  • Patent number: 11922151
    Abstract: A single asynchronous enumerable object is generated that contains the data and methods needed to iterate through an enumerable asynchronously. The asynchronous enumerable object contains the code for traversing the enumerable one step at a time and the operations needed to suspend an iteration to await completion of an asynchronous operation and to resume the iteration upon completion of the asynchronous operation. The allocation of a single object to perform all of these tasks reduces the memory consumption needed to execute an asynchronous enumeration.

  • Patent number: 11847129
    Abstract: A cognate specification system manages and enforces digital, canonical representations of entities that are added to and in the system by creating a composite entity key (“EntityKey”) that uniquely and immutably identifies each entity within the system, and that is created based upon the attributes of the entity rather than being arbitrarily assigned. Entities may be organized into various types or cognates, each associated with distinct sets of attributes. A physical or digital referent may be added to the system as an entity by specifying attributes. In such a system, any entity, whether a physical or digital referent, a process, or other type, is uniquely and verifiably identifiable, and may be linked to or associated with other entities, allowing users of the system to produce and access specification granularity beyond traditional approaches focused on systems interoperability.

  • Patent number: 11500626
    Abstract: Methods for intelligent automatic merging of source control queue items are performed by systems and apparatuses. Project changes are submitted in build requests to a gated check-in build queue requiring successful builds to commit changes to a code repository according to source control. Multiple pending build requests in the build queue are intelligently and automatically merged into a single, pending merged request based on risk factor values associated with the build requests. For merged requests successfully built, files in the build requests are committed and the build requests are removed from the queue. Merged requests unsuccessfully built are divided into equal subsets based on updated risk factor values using information from the unsuccessful build. Successful builds of subsets allow for committing of files and removal from the build queue, while unsuccessful builds are further divided and processed until single build requests are processed to identify root cause errors.

A type checker ensures that each name identifying an expression in a namespace does not have more than one data type. Thus, for instance, the variable “chair” cannot be both an integer and a character string. A grammatical-number enforcer with access to a dictionary enforces a naming convention within the namespace that groups grammatical-number name variants by data type to reduce type errors and thus speeds up the development environment.
