  • Patent number: 10360004
    Abstract: A system, method and computer program product to refine an original complex CFG into a simpler CFG showing interesting paths and reducing interfering paths with dynamic input for the state of program. The method receives/encodes dynamic user input in the form of annotations which encodes user's special interests or knowledge of the program at run time, e.g., some assumptions of any variables appeared, which can be equations of variable and value or relationships between variables. The method then simplifies all the branching points in a generated AST (Abstract Syntax Tree) whenever possible by querying a SMT (Satisfiability Modulo Theories) solver with branching condition and the user annotations and by evaluating immediate values of expressions or eliminate unreachable parts in the CFG. Finally, the method generates a simplified CFG by simplified AST. This can assist a programmer to understand the code and facilitates correlating different basic blocks under a same scenario.

  • Patent number: 9321907
    Abstract: Described is a method for preparation of stable fatty alcohol emulsion, wherein, fatty acid esters are introduced into an antifoaming agent emulsion system, and an anionic surfactant is added in the late stage of emulsification process in order to further improve the stability of the emulsion. The anionic surfactant is absorbed to the surface of fatty alcohol particles to make the fatty alcohol emulsion more stable under the action of ionic mutual repulsion. The prepared fatty alcohol emulsion has favorable foam elimination and suppression performance in the paper making procedure, and is stable during storage.
