Abstract: A system and method may generate executable block diagrams in which at least some of the blocks run in accordance with message-based execution semantics. A message may include an input data payload that does not change over time, and the message may persist for only a determined time interval during execution of block diagram. A message-based execution engine may control execution of message-based blocks in which a source block may generate a message at a particular point in time, the message may be sent to one or more destination blocks triggering execution of those blocks, and the message may be destroyed on or after a determined time interval. Other execution domains, such as a time-based or state-based execution domain, may be provided, and the system may implement a hybrid execution model.

Abstract: A system includes a storage device configured to store a plurality of named entities collected from a plurality of sources, tokenized, and associated with a label. The system includes a tagging apparatus configured to receive textual communications, identify each of the textual communications, tokenize the textual communications, match the textual tokens with the named entities tokens stored in the storage device in order to assign the textual tokens to the labels associated with the named entity tokens, tag the textual communications based on the matching between the textual tokens and the named entity tokens in order to identify the intended meaning of each of the textual communications, and identify the intended meaning of the textual communications based on applying the tags to the textual communications. A method capable of disambiguating named entities using a common sense reasoning approach is also disclosed.

Abstract: A system and method may generate executable models having message sending objects and message receiving objects. A message may include a fixed data payload, and the message may persist for only a determined time interval of a total execution or simulation time of model. Message queues may be established for the messages, and the queues may have attributes. The model may include a state-based portion having states and transitions. States may be configured to generate and send messages, and to receive and process messages. In addition, transitions may be guarded by particular messages. The system and method also may generate standalone code, such as source code, for the model. The standalone code may include code that establishes a message passing service to support the sending and receiving of messages.

Abstract: A system and method automatically inserts pipelines into a high-level program specification. An Intermediate Representation (IR) builder creates one or more graphs or trees based on the high-level program specification. A scheduler iteratively applies a bounded scheduling algorithm to produce an execution schedule for the IR minimizing overall execution time for a given number of pipeline stages. A Hardware Description Language (HDL) code generator may utilize the pipelined, scheduled IR to generate optimized HDL code corresponding to the high-level program specification. An annotated version of the high-level program specification showing where the pipelines have been inserted may be displayed allowing additional design exploration.

Abstract: A drill bit, system and method for penetrating a material such as a mineral bearing rock or the like. The system comprises a drill bit comprising a cutting face comprising at least one cutting tool, an emitter of microwaves positioned behind the cutting face, wherein at least a portion of the microwaves are emitted in a direction away from the cutting face, and a reflector for directing the portion to the cutting face. In operation the emitted microwaves irradiate the material prior to the irradiated material being removed by the at least one cutting tool.

Abstract: A method for modeling a system as a finite state machine in a modeling environment is discussed. Embodiments receive a representation of a finite state machine model and provide an interface for incorporating a temporal operator into the finite state machine model. The temporal operator may be a Boolean function that includes at least one event parameter and defines a temporal logic condition. Embodiments may also receive a definition of a first temporal operator that defines a logic condition related to a number of occurrences of two or more different base events.

Abstract: Described herein are a method and system for analyzing the security of a computer network. According to various implementations, there is a device adapter associated with each device that has a significant impact on the security of the network (e.g., routers, switches, gateways, or “significant hosts”). The device adapter, which may be implemented as a piece of software executing remotely from the device, queries the device to determine what its security settings are (e.g., its firewall rules). The device adapter conducts the query using whichever form of communication the device requires (e.g., telnet, HTTP) and using whichever command set the device requires. Each type of device on the network has a software model associated with it. For example, there may be a router model, a switch model, a firewall model, and a gateway model. The model is made up of a series of rule sets. Each rule set includes rules that are derived from the configuration of the device (obtained by the device adapter).
