Abstract: Various embodiments of systems and methods for portable device inventory tracking are described herein. In various embodiments, a mother device scans a vicinity to register and track one or more satellite devices. During registration process, the mother device assigns an owner identifier value and an item identifier value to the satellite device and a user can save which satellite device to register. One or more rules can be configured to determine when a reachability request is to be sent to the one or more satellite devices. A method of an embodiment ensures that if a satellite device does not respond to the reachability request, an alert message can be generated on the mother device. The alert message can be prioritized and can consist of a log entry with detailed information about the alert or a time stamp and location of the last reachability request acknowledgement sent from the satellite device.

In an example embodiment of a method, the method comprises performing an allocation trace of program execution and a heap dump of memory used by the program, identifying potentially leaking data structures, identifying objects in the allocation trace associated with the potentially leaking data structures based on unique object identifiers, and identifying locations in the program code where the objects were created.

Abstract: Implementations of the present disclosure provide for testing an application, and include loading a testing tool by a client that is in communication with an application server that executes the application, introducing probe code into a routine by a first component of the testing tool, the routine being called during execution of the application, and transmitting a request to the application using a second component of the testing tool. An elapsed time of an execution of the routine is determined based on the probe code, and a response is generated from the application server based on the request. A response time is determined based on the request and the response, and performance statistics are calculated based on the elapsed time and the response time.

Abstract: Systems and techniques for testing machine-readable instructions. In one aspect, a method includes identifying a subroutine in a set of machine-readable instructions that can request a service from a service provider, modifying the identified subroutine to convey a description of a service request to a recorder, and storing the modified subroutine so that the modified subroutine is accessed during subsequent data processing activities and the description of the service request is conveyed to the recorder in response to a request for the service from the service provider during the data processing activities.

Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to a system and method for enhancing network details using network monitoring scripts. In some implementations, a method includes receiving a request to execute a plurality of transactions with an application of a server to evaluate one or more services using an executed LoadRunner script. In response to the service request, the plurality of transactions are automatically executed with the application using the LoadRunner script populated with values of variables transmitted between the application and a client during at least one transaction previously executed with the client. Values of the variables transmitted between the application and the executed LoadRunner script are determined during execution of the plurality of transactions.

Abstract: Method, system and computer program product for delta-handling. A server stores a page-document that comprises at least one component. The page-document is translated into a browser-document that is displayed by a client. The server receives a request from the client resulting in an update of a specific component of the page-document with an application-delta. The specific component has a writer-function. The server generates a browser-delta by applying the writer-function to the application-delta. The server sends the browser-delta to the client for updating the browser-document on the client.

Abstract: Establishing an electronic collaboration area includes receiving from an application a collaboration area request that identifies a collaboration area template structure, receiving one or more collaboration area parameters relating to the collaboration area template structure, and establishing a collaboration area having content that is a function of the collaboration area template structure and the received one or more collaboration area parameters, the collaboration area being accessible to a plurality of collaboration area participants.

Abstract: A system and a device are provided for influencing the driving behavior of a vehicle by way of first and second closed-loop controls.

Abstract: A method and system are disclosed for automatically updating individual conditions associated with a pending conditional financial transaction. As the price of a financial instrument varies, a pending conditional financial transaction may be issued to cause the financial instrument to be bought or sold whenever its price satisfies certain specified conditions. In the field of common stock transactions, the disclosed method automatically updates a pending conditional sell order, called a stop loss order, upon the occurrence of several conditions, such as when the current stop loss order has expired, when the current price of one share of the stock has risen a predetermined percentage above the current stop loss value, or when the total value of all of the shares of the stock has increased beyond a predetermined percentage limit. When a stop loss order is updated, a new stop loss value is calculated based upon the current price and a percentage leeway in the price.

Abstract: A system and method for building a client application in a client-server network are disclosed. One system includes an HTML file that is requested from a server. An infrastructure script file is requested from the server based on a reference in the header section of the HTML file, and an infrastructure class instance is created. In the body section of the HTML file, the infrastructure class instance creates component instances based on one or more calls in the HTML file. To create the component instances, the infrastructure class instance first loads the component class script files from the server, and creates and links the component classes based on the component class scripts. Component instances are then created based on the linked component classes to thereby form the application.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus, including computer program products, for purging an item from a cache based on the expiration of a period of time and having an associated process to generate an item purged from the cache. A program stores a first item in a cache with an indication of a process to generate the first item, schedules a validity period for the first item, and purges the first item from the cache when the validity period has expired. The validity period may be optimized to be less than a period of time after which the first item would be promoted from a first generation of the cache to a second generation of the cache and invalid objects in the first generation of the cache are freed from memory more frequently than invalid objects in the second generation of the cache.

Abstract: In a method, a steeringwheel torque for the steering wheel of a motor vehicle is determined. In this context, a steering angle for steered wheels is predefined by the driver by means of the steering wheel. A steering torque which represents the forces on the vehicle axle acts on the steering wheel. A desired manual torque (M_soll) is determined here using at least one axle model. The desired manual torque is then superimposed on the actual steeringwheel torque (M_ist).

Abstract: Methods and apparatus, including computer program products, for an interface that generates a report including a series of load test results. An interface can generate such a report that includes a series of load test results by initiating load testing of a first and second application during a first and second test run, and initiating combining of test results of the first and second test runs. The report can individually characterize the test results as members of a series of test runs. Load testing and combining of test results can be initiated at a single interface.
