  • Publication number: 20140282356
    Abstract: One aspect of the disclosure provides a method including generating a graph database that stores records representing objects in a software development project. Each record is a node in a graph. The graph database further stores a set of relationships, with each relationship defining an edge between two related objects. The method also includes receiving a request for an analysis report corresponding to a specific object with respect to at least a portion of the software development project. The method also includes identifying one or more relationships of the specific object based on the set of relationships. The method includes determining a set of related objects that have a relationship to the specific object based on the identified relationships. The method further includes generating the analysis model based on the specific object, the identified relationships and the set of related objects. The method also includes providing the analysis model.

  • Patent number: 6893184
    Abstract: A positive lock pin for locking a plurality of objects together includes an upper housing in communication with a handle housing. The handle housing has a shaft member located therein. The shaft member is rotatable with respect to the handle housing and has a slot formed in an upper portion thereof. The shaft member also has a pair of recesses formed therein. The shaft member is in communication with a pair of retention mechanisms disposed within the handle housing. Each of the pair or retention mechanisms is in communication with a respective opening formed in the handle housing. The pair of retention mechanisms are moveable between a locked position where an outermost point thereof extends outwardly from a respective opening and an unlocked position wherein the outermost point does not extend outwardly from the respective opening and a respective retention mechanism rests in one of the recesses. The movement of the retention mechanisms occurs upon rotation of the slot and the shaft member.

  • Patent number: 6752562
    Abstract: A quick install positive lock pin for locking a plurality of objects together includes a handle portion which is in communication with a handle housing. The handle housing has an interior cavity within which a shaft member is disposed. The pin also includes a pair of retention mechanisms located in the handle portion that are moveable between a locked position where the mechanism extends outwardly of a slot formed in the handle housing and an unlocked position where the mechanisms extend no further than the outer edge of the opening. The retention mechanisms include a pair of plates that rotate upon reciprocal movement of the shaft member to move the retention mechanisms between the locked position and the unlocked position.
