  • Publication number: 20200379881
    Abstract: Aspects include receiving a request in a system for code that uses a code package to be tested. Sources are scraped to find a matching code package that uses the code package to be tested. The matching code package is retrieved and stored in a database. The matching code package is assembled into a test bucket and the test bucket is provided for the code package to be tested.

  • Patent number: 10831475
    Abstract: Assessing portability of source code based on predictions from a learning model trained with historical outputs from a portability analyzer. A request is received as input to assess portability of source code from a source environment to at least one target environment. The learning model is applied to the source code to predict a level of portability of the source code to the at least one target environment. Results from a portability analyzer that are based on the level of portability predicted by the learning model include a confidence measure associated with one or more portions of the source code indicating the ease of portability of the one or more portions of the source code to each of the at least one target environments.

  • Publication number: 20200164796
    Abstract: A method for visual hazard avoidance of a road hazard is provided. The visual hazard avoidance is implemented by an on-road projection system, which is integrated into a vehicle. The on-road projection system includes a projector and a computing device. The on-road projection system implements the method while the vehicle is in motion. The computing device causes the projector to generate a projection on a road as the vehicle is approaching the road hazard. Note that the projection identifies a tire path of the vehicle. The computing device also causes the projector to terminate the projection on the road once the road hazard in passed.

  • Publication number: 20200103274
    Abstract: Light obstruction can be detected using a light obstruction sensor. In one example implementation according to aspects of the present disclosure, a computer-implemented method includes receiving, by a light obstruction sensor, light being emitted by a light source, a light level being associated with the light, and the light source and the light obstruction sensor being disposed in a light assembly. The method further includes determining, by a processing device, whether the light level exceeds a first threshold. The method further includes, responsive to determining that the light level exceeds the first threshold, determining that the light being emitted by the light source is at least partially impaired by an object. The method further includes validating, by the processing device, the determination that the light source is at least partially impaired by the object to confirm whether the light source is at least partially impaired by the object.

  • Publication number: 20190266077
    Abstract: Memory management in a computer system is described. Memory is allocated within page-aligned real memory storage to requesting processes. During a normal operation mode, pages of the real memory storage are allocated in accordance with a buddy allocation algorithm. A triggering condition is detected. Responsive to the detection, at least one contiguous page-sized or smaller memory segment that violates the buddy allocation algorithm is allocated to a requesting process.

  • Publication number: 20190105839
    Abstract: A method of removing a printed item from a 3D printer. The method may include loading a print bed into a 3D printer, where a bottom surface of the print bed may be removably attached to a print stage. The printed item may be printed by a tool head of the 3D printer atop the print bed. The print bed together with the printed item may be unloaded from the 3D printer upon completion of the printing, where unloading the print bed may include detaching the print bed from the print stage. The printed item may then be released from the print bed.

  • Patent number: 9712112
    Abstract: Embodiments are directed to a method of mitigating voltage noise events. The method includes detecting the presence of a voltage noise event at the integrated circuit device. Thereafter, one or more local clock buffers (LCBs) is selected for dampening. A type of dampening is selected for the LCBs. Finally, the dampening is applied to the LCB while the voltage noise event is occurring.
