  • Publication number: 20160266994
    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.

  • Publication number: 20160245529
    Abstract: A portable and collapsible stove and lantern allowing clean combustion of biomass fuels found in the natural environment comprises a top member, a transparent member, a support member having an orifice and a plurality of windows, a chamber having a plurality of top and bottom openings and a mesh to support biomass fuels, and a main body having an insulation member, a reflecting member and a plurality of middle openings. When used, the transparent member is disposed within the support member that is disposed on top of the chamber which is then disposed within the main body, and the top member is disposed on top of the support member. Air drawn into the main body by the plurality of middle openings is further drawn into the chamber by the pluralities of top and bottom openings, mixed with fuels for combustion, producing flame into the support member through the orifice.

  • Patent number: 9423945
    Abstract: A method and system are disclosed in which a group of people are able to replicate the physical world experience of going with a group of friends to pick a movie, watch the movie together, and provide commentary on the movie itself in the virtual world on a virtual couch while each user is sitting in different physical locations. Additionally, the virtual representation of the destination that the group of people are watching the movie together in can be themed to allow users to watch movies in different locations pivoting on special events or by the users choice.

  • Publication number: 20160202971
    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: 9372257
    Abstract: A radar or sonar system amplifies the signal received by an antenna of the radar system or a transducer of the sonar system is amplified and then subject to linear demodulation by a linear receiver. There may be an anti-aliasing filter and an analog-to-digital converter between the amplifier and the linear receiver. The system may also have a digital signal processor with a network stack running in the processor. That processor may also have a network interface media access controller, where the system operates at different ranges, the modulator may produce pulses of two pulse patterns differing in pulse duration and inter-pulse spacing, those pulse patterns are introduced and used to form two radar images with the two images being derived from data acquired in a duration not more than twenty times larger than the larger inter-pulse spacing, or for a radar system, larger than one half of the antenna resolution time. One or more look-up tables may be used to control the amplifier.

  • Patent number: 9362064
    Abstract: An opening assembly is provided for an electrical switching apparatus having a housing, separable contacts enclosed by the housing, and an operating mechanism for opening and closing the separable contacts. The operating mechanism includes a poleshaft. The opening assembly includes a spring link comprising a first portion structured to be pivotably coupled to the poleshaft, and a second portion disposed generally opposite of the first portion. A number of opening springs each include a stationary end coupled to the housing, and a movable end coupled to the second portion of the spring link. The spring link is movable between an open position, wherein the opening springs bias the spring link and poleshaft to maintain full separation of the separable contacts, and a closed position, wherein the opening springs either do not bias the poleshaft or bias the poleshaft with a low level of torque.

  • Patent number: 9361068
    Abstract: An information processing system, computer readable storage medium, and methods with an integrated development environment (IDE) to guide development of applications to implement a programming design objective. A method includes receiving, with a source code editor of the IDE, source code and a tag added to the source code, the tag indicating a programming design objective for the source code. The method includes invoking a source code analyzer that analyzes at least a portion of the source code and outputs a message in response to determining, based at least on the tag and the analyzing, that the at least a portion of the source code fails to conform to one or more constraints of the programming design objective indicated by the tag. One or more hints and proposals to fix the source code are displayed.

  • Publication number: 20160011868
    Abstract: Automated creation of augmented documentation fragments that are augmented with usage examples. A plurality of documentation fragments is stored, where each documentation fragment documents a software element and has at least one associated property. A corresponding source code software fragment that corresponds to at least one associated property of at least one software element is identified based on an automated software analysis process of source code within a source code repository and further based on a list of properties comprising each associated property of each software element within the plurality of software elements. An augmented documentation fragment that includes a selected documentation fragment and the at least one corresponding source code software fragment corresponding to at least one associated property of the selected documentation fragment is created in response to the identifying.
