Abstract: Queued software patches are analyzed before one patch is chosen as the next patch to be integrated into a working build. The chosen patch might not be next in chronological order of arrival at the queue. Instead, an illustrative build server applies a number of priority factors to every patch awaiting integration in the patch queue, specifically by analyzing one or more relevant attributes of the patch. The patch that receives the highest priority score in the course of the evaluation is then extracted for integration. After the patch has been integrated, the build server (e.g., using an illustrative patch queue manager module) circles back and again evaluates all the patches in the current queue, which may have queued new patches that were submitted while the previous patch was being integrated. Relative to a default chronological order, a given patch may receive a boost in priority or, conversely, may have its priority reduced.

Abstract: When an application is booted, a font that will be used with the application is identified and it is determined whether the identified font it locally available to the device. If not, a request to a remote font service is automatically generated, and the identified font is downloaded based upon the detected application boot. The device then finishes booting the application.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a method receives a software command from a software element in a main computer at a management computer via an application programming interface (API) included in the management computer. The management computer manages the main computer, and the main computer controls services for a distributed computing system. The management computer then determines a hardware device associated with the software command where the management computer includes a communication pathway to the hardware device. The management computer translates the software command to a hardware command that the hardware device can process where the hardware device cannot process the software command. Then, the management computer sends the hardware command to the hardware device via the communication pathway where the management computer provides the API to allow the software element to communicate with the hardware element without the software element having to translate the software command to the hardware command.

Abstract: Disclosed is a computerized process and system for modeling aeraulic flows in an environment in particular for the evaluation of the risks of airborne contamination. The principle of the process consists in considering that in a given individual unit or mesh, defined as fairly small, the final values of the primitive variables (V, P, T) are the result of their primary values calculated in an irrotational field composed of a “pressure-velocity” coupling with a turbulence model adapted to Newtonian and incompressible fluids belonging to the range of validity of the process.

Abstract: A data center includes various sets of infrastructure modules which each provide a particular type of infrastructure support to support computing operations in the data center. Separate sets of infrastructure modules can be installed incrementally based on incrementally changing support capacity for the corresponding type of infrastructure support in the data center. Such incrementally changing support capacity can be based upon support requirements of electrical loads, including rack computer systems, which are inbound to the data center. Where support capacity for a particular type of infrastructure support drops below a threshold, a quantity of additional infrastructure modules which provide the particular type of infrastructure support can be selected and installed to increase the support capacity.

Abstract: A computer system exposes a hardware access library providing an interface for commanding an input/output device of the computer system. The computer system launches an agent process that can receives a request from a remote process to command the I/O device. The agent process invokes a first call to a middleware driver, the middleware driver invokes a second call to the client proxy, and the client proxy invokes a third call to a server stub, and the server stub accesses the input/output device responsive to receiving the third call via the hardware access library.

Abstract: A user interface for dynamically validating at least a portion of programming codes as an application program interface (API) modification request. A first window area statically displays data definitions for one or more configurable elements for a request to be operably connected to an API. A second window area displays programming codes structured according to the data definitions for the request. The second window area also receives a first input from a user to modify the configurable elements. In response to receiving the first input, a dynamic request display area receives an instruction from the user to submit the programming codes to the API for validation. The submitted programming codes are not complete as a complete transaction request for processing by the API. The dynamic request display area displays a response substantially immediate after the programming codes are submitted, and response indicates whether the submitted programming codes are valid.

Abstract: A building information modeling (BIM) feedback system has at least one data system, a model presentation server system, a user device, and an information feedback database management system (DBMS). The data system receives objects posted by the model manager and then retrieves information of a building model and object mapping information, wherein the object mapping information records the relation between object identifications and the retrieved objects.
