  • Publication number: 20240143285
    Abstract: A program code component module implementing a portion of a program application is received. A trained machine learning model is used to automatically predict to which one among a plurality of program architecture layer classifications the program code component module belongs. An automatic analysis option is selected based on the predicted program architecture layer classification for the program code component module. The selected automatic analysis option is performed on the program code component module.

  • Patent number: 11063821
    Abstract: Systems and methods for the remote update and distribution of configuration information in a communication network made up of a plurality of nodes some of which are mobile and some of which are fixed in location. Updated information for configuring the nodes may be updated using different types of routes through the communication network, where some routes may be direct from a node to a location of an update, some routes may pass through another node, and some routes may be used only when a certain communication technology is available. The nodes may be dynamically configured based on a number of factors.

  • Patent number: 10596905
    Abstract: A method, system, and devices for implementing a selectively lighted instrument cluster are disclosed herein. The aspects employ a light house layer (or collection of light house layers) using a combination of light and dark materials to provide individually lit indicia on a cover layer (i.e. applique layer) of an instrument cluster. The combination of light and dark layers selectively applied prevents light leakage into other non-intended portions on the viewable surface of the instrument cluster.
