  • Patent number: 11822460
    Abstract: Computerized systems and methods are provided to intelligently and dynamically generate at least a first set of tests to be executed on one or more changes made to one or more applications to determine whether the one or more changes were successful. Data is received regarding one or more changes and a failure probability value for each change is determined. A first plurality of fields are generated for completion by a first user. Upon receiving responses for the first plurality of fields, a first customized code is generated and based upon first customized code, a first set of tests to be executed on the second version of the first application is generated. Additionally, the first set of tests are assigned labels, stored for future use, and executed on the second version of the first application.

  • Patent number: 10936471
    Abstract: Computerized systems and methods are provided to intelligently and dynamically test one or more changes made to one or more applications. Requirements are received for generating one or more changes to a first application and a second version of the first application is generated with one or more changes. A failure probability value for each change is determined and a first set of tests to be executed on the one or more changes based on the failure probability value are identified and then executed on the second version of the first application. If the second version of the first application passes the first set of tests, it moves on to being tested by a second set of tests which are also based on the determined failure probability values. If the second version of the first application does not pass the first set of tests, the defects are identified and the second version is regenerated to cure the defects.

  • Publication number: 20070108384
    Abstract: An organic material can be used in a modified strain gauge for IR transduction, resulting in an organic IR sensor. Infrared radiation incident on the organic material modulates a displacement of the material in order to detect the presence and intensity of IR radiation. This innovative design doesn't require cooling, and is sensitive to 9 and 3 ?m—wavelengths that are emitted by mammals and forest fires, respectively. In addition, a photomechanical polymer can be used in a transistor based on a thin-film transistor (TFT), also resulting in an IR sensor. Through careful synthesis of the polymers, the photomechanical response of the transistor can be tailored to certain IR bands for detection purposes.

  • Patent number: 5514249
    Abstract: Paper is made by adding nonionic or anionic polymeric retention aid to a suspension that contains a high electrolyte content, shearing the flocculated suspension, aggregating the sheared suspension by adding anionic particulate material (especially bentonite), and draining the suspension.
