Abstract: Disclosed is a method of checking the authenticity of an executable process including at least one section. The method includes, when an initial thread of the executable process is created in a suspended state, mapping from storage a copy of the executable process into a spare memory area, where it will not be executed. The method also includes comparing a header of a first section of the executable process with a header of a first section of the copy. The method further includes terminating the executable process when the header of the first section of the executable process and the header of the first section of the copy are not identical.

Abstract: The present invention facilitates efficient and effective utilization of unified virtual addresses across multiple components. In one embodiment, the presented new approach or solution uses Operating System (OS) allocation on the central processing unit (CPU) combined with graphics processing unit (GPU) driver mappings to provide a unified virtual address (VA) across both GPU and CPU. The new approach helps ensure that a GPU VA pointer does not collide with a CPU pointer provided by OS CPU allocation (e.g., like one returned by “malloc” C runtime API, etc.).

Abstract: A software development environment (SDE) and a method of compiling integrated source code. One embodiment of the SDE includes: (1) a parser configured to partition an integrated source code into a host code partition and a device code partition, the host code partition including a reference to a device variable, (2) a translator configured to: (2a) embed device machine code, compiled based on the device code partition, into a modified host code, (2b) define a pointer in the modified host code configured to be initialized, upon execution of the integrated source code, to a memory address allocated to the device variable, and (2c) replace the reference with a dereference to the pointer, and (3) a host compiler configured to employ a host library to compile the modified host code.

Abstract: A method for bleeding at least one part of a hydraulic brake system of a vehicle, wherein the brake system includes a brake circuit whose pressure can be selectively increased by a pump. The increased pressure is applied by the pump to the part of the brake system to be bled for a specified period of time without opening bleed valves.

Abstract: Optical devices are disclosed consisting of optical chips (planar lightwave circuits) which have optically symmetric or matching designs and properties and optical components which create asymmetry in the optical devices. The devices find application in detection in coherent and non-coherent optical communications systems.

Abstract: Systems, methods and media are provided for dynamically creating/updating an activation context at runtime. One method includes receiving a request to create a component object, the request including a component identification of the requested component. The method also includes accessing a type library associated with each of multiple executable files. The type library includes an identification of each executable file and library content. The method further includes updating a manifest at runtime by enumerating the library content of each executable file and adding to the manifest the identification and the enumerated library content. The method also includes creating an activation context based on the updated manifest and determining using the component identification whether the activation context includes the requested component.

Abstract: A technique for ensuring that multiple producer threads may simultaneously write entries in a shared queue and one or more consumers may read valid data from the shared queue. Writing of the shared queue by the multiple producer threads may occur in parallel and the one or more consumer threads may read the shared queue while the producer threads write the shared queue. A “wait-free” mechanism allows any producer thread that writes a shared queue to advance an inner pointer that is used by a consumer thread to read valid data from the shared queue. The inner pointer indicates the most recent valid entry. An output pointer is advanced with an atomic operation to indicate a next entry or portion of memory in the shared queue that is available for allocation. The shared queue may be implemented as a circular buffer.

Abstract: A method of tracking software application downloads over the internet in which clicking on a web advertisement for a software application causes a user's device web browser to link to a tracking server which creates a unique identifier which is stored by the user's device browser, and also on the tracking server together with an indication of the web page including the advertisement. The user's device web browser then downloads the desired software application which includes executable code which, upon first execution, suspends the downloaded application and starts the browser, directing it to the tracking server and sending the unique identifier to the tracking server together with identification of the device and downloaded software application. The tracking server then uses the unique identifier to correlate the information on the downloaded application with the information originally stored at the time of clicking on the web advertisement.

Abstract: A tangible computer-readable storage device storing computer-executable program instructions that generate a user interface for displaying workflow information associated with a tissue specimen in a pathology laboratory. The program instructions may be configured to perform a method including displaying a virtual laboratory component representing a physical pathology laboratory having one or more laboratory stations for processing the tissue specimen, wherein the tissue specimen is processed by the one or more laboratory stations according to a workflow, and displaying a specimen indicator that indicates a current specimen state based on a current relationship of the tissue specimen to the workflow.

Abstract: A process for the production of a liquid detergent composition comprising the steps of: providing an aqueous solution free of perfumes through a main stream; providing a second solution comprising at least one perfume and at least one material selected from the group consisting of surfactants, organic solvents, carboxylic acids, and mixtures thereof, through a first side stream, wherein the ratio of said perfume to said at least one material is from 0.05 to 0.5; providing at least a third solution comprising at least one aesthetic component and/or finishing component, through at least one second side stream; and mixing the solutions to provide the liquid detergent composition. The second solution is mixed with the aqueous solution at a first confluence region of said main and first side streams and the at least third solution is mixed therewith at, at least one, second confluence region, said at least one second confluence region being downstream said first confluence region.

Abstract: One embodiment of the present invention sets forth a technique for emitting coherent output from multiple threads for the printf( ) function. Additionally, parallel (not divergent) execution of the threads for the printf( ) function is maintained when possible to improve run-time performance. Processing of the printf( ) function is separated into two tasks, gathering of the per thread data and formatting the gathered data according to the formatting codes for display. The threads emit a coherent stream of contiguous segments, where each segment includes the format string for the printf( ) function and the gathered data for a thread. The coherent stream is written by the threads and read by a display processor. The display processor executes a single thread to format the gathered data according to the format string for display.
