  • Patent number: 10990515
    Abstract: An automated system is presented for unit testing an application in a mainframe execution environment. The system includes a test configurator, a stub setup routine and an interceptor routine. The test configurator is configured to receive and parse a test input file, where the test input file includes a record for a particular file accessed by the application using the given type of file system. Upon reading the record, the test configurator calls the stub setup routine. The stub setup routine is associated with the given type of file system and creates an object for the particular file in the mainframe execution environment, such that the object is instantiated from a class representing the given type of file system. The interceptor routine is accessible by the application. In response to a given command issued by the application for the given type of file system, the interceptor routine operates to interact with methods provided by the object.

  • Patent number: 10465657
    Abstract: System and methods for controlling the oscillation of floating ground stations in aerial wind turbine systems are disclosed. Thrusters on the ground station or on one or more aerial vehicles associated with the ground station apply a compensatory force to the oscillating ground station to reduce and/or substantially eliminate wave-induced oscillations. Submerged thrusters may also rotate the ground station to a preferred alignment direction with the waves. Additionally, control systems use environmental and/or positional sensor data to develop a predictive force profile that maps desired compensatory force magnitude versus time. The control systems use that predictive force profile to direct the thrusters to apply a varying compensatory force over time.

  • Patent number: 7389606
    Abstract: The hunting decoy includes first and second panels, each panel having an image formed on front and rear surfaces thereof to simulate an animal. Each of the first and second panels includes a pair of head portions, a main body portion, and a pair of legs. The first panel has a first slot formed therein, which extends from a top edge of the main body portion downward to a central region of the first main body portion. The second panel has a second slot formed therein, which extends from a bottom edge of the main body portion upward to a central region of the second main body portion. The first panel is releasably joined to the second panel at their respective slots and, preferably, the first panel is positioned substantially orthogonal to the second panel to form a freestanding cruciform decoy.
