  • Patent number: 11366745
    Abstract: A processor-implemented method, system, and/or computer program product determines a testing regime for program code created in a development system. A risk factor of a user of the development system is calculated based on information relating to previous activities of the user. The calculated risk factor, which describes a likelihood of the user damaging the development system, is used to determine a testing regime for testing program code.

  • Publication number: 20210273150
    Abstract: Thermoelectric devices and methods of using thermoelectric devices. A thermoelectric device includes a thermoelectric element comprised of a material having a non-zero Berry curvature. The device may operate as a Nernst generator that generates electricity in response to application of a temperature gradient to the thermoelectric element, or as an Ettingshausen cooler that pumps heat into or out of an object to be heated or cooled in response to application of a current to the thermoelectric element. In either application, the non-zero Berry curvature of the material allows the device to operate without an externally applied magnetic field.

  • Patent number: 9444766
    Abstract: Exemplary embodiments for use in a communications source network node for identifying a destination port associated with a destination network node to which a selected network link is connected. The embodiments include receiving a communications protocol packet at a destination network node via said selected network link connected to the destination port associated with the destination network node; inspecting the packet for a predetermined identifier; and if the predetermined identifier is present in said packet then outputting an indication that the identifier has been received comprising an identification of the destination port via which the packet was received. The indication is output by at least one of illumination for a pre-set period of a destination switch associated with the destination port, and by an output provided via a user interface of a network interface controller associated with the destination port.

  • Patent number: 8875048
    Abstract: A method for controlling a graphical user interface (GUI) comprises preparing a window for displaying at an intended display location in a window display operation. The location of GUI control elements of the window at the intended display location and the location of a graphical cursor are identified. GUI control element location and the graphical cursor location are compared. The window display operation is modified if the two coincide, for example by moving the window display location so that they do not coincide.

  • Patent number: 8326737
    Abstract: A method, executed in a computer system, for opening an electronic market for trading of a security is described. The method includes receiving by the computer system eligible orders and quotes for the security traded in the electronic market and disseminating an order imbalance indicator indicative of predicted trading characteristics of the security at the open of trading. The method also includes determining by the computer system a price or prices at which the maximum shares would be executed and determining which price would minimize any imbalance of eligible orders and executing at least some of the eligible orders at the determined opening price.
