  • Patent number: 11905979
    Abstract: A piston, in particular for a gear-change selector, including a piston body with a piston skirt and with a piston end face which can be pressurised with a working fluid. The piston includes a first sealing portion and a second sealing portion. The piston body and the first sealing portion have mutually complementary geometries so that they form a first vent channel. The first vent channel is arranged in a hydraulic series circuit with the second sealing portion. The second sealing portion prevents venting up to a first pressure and allows this above the first pressure. The invention furthermore concerns a gear-change selector and a gearshift for a vehicle.

  • Patent number: 9940224
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method of preparing and launching a test application on a first machine that is automatically executed on a second machine. A developer can prepare a test application on the first machine, and instead of the developer performing multiple steps to copy the test program to a second machine and set up the test environment, the method can automatically detect test environment data, and transmit the test application and the test environment data. Test environment data can include the directory of where the test program should be installed and executed. The test application can be run on the second machine and the results can be returned to the first machine where they can be displayed to the developer.

  • Patent number: 9304762
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method of automatically customizing a computer executable application, such as a test automation harness, based on currently installed modules. The functionality of the application can be split in multiple modules. At runtime, the application can automatically detect the presence or absence of a module. If a module is available, it can automatically be integrated with the application such that the functionality, such as language-level features and constructs, provided by the module is active and/or exposed. If the module is absent, the application can continue executing without the functionality provided by the module.

  • Publication number: 20140250251
    Abstract: Disclosed is a technique for an automated testing harness that transparently preserves testing state across system sessions. The testing harness can be configured to execute a script of testing instructions, one or more of which can trigger a change in a system session. Prior to performing the session change, the testing harness can save test state and suspend the test. Upon resuming the test, the test harness can overwrite the initial values with the saved state values. To enable the automated testing, the testing harness can include a launch daemon and one or more launch agents. Upon a session change, an active launch agent can notify a launch daemon of its active status. This can cause the launch daemon to resume the test and restore the test state to the saved values.
