Abstract: Disclosed are a heating method and a refrigerating and freezing apparatus (200) having a heating unit (100). The heating method comprises: controlling a heating unit (100) to operate to heat an object to be processed (150); if a heating suspension condition is met, recording a current heating parameter of the heating unit (100), and controlling the heating unit (100) to stop operating; and if a heating continuation condition is met, controlling the heating unit (100) to continue operating according to the recorded heating parameter. By means of recording the most recent heating parameter before the heating unit (100) stops heating, heating continues according to the recorded heating parameter after heating is resumed, thereby simplifying a control process, preventing a re-determined heating parameter from causing an object to be processed (150) to be excessively heated, shortening a heating time, and reducing unnecessary energy consumption.

Abstract: Techniques to automatically build a language dependency graph for localizable resources are described. A technique may include storing resources from a file in a translation database with data that indicates the language that the resource is in, the entity that created that version of the resource, and a dependency, if any, on a different language version of the resource. Subsequent translations of a resource may also be stored in the translation database in a manner that groups the translated version(s) of a resource to the original resource, and also stores the language of the resource, the entity that translated it, and the dependency to the language from which the resource was translated. A language dependency graph may be generated from the translation database for a file, where the graph reflects the languages of translation and dependency relationships among the translations. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
