Patent number: 8863084Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer-readable media for determining whether dependencies of configuration files have changed such that the compilation strategy should be recomputed. Local build checksums are computed for individual configuration files. The local build checksums are computed by sorting input paths to the configuration files plus data indicating whether the path refers to a file or a directory and a checksum computed on the configuration file itself. The transitive closure of local build checksums are then used to compute a global build checksum: the local build checksums are sorted in order to compute the global build checksum. If the global build checksum is different from a previously computed global build checksum, then the compilation strategy should be recomputed, since this is a signal that the compilation strategy may not be valid anymore, e.g. because some dependencies in the configuration files have changed.Type: GrantFiled: October 28, 2011Date of Patent: October 14, 2014Assignee: Google Inc.Inventors: Michael Forster, Ulf Adams, Steffi Scherzinger, Christian Karl Kemper

Patent number: 8782595Abstract: A build system and method, including receiving attribute rules and new rules, wherein the attribute rules correspond to one or more predefined default actions of the build system, wherein the new rules specify new actions that are to be added to the build system. A graph is generated to include files specified as attributes in the attributes rules and the one or more predefined default actions that correspond to the attributes rules. A request to enable at least one of the new rules is received. Action listener rules are received, wherein the action listener rules indicate default actions and corresponding new rules of the one or more new rules. The graph is checked for default actions that are indicated in the action listener rules. Additional actions are added to the graph for new rules based on the default actions indicated in the action listener rules.Type: GrantFiled: October 6, 2011Date of Patent: July 15, 2014Assignee: GOOGLE Inc.Inventors: Jeffrey van Gogh, Ronald Aaron Braunstein, Stephen F.

Patent number: 8347978Abstract: A driving tool having a driver, a power source, a sensor and a controller. The power source selectively provides an input to the driver to cause the driver to translate along an axis. The sensor senses a condition in the power source that is indicative of a level of kinetic energy of an element in the power source and generates a sensor signal in response thereto. The controller is coupled to the power source and the sensor and is responsive to the sensor signal for deactivating the power source to inhibit the power source from providing the input to the driver when the level of kinetic energy of the element in the power source is below a predetermined threshold. A method for operating a driving tool is also provided.Type: GrantFiled: March 31, 2005Date of Patent: January 8, 2013Assignee: Black & Decker Inc.Inventors: Michael Forster, Craig A.

Patent number: 7322506Abstract: A tool with a driver, which is translatable along a driver axis, and a motor assembly having an electric motor, a flywheel, a roller and an actuator. The electric motor is selectively operable for driving the flywheel. The actuator is selectively operable for translating the roller such that the roller drives the driver against the flywheel to permit energy to be transmitted from the flywheel to the driver. The electric motor is selected to substantially minimize energy losses associated with bringing a mechanical inertial of the motor assembly to a predetermined rotational speed while substantially minimizing an amount of time that is needed to bring the mechanical inertia to the predetermined rotational speed.Type: GrantFiled: March 31, 2005Date of Patent: January 29, 2008Assignee: Black & Decker Inc.Inventor: Michael Forster
