  • Patent number: 10983804
    Abstract: Generally discussed herein are systems, apparatuses, and methods for patching a binary file using a nested executable. In one or more embodiments, a system can include a memory including a nested binary file stored thereon, the nested binary file including a child executable and a parent executable, the child executable configured as a payload of the parent executable, the parent executable including instructions that, when executed by an intermediate device, cause the intermediate device to identify a value of a variable of the child executable, determine a memory location on the target device corresponding to the variable, write the value of the variable to the child executable, and throw the child executable to the target device after writing the value of the variable to the determined memory location, and communications circuitry configured to provide the nested binary file to the intermediate device.

  • Patent number: 8190314
    Abstract: A method for linking together three or more powered systems to operate as a single distributed power system, the method includes identifying a first linking protocol between at least a first powered system and a second powered system, determining whether at least a third powered system is compatible with the first linking protocol, if not compatible, switching to at least a second linking protocol to find a common linking protocol between the first powered system, the second powered system, and at least the third powered system, and linking the first powered system, the second powered system, and at least the third power system to operate in a distributed power configuration when the common linking protocol is found. A system and a computer software code linking together two or more powered systems to operate as a single distributed power system are also disclosed.
