a frequency change of the electric grid. The output of the gas turbine can also be adjusted, such that steam generated by the boiler is sufficient to achieve the target load for the steam turbine.
