  • Publication number: 20180181389
    Abstract: Various embodiments synchronize comments in a source code file with text of a source code document. In one embodiment, a source code document is compared to a corresponding source code file. The source code document comprises a set of text corresponding to a set of source code comment text in the corresponding source code file. The source code document is configured to display the set of text in a stylized format when presented to a user. The set of text in the source code document is determined to be different than the set of source code comment text in the source code file based on the comparison. At least the set of source code comment text in the source code file is automatically changed based on the set of text from the source code document and in response to the determination.

  • Patent number: 9940216
    Abstract: An information processing system, computer readable storage medium, and method with an integrated development environment to guide development of applications to implement a programming design objective. A method includes analyzing a selected portion of source code according to meeting each programming design objective from a set of programming design objectives; selecting, based on the analyzing, at least one programming design objective from the programming design objectives, the selected at least one programming design objective being determined suitable for the selected portion of source code based on one of conforming with constraints of the objective, or failing to conform and determining a quick fix can be applied by update to the source code to make it conform. The method outputs a message corresponding to the selected portion of source code and indicative of the selected programming design objective suitable for the portion of source code.

  • Patent number: 9874358
    Abstract: A cooking oven comprising a housing, a cavity, an oven door, an air plenum, an infrared heating element, and a thermal insulating layer placed between the infrared heating element and the air plenum is disclosed. The infrared hearing element comprises a wire-like heating element shaped in a serpentine-pattern to form a plurality of fingers. The thermal insulating layer comprises a plurality of air channels interconnecting the air plenum and the cavity, and one or more temperature decoupling chambers for thermally insulating the air plenum from the infrared heating element. The air channels are positioned interleavingly between the plurality of fingers so that airstreams coming from the air plenum through each of the air channels into the cavity do not substantially contact and convectively cool the infrared heating element. The temperature decoupling chambers may use air as a thermal insulator.
