Abstract: Apparatus and methods are described for adapting a programming environment to handle renamed programming constructs such as classes and packages. Non-canonical identifiers that reference renamed programming constructs can be used in code parts to be executed in the programming environment, and the code parts can execute, without disruption or user intervention, using related canonical identifiers. The solutions described herein provide backward and forward compatibility for code and data affected by renaming of programming constructs.

Abstract: A system includes a tubular member (60) including a radially outer surface (60c) and a sensor assembly (128). The sensor assembly includes a strain sensor coupled to the radially outer surface. In addition, the sensor assembly includes a first coating having (134) a first hardness and a first tensile strength. The first coating encases the strain sensor (131,130) and at least part (64) of the outer surface. Further, the sensor assembly includes a second coating (136) having a second hardness that is greater than the first hardness and a second tensile strength that is greater than the first tensile strength. The second coating encases the first coating and at least another part (68) of the radially outer surface.

Abstract: In an embodiment, a technique for acquiring a class definition of a class, the class associated with an enumeration, the enumeration enumerating a partial list of instances of the class; generating a data structure based on the class definition, the data structure associating one or more identifiers with an instance enumerated in the enumeration; and storing the data structure in a computer storage.

Abstract: A class definition syntax that leverages the array and math-oriented nature of a dynamically typed array-based programming language is discussed. The present invention provides a simplified mechanism for the creation of element-wise methods. Additionally, a mechanism for defining derived classes in a dynamically typed array-based programming language using mathematical set notation and semantics is also supported.

Abstract: The illustrative embodiment of the present invention provides a method for extending a programming language to interact with foreign object systems. Through the use of an opaque interface, a requesting unit may interact with multiple foreign object systems. The requesting unit is an executable piece of code such as a script, applet or application. A single set of procedures written into the opaque interface and accessible by the requesting unit enable the requesting unit to interact with the foreign object systems. The foreign object systems register with the opaque interface. The registration process for the object systems includes the creation and registration of a defined set of functions, the format for which is provided by the opaque interface. The defined set of functions are called by the procedures in the opaque interface and execute in the object system.

Abstract: A method and apparatus, including a computer program apparatus, which facilitate invoking methods of objects defined within an object-oriented environment from an array-based technical computing environment often used in conventional mathematical tools. When a method is invoked from the computing environment, the techniques automatically compare the array input parameters with data-types accepted by methods defined within the object-oriented environment. Based on this comparison, the invention selects a method that best accepts the input arrays. The invention, therefore, allows a user to easily invoke methods from external objects, such as Java objects, directly from the technical computing environment of the mathematical tool.
