  • Patent number: 9612911
    Abstract: A method for using an undo stack to explore past actions and apply new actions to previous states in a data view. The method includes detecting a change in an application data view. The application then displays an undo stack and stores the data change in the application data view to the undo stack. Upon detecting a selection of the undo stack entry for undo, the application returns the application data view to the state represented by the undo stack entry. The method further includes providing a user interface allowing a user to perform operations on undo stack entries. Responsive to the user utilizing the user interface and making selections, the application then adjusts the application data view state based on the performed actions.

  • Patent number: 9568746
    Abstract: A set of responsive nose pad mechanisms is provided for notifying a user of an alert using one or more responsive nose pads coupled to a set of eyeglasses the user is wearing. Responsive to receiving a signal from a mobile device, each responsive nose pad signaling mechanism in the set of responsive nose pad mechanisms determines whether the signal is intended for the responsive nose pad signaling mechanism. Responsive to the signal being intended for the responsive nose pad signaling mechanism, the responsive nose pad signaling mechanism identifies one or more alerts to be implemented. The responsive nose pad mechanism then implements the one or more alerts such that the alert is generated by one or more devices within the associated responsive nose pad.

  • Publication number: 20150357950
    Abstract: An apparatus for controlling a turbogenerator system when a power electronics circuit of the turbogenerator system is unable to provide a sufficient load on the turbogenerator to prevent the turbogenerator from accelerating uncontrollably is described. The apparatus comprises a monitor including a first sensing device operable to detect a condition of the turbogenerator, and a brake controller responsive to a turbogenerator detection output from the first sensing device to issue a first brake control signal for operating a brake circuit to prevent the turbogenerator from accelerating uncontrollably and a second brake control signal for operating the brake circuit to permit resumption of normal operation of the turbogenerator.

  • Patent number: 9027883
    Abstract: A shock control fairing for mounting a junction between adjoining aircraft surfaces. The fairing has a cross-sectional profile which varies along the length of the fairing. The cross-sectional profile of the fairing has a maximum area at a location which, when mounted to an aircraft, is substantially proximal to a location on the surface of the aircraft at which a shock would be expected to develop without the fairing.

  • Publication number: 20150088540
    Abstract: Devices, systems, and methods for use in managing patient treatments utilizing pharmaceutical or therapeutic compounds. Methods include accessing one or more fields of information relating to any of a patient, physician and drug treatment and relating the one or more fields, or combination thereof, to a particular attribute or outcome. By analyzing the one or more fields of data in relation to the attribute or outcome, the system determines suitability of an intervention(s) and tasks the intervention(s) to one or more entities to facilitate the desired attribute or outcome. In certain aspects, the system facilitates identification of complex relationships and trends between seemingly unrelated fields of information and outputs information for use in an intervention or various other purposes according to the attribute or outcome desired by the user.

  • Patent number: 8875111
    Abstract: A system and method for facilitating analysis and modification of a computer program. A directed graph is generated from an intermediate language representation of a computer program function, with a node representing each instruction. Meta-edges or meta-nodes are inserted into the directed graph to facilitate location of instruction nodes. One type of meta-edge is a back edge that identifies branch instruction nodes. Some meta-nodes may identify instructions of a specific type. Some meta-nodes may identify exception blocks and corresponding handlers. Analysis of a program function may include insertion of new instructions prior to execution of the function.

  • Patent number: 8595709
    Abstract: A system and method for generating a computer program call graph. A profiler may insert probes into a debuggee computer program, the probes generating call trace events. Checkpoints may be performed during execution of the debuggee program, so that a snapshot of the call stack is performed. Call trace events and checkpoint snapshots are logged and serialized. Logged call trace events and checkpoints may be retrieved and used in combination to generate a call graph and a shadow stack. Mechanisms facilitate combining the different sources of debuggee program information and determining whether the call graph and shadow stack are determinate or indeterminate at any time. The mechanisms may provide for improved accuracy of generated call graphs.

  • Patent number: 8232116
    Abstract: A light-emissive device is prepared by depositing a polymer layer on a substrate. The deposition process utilizes a formulation comprising a conjugated polymer dissolved in a solvent, the solvent including a trialkyl-substituted aromatic hydrocarbon wherein at least two of the alkyl substituents are ortho to one another. The deposition of the polymer layer on the substrate may be accomplished by an ink-jet method.
