  • Patent number: 11934809
    Abstract: Systems, apparatuses and methods may provide for developer stage technology that embeds binary code into an application binary file, wherein the binary code corresponds to vector functions and non-vector functions in statically typed source code, and generates intermediate representation (IR) data, wherein the intermediate representation data corresponds to the vector functions in the statically typed source code. Additionally, the developer stage technology embeds the IR data in the application binary file. Moreover, deployment stage technology may generate a first compilation output based on the application binary file and detect a capability change in an execution environment associated with the first compilation output. The deployment stage technology may also generate, in response to the detected capability change, a second compilation output based on the first compilation output.

  • Patent number: 11549234
    Abstract: A construction machine is provided with a control device having an operating panel with operating elements, which can assume numerous switching states/positions, a control and monitoring unit for controlling machine components via control signals signalling the switching state/position of associated operating elements, and a display/signal unit interacting with the control and monitoring unit. The control device provides first and second signal transmission paths for transmitting a first control signal signalling the switching state/position of a first operating element and a second control signal signalling the switching state/position of a second operating element, respectively. The control signals are checked for the existence of a plausibility criterion. If the plausibility criterion is not met, signal transmission over one or the other signal transmission path is deactivated, wherein the functionality of the relevant component is checked.
