Patent number: 10831475Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: April 9, 2019Date of Patent: November 10, 2020Assignee: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Andrew Hicks, Miles C.

Patent number: 10634514Abstract: The present general inventive concept relates to methods and systems to select and display information on an avionics display screen. The systems and methods allow for the selection and display of information using knobs to highlight and select the desired information for display, eliminating the need for a cursor function. The systems and methods also provide for multiple pages and/or multiple windows or “tiles” within these pages and/or windows simultaneously on a single screen of a display, with each window, page, and/or tile being fully controlled independently when selected. The present general inventive concept also relates to systems and methods to provide multiple cues on an electronic display system altitude tape to a pilot in advance and impending approach to a predefined altitude. The present general inventive concept also relates to systems and methods to employ variable resolution topographical data based on display range for an avionics navigation display.Type: GrantFiled: February 2, 2016Date of Patent: April 28, 2020Assignee: Aspen Avionics, Inc.Inventors: Peter Lyons, Constantinos (Gus) Kyriakos, William (Bill) Brodegard, Penny Heinz, David Berlin

Patent number: 9508217Abstract: A system for conducting gaming includes at least one gaming machine communicating with an award server. Optionally, the gaming machine communicates with the award server via a network server. A game is conducted at the gaming machine. A determination is made whether to issue an award from the award server. In an optional embodiment, the determination is random; in another optional embodiment, the determination is based on the outcome of the game. The award is issued from the award server, at least in part, based on data communicated between the gaming machine and the award server.Type: GrantFiled: July 28, 2015Date of Patent: November 29, 2016Assignee: KONAMI GAMING, INC.Inventors: Jason Mayeroff, Peter Lyons

Patent number: 9113858Abstract: Devices and systems are described for treating intraluminal locations such as in a patient's lung. The device has an elongated shaft with an inner lumen, preferably defined by an inner tubular member, formed of heat resistant polymeric materials such as polyimide. The device also has an outer surface formed of heat resistant material. High temperature vapor is directed through the inner lumen into the intraluminal location to treat tissue at and distal to the location. An enlarged or enlargeable member, such as a balloon, is provided on a distal portion of the shaft to prevent proximal flow of the high temperature vapor upon discharge from the device.Type: GrantFiled: June 24, 2011Date of Patent: August 25, 2015Assignees: Uptake Medical Corp.Inventors: Robert Barry, Dean Corcoran, Brian Cran, Michael Hoey, Sheldon Lee, Peter Lyons
