Abstract: There is disclosed a method of operating a mobile device, wherein: a temperature sensor comprised in said mobile device measures, at a first time instant, an initial temperature value; the temperature sensor measures, at a second time instant, a current temperature value; a processing unit comprised in said mobile device calculates an ambient temperature around the mobile device in dependence on the initial temperature value, the current temperature value and at least one further value which is indicative of a thermal influence of a mobile device component on the temperature sensor. Furthermore, a corresponding computer program product is disclosed, as well as a corresponding mobile device.

Abstract: An automated system is provided to support massive scale grid of machines in a rapid, multi-developer coding environment. The system has virtual testing environments that are created from template machines, supporting various software versions for various code branches. The grid is built by having a small subset of template machines (e.g. with Oracle 9g, 10g, and application server installations), images of the template machines, virtual machine instances created by applying one or more of the image templates, which then are used by the virtual testing environment. Upon receipt of code changes, changes are checked-out, compiled, tested on various test feeds on a virtual testing environment, which is destroyed and re-created after every test run. Any software version upgrades or bug fixes need to be applied only to the template machines. The number of virtual machines associated with any particular template machine is dynamically configurable to provision for optimal use of testing machines.
