Abstract: A system and method for dynamically switching power supply in a dual battery system to minimize unbalanced wear levels in the primary and secondary batteries. If the operating temperature of the primary battery reaches a reliability temperature threshold but the operating temperature of the secondary battery is less than the reliability temperature threshold, the controller switches a primary battery indicator to designate the secondary battery as the primary battery. If the operating temperature of the primary battery reaches a pre-shutdown temperature but the operating temperature of the secondary battery is less than the pre-shutdown temperature, the controller switches a primary battery indicator to designate the secondary battery as the primary battery. If a difference between the wear levels of the batteries exceeds a wear level difference threshold, the controller switches a primary battery indicator to designate the secondary battery as the primary battery.

Abstract: Identifying and reporting potential data inconsistencies and/or potential data contentions based on historic debugging traces. Based on replay of a thread, some implementations observe an influx of a value to a memory cell, and determine whether the value of the memory cell observed from the influx is inconsistent with a prior value of the memory cell as known by the thread. If so, these implementations can initiate an indication of a data inconsistency. Based on replay of a plurality of threads, other implementations identify a memory cell that was accessed by a first thread while a thread synchronization mechanism was active on the first thread. Then, if there was another access to the memory cell by a second thread without use of the thread synchronization mechanism, these implementations might initiate an indication of a potential data contention.

Abstract: A web browser, editor, and server cooperate to enable visual debugging of hypertext markup language (HTML) code. The editor loads an HTML source file and displays it for interactive editing. The web server generates a web page from the source file and at the same time generates a page representation that is provided to the editor. The browser receives the web page from the web server and generates a document object model (DOM) to display a view of the HTML page. The editor takes snapshots of the HTML source file in correspondence with edits thereto. The snapshots are compared to find a snapshot difference, which is correlated with the page representation. The page representation is updated by the editor. Based on the updated page representation, the editor communicates with the browser to update the DOM. The updated DOM is rendered by the browser without reloading the web page.

Abstract: Performing reverse execution debugging of an application. The method includes identifying a snapshot of application state for an application in an application framework. The method further includes emulating execution of the application, using bytecode, in a forward direction from the snapshot to an end point, causing generation of historical execution state at various points along the emulation of the application. The method further includes collecting the historical execution state. The method further includes using the collected historical execution state, emulating reverse execution of the application by substituting collected historical execution state, when needed, to restore previous state needed as a result of emulation of reverse execution of the application.

Abstract: The present approach improves the query performance of a database in a manner that is transparent to a user. In one aspect, this approach creates separate partition tables that are not directly accessible to a user of the database. A client-facing aspect of the database is a logical model which may correspond to a single, main table with which the user interacts. Thus, queries or operations may be generated on the client side in the context of the logical model. A database or query layer can then, transparent to the user, translate the user generated requests into query language that addresses the proper partitions to generate a result set or otherwise perform a database operation.

Abstract: A resealable closure for a container in which package integrity is indicated by a structure which connects the closure to a remaining portion of the container which must be broken in order to gain access to the contents of the container for a first time. The package integrity feature, in one form, includes a structure associated with the closure, wherein upon opening the closure for a first time, the structure stretches, increasing a length of the structure until the structure eventually breaks, leaving one or both residual ends of the broken structure rippled or curved upward from the remainder of the container. In one alternative form, the structure is associated with a pull tab of the sealing panel, which comprises the closure, whereby either the structure must be broken first, prior to pulling back the sealing panel, or while pulling back the sealing panel for a first time, the structure breaks, prior to gaining access to the contents therein.
