Patent number: 11144310Abstract: A method and system for comparing at least two structured data files. A computer polls at least one network device for data files. The computer determines a structural difference between a first data file and a second data file and creates at least one patch file based on the structural difference. The computer extracts at least one span from the at least one patch file, wherein the at least one span is defined by a starting point byte and a length measured in bytes and creates an ordered listing. The computer performs a lexer operation using the at least one span as a limiting criterion to limit an output of the lexer to statements that include the at least one span.

Patent number: 8708182Abstract: A container includes a body forming an interior and having a sidewall with a distal edge portion forming an opening to the interior. A liner is disposed over the opening and includes an inner portion and an outermost radial portion disposed radially outwardly of the distal edge portion. A lid including an interior surface and at least one tab projecting inward from the interior surface is disposed over the liner and engages the body. The liner is sized to be releasably rotatably secured within the lid while the lid is initially attached to the body so that the at least one tab remains generally rotationally fixed relative to the outermost radial portion while being assembled to the body. The at least one tab is arrange to press the outermost radial portion while the lid is being removed from the body so that the outermost radial portion maintains a bent orientation.Type: GrantFiled: July 27, 2009Date of Patent: April 29, 2014Assignee: Kraft Foods Group Brands LLCInventors: Andrew T.

Patent number: 7092262Abstract: A system and method for pre-charging the DC bus of a utility connected power converter. In one embodiment, a full-wave rectifier circuit is coupled to the utility grid through an isolation transformer and circuit protector. The rectifier circuit output is connected to the DC bus of the power converter to provide a pre-charging current to the DC bus capacitors. The output from the rectifier circuit also supplies power to the control circuit power supply for the converter. When the control circuit closes the contactor of the converter system and activates the converter, the voltage across the DC bus capacitors is increased above the level of the rectified power grid voltage provided at the output of the pre-charge circuit. This reverse-biases the rectifier diodes, placing the pre-charge circuit into an inactive state. The impedance of the isolation transformer limits the in-rush current into the DC bus capacitors during the pre-charge.Type: GrantFiled: March 31, 2004Date of Patent: August 15, 2006Assignee: Capstone Turbine CorporationInventors: Michael J.

Patent number: 7065563Abstract: A method and system presents a plurality of selections to a user for updating a system configuration from the choices of: an immediate mode, a scheduled queued mode, a queued mode, and an optimized activation mode. The immediate mode activates all change requests immediately. The scheduled queued mode queues all change requests and activates the change requests at a predetermined time. The queued mode queues all change requests and activates the change requests after receiving a triggering event. The optimized activation mode analyzes the system usage to determine and optimally vary the mode among the immediate mode, the scheduled queued mode, and the queued mode.Type: GrantFiled: December 12, 2001Date of Patent: June 20, 2006Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Shah Mohammad Rezaul Islam, Mark E.
