  • Patent number: 11942300
    Abstract: A fuse shield features a cylindrical body, a first cap cover, a second cap cover, and a stop region. The cylindrical body is adapted to be placed over and partially surround a cylindrical fuse. The cylindrical body is sandwiched between the first and second cap covers. The stop region is located on an edge of the first cap cover to limit rotation of the cylindrical fuse to a first degree in one direction on a flat surface.

  • Publication number: 20240083319
    Abstract: A vehicle includes a body, an access aperture that is defined by the body, a closure panel, and an auxiliary panel. The closure panel is movably coupled to the body. The closure panel is movable between an open position and a closed position such that the closure panel selectively covers the access aperture. The auxiliary panel is removably coupled to the closure panel. The auxiliary panel is movable between an engaged state and a disengaged state relative to the closure panel. The auxiliary panel travels with the closure panel when the auxiliary panel is in the engaged state. The disengaged state of the auxiliary panel corresponds with a use position of the auxiliary panel.

  • Publication number: 20240053980
    Abstract: A method, computer system, and a computer program product for generating instructions to highlight software change may be provided. In one embodiment, the technique comprises obtaining information about a requested modification to an original code of a software program and classifying it based on the type of change requested by the modification. The unit tests available are then identified. At least one of the identified unit tests are selected and customized based on classification of the type of code modification requested. Using the at least one selected and customized unit test, the differences between the original and modified code may be identified. One or more test execution stories are then generated related to the modification of the code, to highlight the changes. Test execution stories are further analyzed to provide any additional missing information.

  • Patent number: 11687811
    Abstract: A question database storing questions and a conditional probability of one question to be asked given that a previous question was asked is searched to predict a future question based on the conditional probability stored in the question database given an input question as the previous question. The future question is suggested to a user. Responsive to receiving an acceptance of the future question, the question database is updated to strengthen the conditional probability associated with the future question occurring given the input question. An answer to the future question can be provided and searching, predicting, suggesting and updating may be repeated, with the future question as the input question, until the future question is declined.

  • Publication number: 20230088318
    Abstract: A method of repairing crashed applications includes detecting a crash in an application operating in a host computing device. The application is migrated to a remote computer server. The remote computer server provisions computing resources to the application, while the application is resident in the remote computer server. Resumed operation of the application is executed, using the provisioned computing resources, in the remote computer server. Execution results are generated from the application, in the remote computer server. The generated execution results are migrated from the application back to the host computing device.

  • Publication number: 20230012543
    Abstract: A method of data transformation for acceleration of context migration includes monitoring user actions in a source code development environment using fragment-based source code documents are monitored. A content of each fragment of the source code document is determined. A sequence of execution of the fragments is determined. A status of a project captured by the source code development environment is determined. A fidelity of the data to be transformed to a new execution environment is determined. Upon determining that a new execution environment is warranted based on the determined fidelity, the new execution environment is determined. The one or more fragments are then executed in the new execution environment.

  • Publication number: 20220405065
    Abstract: A method and system of generating a documentation includes monitoring user actions regarding a model development, wherein the user actions are captured in a source code development environment. Semantic meaning is provided for each user action captured in the source code development environment. A degree of impact of each user action is determined in connection with the model. Actions having a degree of impact in the development of the model that is above a predetermined threshold are identified as impactful actions. An interactive knowledge graph is identified based on the user actions, semantic meaning of each action, and the determined degree of impact of each user action. The interactive knowledge graph is provided to be displayed in a navigable way.

  • Publication number: 20220318049
    Abstract: A collection of code fragments loaded in an interactive development platform for running on a first processor can be received. A candidate fragment in the collection of code fragments can be determined for migration to a second processor based on characterizing the collection of code fragments. Based on a location of the candidate fragment in the collection of code fragments, a spot can be identified in the collection of code fragments to inject a code for saving program context. The code for saving program context can be injected in the identified spot. Responsive to the code for saving program context having run on the first processor and based on a criterion, the program context can be migrated to the second processor.

  • Patent number: 10599644
    Abstract: A method for answering a natural-language user query includes receiving a query from a user by a central agent, parsing the query, and determining if an answer is known to the central agent as being within a local database. If the answer is known, the query is answered with a known natural-language answer using the local database. If not, artificial conversational entity (ACE) invocation is performed. The ACE invocation includes determining a topical field for the query, determining an ACE, of a plurality of ACEs, to send the query to, based on the topical field, and sending the query to the ACE. If the ACE is capable of answering, a natural-language answer is received from the ACE and presented to the user. If not, a natural-language answer is created using social knowledge and presented to the user. Social knowledge includes data crawled from subscriber-provided content of social media services.
