  • Publication number: 20240069907
    Abstract: Historic context data is automatically associated with particular pieces of source code by retrieval data structures. Ephemeral information is preserved, such as how a piece of code originated operationally and was changed over time, which research sources informed the code's origination and changes, and why particular changes in the code were made. Code may be rolled back to an earlier version based on parameters such as whether code had been refactored, or results of testing or static analysis. Rollback goes beyond editor undo actions, and a developer need not specify a timestamp or a version number. Developer documentation burdens are reduced, developer understanding is increased, and code quality is enhanced, by providing ready access to the code's software development context history data. Some actions made possible include highlighting code that was generated automatically by autocompletion or otherwise, highlighting refactored code, and highlighting pasted code, among other actions.

  • Publication number: 20150182474
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a disposable article to prevent the misuse of a transdermal dosage form (FIG. 1(a)). The article is comprised of an outer layer (1) having an inner layer-facing side and an opposite side; an inner layer (3) having an outer layer-facing side and an opposite side, the inner layer (3) joined to the outer layer (1) to form one or more closed material reservoir (2) between the outer layer-facing side of the inner layer (2) and the inner layer-facing side of the outer layer (1); and adhesive (4) covering a first portion of the opposite side of the inner layer (3), wherein the adhesive (4) is a heat activated adhesive that changes color and/or is activated when the article is subjected to elevated temperatures, thereby sealing the transdermal dosage form within the article.
