Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for loop escape analysis in executing computer instructions. In one embodiment, a method comprises instructions performed by at least one computer process. The method comprises receiving a set of executable computer instructions stored on a storage medium (e.g., by reading the instructions from a tangible, non-transitory storage medium). The method further comprises analyzing the computer instructions to determine a loop, analyzing the computer instructions to determine at least one new variable in the loop, and storing, in a data structure, at least one of an operation related to the variable or a value related to the variable. The method further comprises determining whether to compress the data structure upon reaching the end of the loop, and, based on the determination, compressing the data structure. Systems and computer-readable media are also provided.

Abstract: A computer-based method includes receiving, at a compute device, a collected set of system measurement facility (SMF) data from a mainframe operating system. The method includes, retrieving from a memory operatively coupled to the compute device, a set of SMF field-type identifiers. Each SMF field-type identifier having a one-to-one logical relation with a conditional value from a set of conditional values. The method includes selecting SMF field values from the collected set of SMF data, based on the set of conditional values. The SMF field values is a subset of SMF field values included in the collected set of SMF data. The method further includes executing a flattening process to produce a flattened record that includes at least one flattened SMF field value converted into a target format, and inserting the flattened record into a data repository compatible with the target format.

Abstract: A method and system of determining whether a specification is an accurate representation of an application program interface (API) is provided. The specification is received electronically over a network. Service calls to be tested are identified based on the specification. A test case is created for each of the identified service calls. A sequence is created for the test cases. A test plan is generated based on the created sequence. The generated test plan is executed. Upon identifying an error in response to the executed test plan, a notification is generated, indicating that the specification is not an accurate representation of the API.

Abstract: In one aspect, the present invention relates to a method for displacing fluid from a pipe. The method includes engaging a fluid-displacement system with the pipe. A displacement agent is pumped into the pipe via the fluid-displacement system. Fluid present within the pipe is displaced by the displacement agent. The pipe is manipulated in a desired manner.

Abstract: A hearing aid design is described that compartmentalizes hearing aid components for easier use and better operation. In one embodiment, the processing circuitry and transducers are disposed in housing designed to placed in the ear canal so as to be isolated from antennas and sources of noise. In one embodiment, the battery is moved out of the canal in a behind-the-ear housing so that the remaining components in the ear canal are smaller so as to improve fit rate.

Abstract: A method of controlling operation of an air conditioning system (10) includes measuring a compressor speed of one or more chillers (12) of an air conditioning system and measuring a refrigerant pressure of the one or more chillers of the air conditioning system. A chiller load is calculated using the compressor speed and the refrigerant pressure. An air conditioning system includes one or more chillers. Each chiller includes a compressor (22), a condenser (30) operably connected to the compressor, and an evaporator (28) operably connected to the compressor and the condenser. A controller (34) is operably connected to the one or more chillers and is configured to calculate a chiller load utilizing a measurement of compressor speed and a measurement of refrigerant pressure of the chiller.

Abstract: A security policy management solution (such as a Data Loss Prevention (DLP) system) is augmented to enable a user to model and visualize how changes in a security policy may impact (positively or negatively) the effectiveness of a policy configuration as well as the risk associated with its deployment. This technique enables a user (e.g., a security policy administrator) to evolve enterprise information technology (IT) security policies and, in particular, to generate and display “what-if” scenarios by which the user can determine trade-offs between, on the one hand, the effectiveness of a proposed change to a policy, and on the other hand, the risk associated with the proposed change.

Abstract: A method, apparatus and program storage device for providing real-time file system charge-back accounting with real time historical minimum and maximum usage per user or group during a report cycle. In a first storage area of file system memory, space allocation data for a current accounting period is monitored and persistently maintained. A minimum, maximum and average space allocation is calculated for the management object during the current accounting period. The calculated minimum, maximum and average space allocation for the management object may be moved to a second storage area of the file system memory while beginning to monitor and persistently maintain space allocation data of the management object in the first storage area of the file system memory during a subsequent accounting period.

Abstract: The present invention relates to pharmaceutical compositions comprising a solid dispersion of N-[2,4-Bis(1,1-dimethylethyl)-5-hydroxyphenyl]-1,4-dihydro-4-oxoquinoline-3-carboxamide, methods of manufacturing pharmaceutical compositions of the present invention, and methods of administering pharmaceutical compositions of the present invention.

Abstract: A communication system comprises a remote optimization server and a central optimization server adapted to communicate with each via a backhaul network. The central optimization server communicates with core network elements for data delivery. The servers provide access to local data servers, manage backhaul links, perform data caching, and optimize transmission of data that needs to be back-hauled in order to reduce data transfer via the backhaul network in a manner which is transparent to users and to core network elements. The servers perform compression and protocol optimization. The remote optimization server comprises a HTTP accelerator which uses client and server side optimization functions to retrieve a bundle of resources associated with a request for base HTML, and maintains a set of persistent connections over which all HTTP traffic is carried.
