Patent number: 11366747Abstract: An automated testing framework to coordinate functions among code management, build management, automated test, resource reservation, artifact repositories and team communication subsystems. In one embodiment specific to software development, software developers check new code into a code management subsystem, a development project tracking system, or other tools that automatically generate a build. Test suites are then automatically selected and executed based on a scope of the project or code that was built. This scope can include such attributes as what portion of the software was built, the purpose (objective) of the build, the maturity of developing that build, and so forth. In one implementation, label directives may be used to associate build scope to test suites. During or after the automated tests, other actions may then be automatically triggered, to store test results, inform the development team, stored data integrated with test definition and results, or update an artifact repository.Type: GrantFiled: March 18, 2019Date of Patent: June 21, 2022Assignee: Sungard Availability Services, LPInventors: David J. Allen, Umesh Kute, Steven Halzel

Patent number: 10428939Abstract: A variable speed transmission having a plurality of tilting balls and opposing input and output discs is illustrated and described that provides an infinite number of speed combinations over its transmission ratio range. The use of a planetary gear set allows minimum speeds to be in reverse and the unique geometry of the transmission allows all of the power paths to be coaxial, thereby reducing overall size and complexity of the transmission in comparison to transmissions achieving similar transmission ratio ranges.Type: GrantFiled: August 11, 2017Date of Patent: October 1, 2019Assignee: Fallbrook Intellectual Property Company LLCInventors: Donald C. Miller, David J. Allen, Robert A. Smithson

Publication number: 20180008389Abstract: A tray appliance of the present disclosure has a first dissolvable sheet and a first substance formed within a second dissolvable sheet. The first dissolvable sheet is laid on the second dissolvable sheet and is formed into a first dissolvable negative impression of a person's teeth, gingival tissue, or other soft tissue, such that when first dissolvable negative impression is worn by a person, the first dissolvable negative impression dissolves and releases the first substance into the person's saliva, teeth, gingival tissue, or other soft tissue.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 11, 2017Publication date: January 11, 2018Inventors: David J.

Patent number: 7873835Abstract: Restricting access to a device includes obtaining a passphrase for a user, obtaining access credentials for the user, obtaining a PIN value for the user, one-way encrypting at least the access credentials and the PIN using a secret key provided with the device. The user is allowed access to the device if the result of one-way encrypting equals the passphrase. The user is denied access to the device if the result of one-way encrypting does not equal the passphrase. The device may be a storage device. The access credentials may include a username that identifies the user and may include a role for the user. The access credentials may include a time period for which access is allowed. Access may be subsequently revoked in response to the current date and time being greater than the time period for which access is allowed.Type: GrantFiled: March 31, 2006Date of Patent: January 18, 2011Assignee: EMC CorporationInventors: Yedidia Atzmony, David J.
