These embodiments allow wireless nodes to migrate to better quality connections if they become available.

Abstract: A system and method tests computer software using tracking bits in branch instructions to track portions of the software that have been tested. The tracking bits are bits of a branch programming instruction and may be repurposed hint bits used in the prior art to control pre-fetch of instructions. A branch tracking unit sets bits in a branch instruction of an application or program being tested. The branch tracing unit sets a first bit if a branch is taken and sets a second tracking bit if the branch is not taken. The modified program instructions can be analyzed after running the test inputs to determine if any branches in the software have not been exercised by the test inputs.

Abstract: A method for recognizing speech in a vehicle includes receiving speech at a microphone installed to a vehicle, and determining whether the speech includes a navigation instruction. If the speech includes a navigation instruction, the speech may be sent to a remote facility. After sending the speech to the remote facility, a local speech recognition result is provided in the vehicle to the user. The speech sent to the remote facility may be used to provide corrective action. A system for recognizing speech in a vehicle may include a microphone, and may be configured to determine a local speech recognition result from the speech command and determine when the speech command includes a navigation instruction. The system may further include a remote server in communication with the vehicle that receives a sample of the speech command from the speech recognition system when the speech command includes a navigation instruction.
