  • Software merging utility
    Patent number: 8078589
    Abstract: A method and system merging a file across multiple versions of the file is provided. A file check-in request is identified. A merge candidate associated with the file is automatically identified. A view associated with the identified merge candidate is automatically identified. The file is merged with the merge candidate in the view, resulting in a merge result.
    Type: Grant

  • Apparatus and method for debugging/modifying ROM-based software systems employing and extensible interpreter
    Patent number: 5740351
    Abstract: Debugging and/or modifying of ROM-based embedded software systems is realized by advantageously employing an extensible interpreter and inserting requests for "Customizable Call-Outs" (CCOs) throughout the ROM-based embedded software. Then, the ROM-based embedded software system can easily be directly enhanced, i.e., extended, at run time to provide virtually limitless new functionality. Advantages of the invention are that the ROM-based embedded system software does not need to be rebuilt or reloaded, and the functionality of the debugging/modifying software is decided at the time of detecting a problem and/or of providing a modification, not before. By employing the extensible interpreter, the extension to the ROM-based embedded software is implemented, i.e., written and loaded, in the system directly, without the need for or use of an additional external computer platform or compiler.
