  • Publication number: 20150347128
    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.

  • Publication number: 20150339104
    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: 20150322145
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to antibodies and fragments thereof (especially chimeric and humanized) having binding specificity for HGF and their use in therapy and diagnosis. These antibodies inhibit or block HGF-associated activities including HGF's effects on cell proliferation, invasion, angiogenesis, metastasis and fibrosis. Particularly the antibodies may be used as a monotherapy or in combination therapies in treating cancer, other proliferative disorders and other conditions wherein inhibition of HGF and/or the HGF/HGF-R (c-met) interaction is desired.

  • Publication number: 20150316645
    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: 9143895
    Abstract: A method and apparatus of processing a call are disclosed. One example method may include receiving a request at a server for dealer information. The request may be initiated by a user via his or her mobile station. The example method may also include determining whether there is user preference information and user location information included in the request. The information may be used to limit the amount of search results to increase relevancy. The method may also include searching a database for at least one dealer based on the user preference information and the user location information, and transferring the at least one dealer information to the user.

  • Patent number: 9123715
    Abstract: A method of hermetically sealing a glass assembly comprising glass plates or substrates with a glass-based frit when there is a large difference between the coefficient of thermal expansion (CTEs) of the frit and the CTEs of the glass plates. The method comprises a rapid increase of an irradiating heat source, used to heat and soften the frit, from a non-sealing power to a sealing power over a very short distance along the frit to form an initial stabilizing seal between the substrates.

  • Publication number: 20150144474
    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: 8930914
    Abstract: An information processing system, computer readable storage medium, and method for documenting the execution of long running applications. A processor of the information processing system operates to continuously collect snapshots monitored from an executing application on a runtime system. The processor selects, based at least on user specified policies, collected snapshots that indicate a significant change in runtime behavior of the executing application on the runtime system. The processor annotates each of the selected snapshots with description of the significant change in runtime behavior of the executing application. The processor operates to store and update documentation of an execution history of the executing application from the annotated snapshots.

  • Patent number: 8907239
    Abstract: A circuit interrupter includes an indicator apparatus having a pair of movable elements and a connection apparatus that enables the pair of movable elements to be cooperable. One of the movable elements is connected with an indicator element that indicates an OPEN and/or a CLOSED condition of the circuit interrupter. A pair of engagement structures are situated on the pair of movable elements and enable the pair of movable elements to be engageable with one another. A biasing element extends between the pair of movable elements and is configured to absorb some of the kinetic energy of a trip event, which resists breakage of the indicator apparatus. The indicator element changes states when the set of separable contacts are at a relatively small amount of separation and does not require the set of separable contacts to reach the end of their travel before changing state.
