  • Publication number: 20050289396
    Abstract: A conditional breakpointing mechanism associates a breakpoint with a location in a program and with a breakpoint function that will be called to execute when the location is reached during a debugging session. The breakpoint function determines if a break will occur. The conditional breakpointing mechanism may used in a multi-threaded, multi-processor simulation environment.

  • Publication number: 20050283674
    Abstract: Provided is a method, system, and program for navigating breakpoints in a program in a debugging mode. A user interface is rendered to display at least one program corresponding to at least one object file being executed in a debugging mode. A list is maintained of breakpoints in the at least one program. Code is rendered from one program including a selected first breakpoint. User input is received to access a second breakpoint and a selection is made from the list of the second breakpoint in one of the program.

  • Patent number: 6945243
    Abstract: A portable Dutch Oven stand comprising a low aspect ratio and few parts which are integrally pieced together into one transportable unit. In a preferred form the Dutch Oven Stand includes a tray for holding cooking fuel (typically charcoal briquettes) at a safe distance from the ground while also maintaining such fuel from falling onto the ground, and while also supporting at least one Dutch Oven during cooking. The Dutch Oven stand also comprises folding legs permanently attached to the tray, a leveling means forming a part of the tray to level the stand prior to cooking, and a rotatable platform assembly for rotating a Dutch Oven while on the stand without lifting the Dutch Oven from the stand.

  • Publication number: 20050146151
    Abstract: The present invention provides a new and improved method of accessing work tools by users who choose to use the pickup truck as the means of transportation and containment of the work tools they use on a regular basis. The present invention also incorporates a protective lining for the bed of the pickup truck. The protective lining in the bed of the pick-up doubles the system's utility. The protective liner allows the bed of the pickup truck to be used for carrying additional cargo.

  • Publication number: 20050122543
    Abstract: Electronic document design systems and methods allowing a user to generate many different color image versions from a grayscale-based image. Grayscale images are stored as patterns and applied as pattern fill of markup language shapes. When a grayscale image is applied as pattern fill, the original black and white color components of the grayscale image are replaced with the two colors specified by the pattern fill element and a color version of the image based on the two colors is displayed to the user as the content of the shape. By changing the colors associated with the pattern fill element, many different color variations of the image can be produced and displayed for user review. One or more color selection tools are provided to allow the user to select different pairs of colors to be used to generate color image versions.

  • Publication number: 20050108689
    Abstract: A tool that enables a user to perform instruction operand tracing during debug is presented. While executing microcode on a simulator, a history of register and memory values is saved. A graphic user interface uses these values to present a view of the microcode in a thread history. The user can use the thread history to select any given cycle time of the simulation, and switch over to a thread window (or code list view). The instruction that executed at the cycle of interest is marked in the code list view, and right-clicking on the code line, the user is given options, including an option to jump backward in time to the code line where a source variable was set and/or the option to jump forward in time to a code line that used a result variable.

  • Publication number: 20050010868
    Abstract: Automated electronic document design systems and methods for combining identified images and layouts into electronic product templates for displaying to a user. A plurality of images and a plurality of layouts are retained. Stored images are identified based on keyword input by the user. Stored layouts contain one or more image containers and are identified based on product type and number of layout images input by the user. Images and layout image containers are designed to use pre-determined standard sizes to facilitate modularity and the ready combination of images and layouts.
