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.

Abstract: A circulator is provided, comprising, first second and third conductors forming three equally spaced junctions and a permanent magnet configured to apply a shaped bias magnetic field to a ferrite resonator in operable communication with the first, second, and third conductors. The permanent magnet comprises a substantially planar monolithic structure having defined thereon at least first and second substantially concentric regions having first and second respective magnetic field strength levels, wherein the second magnetic field strength level is lower than the first magnetic field strength level. The first and second magnetic field strength levels are configured to cooperate to shape an external bias magnetic field of the permanent magnet to counteract at least a portion of a demagnetizing effect resulting from of an overall shape of the ferrite resonator, to achieve a substantially uniform internal magnetic bias within at least a portion of the ferrite resonator.

Abstract: A roof system including roof support and roof, preferably a flat roof. The roof support includes (a) a plurality of first joists and (b) a plurality of second joists. Each first joist acts as a roof girder. Each second joist extends between a pair of adjacent first joists. Each first joist and each second joist includes a top chord, a bottom chord and web members connecting the chords. Each top chord is hollow, rectangular cross section and sealed; each bottom chord and web member is preferably a hollow sealed pipe. As a result the roof support can be made of joists with a minimum of flat surfaces and nooks and crannies where dust and particles can collect, so that the roof support is easier to wash and regularly sanitize.
