  • Patent number: 8713515
    Abstract: A method and a system for automatically synchronizing the design features of disparate but conceptually corresponding code elements (e.g., image representations) within disparate but potentially composable code components (e.g., frameworks and their payloads). For example, an element that is a field within a structure that points to an abstract image BP within a skeletal framework component may conceptually correspond to a simple element that is a concrete image B within some intended framework payload. In the composition of the framework and the computational payload, the concrete image B must acquire the design features of the abstract image BP (i.e., a pointer within a structure field) to be properly synchronized with the design of the framework. This invention automates differencing of composite types to compute transformations that can add design features to B to convert it to BP thereby synchronizing the design features of the framework and its payload.

When the user determines that the NLA* and the NLA are the same or have insignificant difference, then verification can be performed using the VLA. The results of the verification can then be back annotated on the NLA. In one fully-automatic embodiment, in addition to comparing the NLA and the NLA*, the VLA and a VLA* (generated from the NLA*) can be compared, thereby providing yet another test of accuracy for the user during verification.

  • Patent number: 8677333
    Abstract: A virtual machine supports execution of compiler-generated code and provides an execution environment for code that may correspond to any of several different event-driven or message-driven programming models (such as state machines, rules for complex event processing and event correlation, monitoring contexts, processes, and mediations). The programming models may be used in business monitoring and/or business integration environments. A programming language is defined for execution using the virtual machine, which contains a relatively small number of instructions and which is preferably generated by a compiler from a higher-level, event-driven or message-driven model.

  • Patent number: 8667464
    Abstract: An approach which may be regarded as a company advanced programming interface (CAPI) applicable, for instance, to boiler displays and remote man-machine interfaces. CAPI may use a product software structure combined with a personal computer (PC) or web based program capable of creating an embedded microcontroller program without a need for programming capabilities or a program recompile. Implementation may be done at both the product microcontroller level and the PC or web based program to be used by an end customer to “customize” its product. The present approach may partially move development and final tuning processes to an original equipment manufacturers (OEM). Modifications of the product may be done without a need for specific and expensive software development tools for embedded devices such as a compiler and a debugger, and hardware tools for simulation and analysis, and other like items. The present approach may also provide immediate response to simple OEM requirements.
