Abstract: A transaction suspension system rapidly determines whether messages received by a data transaction processing system correspond to a stored message pattern. Stored message patterns may relate to a transaction type associated with each message, which sources transmitted the messages, and when messages were received by the data transaction processing system. The transaction suspension system may prevent the processing of messages, e.g., messages from a specific source, even if the messages would have otherwise qualified for processing or execution.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for providing a screenshot service on a terminal device and a storage medium and device. The method includes: a producer thread responds to a received screenshot command instruction, executes a screenshot operation, and writes shot screen data into a buffer region; and a consumer thread reads the screen data stored by the producer thread from the buffer region, executes image processing on the screen data to generate a screenshot image, and returns the screenshot image to an application which invokes a screenshot service. Adopting a multi-thread mode of a producer/consumer to complete a screenshot service respectively through a producer thread used for executing screen shooting and a consumer thread used for executing image processing on shot screen data can especially reduce screenshot time on a portable terminal device with limited processing capability, and can complete the screenshot service within tens of milliseconds.

Abstract: Parallel processing of events having multi-dimensional dependencies is provided. Each event has at least one profile and each profile has at least one profile key. An event is dependent on another event if they have at least one common profile key. The profile key(s) for a plurality of profiles of the given event are compared to profile keys of previously queued events. A given event is assigned to a same queue as at least one dependent event. When a given event is dependent on events in at least two queues, the given event is not assigned to a queue until only one queue has dependent events remaining to be processed. A list of profile keys that have been assigned to each queue and/or a reference count of a number of events that have been queued for each profile key are optionally maintained.

Abstract: A drive control method for an electric expansion valve is disclosed. In the disclosure, before applying a drive pulse signal corresponding to a rotary pulse number to a motor of the electronic expansion valve, a secondary positioning is performed on a relative position between stator magnetic field of the motor and rotor magnetic field of the motor by applying a holding current of a first duration time to the motor, applying an pulse signal of an additional pulse number to the motor, and applying a holding current of a second duration time to the motor, and a same secondary positioning operation is also performed on the motor after applying the drive pulse signal corresponding to the rotary pulse number to the motor of the electronic expansion valve, which ensures that the electronic expansion valve operates according to the drive pulse signal corresponding to the rotary pulse number.

Abstract: A method for using shadow Java classes to provide private metadata in an application. An XML schema defining a public API is used by a generator to create the public API data classes and a corresponding set of shadow classes. The shadow classes contain metadata describing each corresponding API class, including overall class metadata, and metadata pertaining to each field in the class. When a public class is to be encoded and sent out over the wire, the encoder looks up the shadow metadata—which includes the class structure and eliminates the need to use Java reflection to expand the class. The encoder then walks through the fields of the class and encodes the object—using shorthand simplifications enabled by the metadata. The encoding process is fast because of the avoidance of reflection, and the encoded data is compact due to the simplifications. A similar process is used for de-serializing.

Furthermore, the method implements control wherein a speed is acquired on the basis of the output signal of the acceleration detector, and a signal obtained by multiplying the acquired speed by a gain is added to a speed instruction which is outputted from the position controller.

Abstract: Emulating as supported web browser feature when a webpage is merely testing for web browser support of various features. Frequently a web page may test for support of various features of a web browser. The present technology prevents the unnecessary and premature initiation of supported features saving a user time from having to authorize its use in addition to saving the valuable system resources (e.g. memory, power, etc.) before the supported features are actually needed by the webpage. By emulating or spoofing support of various features of a web browser, the user of a computing device can be spared authorizing use of the various features, and spared the extra power consumption of initializing the various features that may not be used.

Abstract: An interface software layer is interposed between at least one application and a plurality of coprocessors. A data and command stream issued by the application(s) to an API of an intended one of the coprocessors is intercepted by the layer, which also acquires and stores the execution state information for the intended coprocessor at a coprocessor synchronization boundary. At least a portion of the intercepted data and command stream data is stored in a replay log associated with the intended coprocessor. The replay log associated with the intended coprocessor is then read out, along with the stored execution state information, and is submitted to and serviced by at least one different one of the coprocessors other than the intended coprocessor.

A connection between the particular type of HVAC system component and the programmable controller that satisfies the determined configuration is detected.

Abstract: A device control apparatus periodically transmits a status confirmation signal to a control source device described in a cooperation control table and receives a response signal with respect to the status confirmation signal. Device control apparatus determines whether or not a status included in the response signal matches a status described in the cooperation control table. If they match, a control destination device, an operation and a control command corresponding to the operation are specified using the cooperation control table. A configuration for transmitting a control command with respect to the control destination device is provided. Therefore, even in a case where a communication protocol and the control command are different from one another in makers of devices, it is possible to realize cooperation control.

Abstract: A system and approach for monitoring and controlling energy consumption. The system may incorporate one or more devices configured on a floor map, a monitor that detects energy consumption by each of the one or more devices, a heat map shown on the floor map, a processor, and a user interface having a display connected to the processor. The heat map may indicate energy consumption in various areas of the floor plan. The floor map with the heat map may be a screen showable on the display. The energy consumption by each of the one or more devices from the monitor may be calculated by the processor in terms of time that each device is active and in terms of a power rating of the respective device. The energy consumption by each of the one or more devices may be converted by the processor into cost. From a screen, a user may define a virtual and dynamic zone to optimize and control the energy consumption with duration to apply the changes.

Abstract: A method may include creating objects by executing a program in a first thread. Creating the objects may include allocating, for each object, storage based on a shape assigned to the object. The storage may include separate, non-reusable storage locations. Each storage location may correspond to a field of the object. The shape may include a sharing status and a mapping of each field of the object to a storage location. The method may further include detecting that the program is initiating a second concurrent thread of execution, and designating a subset of objects as shared objects. Designating the subset of objects as shared objects may include setting the sharing status of the shape assigned to each shared object to indicate that the object is shared. The method may further include initiating tracking of shared objects and implementing a write barrier when writing to shared objects.
