  • DEVELOPMENT-TIME AWARENESS OF A PRODUCTION DEPENDENCY INJECTION ENVIRONMENT
    Publication number: 20200012590
    Abstract: Development-time awareness of production environment dependency injection configuration in a software development or test environment. In a software development or test environment, metadata is retrieved relating to configuration data of injection sources and target injection sites in applications of a configured target production server or a representation of a configured target production server. A configuration data structure is formed that cross-references target injection sites and injectable sources determined from the configuration data, the configuration data structure being associated with the production server and available to the software development or test environment. The configuration data structure is referenced to carry out dependency injection related features.

  • Automated Load Balancer Discovery
    Publication number: 20190349283
    Abstract: Computer-implemented systems and methods automatically identify computers that act as load balancers on a digital communications network, using data collected from one or more computers on that network. Once a load balancer has been identified, the communications between two hosts may be connected across the identified load balancer, thereby making it possible to better analyze the behavior of hosts and applications on that network.

  • Reading comprehension apparatus
    Patent number: 10453353
    Abstract: According to some embodiments, a reading comprehension apparatus comprises a processor, an optimized reading comprehension display, and a selection tool to select text within a digitized portion of a written work. A word ranking engine ranks each word from the selected text, via the processor. A filtering engine identifies a plurality of top-ranked words within the selected text and an animation engine animates and displays each of the top-ranked words identified by the processor in a sequential manner on the optimized reading comprehension display. Furthermore, the animation engine displays a presentation of the selected text including the top-ranked words in a highlighted manner.

  • Apparatus, system, and method for displaying an image using a plate
    Patent number: 10409079
    Abstract: An apparatus (110), system (100), and method (900) for displaying an image (880). Instead of using an expensive configuration of prisms (310) such as TIR prisms (311) or RTIR prisms (312) to direct light (800) to and from a DMD (324), a plate (340) with transmissive (374), reflective (372), and/or polarization (373) characteristics is used. The plate (340) can be implemented in a wide variety of different embodiments using a wide variety of different components and configurations.

  • Method and apparatus for an optical path length extender
    Patent number: 10401639
    Abstract: A system to adjust light path length using a digital light path length modulator. The digital light path modulator includes an optical path length extender (OPLE) and a polarization modulator. The OPLE has two light paths having different path lengths, so light with a first polarization is directed through a first light path, and the light with a second polarization is directed through a second light path through the OPLE.

  • Dual path phase-locked loop circuit
    Patent number: 10389368
    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure include a dual path phase locked loop (PLL) circuit with a switched capacitor filter topology along with systems, method, devices, and other circuits related thereto. The dual path PLL circuit includes an integral path and a proportional path. Both the integral path and proportional path include a charge pump and a loop filter. The outputs of a phase frequency detector (PFD) are sent to both charge pumps. The output of the integral path charge pump is connected to a capacitor, and the voltage on capacitor is used as the integral path control voltage for a voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO). A switched capacitor network is connected to the output of the proportional path charge pump and used to generate the proportional path control voltage for the VCO. Together, the two control voltages dictate the VCO's output frequency.

  • Fast settling bias circuit
    Patent number: 10345845
    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure include systems, methods, devices, and circuits for fast settling of a bias node. Consistent with some embodiments, a bias circuit may include a successive-approximation-register-analog-to-digital converter (SAR-ADC) based settling loop configured to perform a fast settling process for a heavily loaded bias node. The SAR-ADC based loop performs a SAR-ADC process that includes measuring a reference signal to determine a number of cells in a capacitor array that are involved in a charge sharing process while simultaneously completing the settling process for the bias node.
