  • Patent number: 11893368
    Abstract: Methods and systems are described for removing branches from a computer program. The system receives code for a computer program, with the code including a number of branches. Each branch is part of a branching path and includes a jump instruction. The system executes the code, and upon encountering a branching path at runtime, the system proceeds with a number of steps. First, the system computes the result of the branch, then prefetches independent instructions outside of the branch to be executed. The system then executes one or more of the prefetched independent instructions and removes an if statement within the jump instruction of the branch at the computed result of the branching path. The system then executes the jump instruction of the branch at the computed result of the branching path.

  • Patent number: 11880680
    Abstract: An industrial integrated development environment (IDE) supports collaborative tools that allow multiple designers and programmers to remotely submit design input to the same automation system project in parallel while maintaining project consistency. The industrial IDE also permits localized development of system projects, and provides an infrastructure for intelligently brokering between conflicting edits submitted to common portions of the system project. Project edits submitted to the IDE system, both applied and unapplied, are stored as edit records, allowing edits to be selectively undone or applied either manually or as part of a rollback to a milestone version.

  • Patent number: 11868932
    Abstract: In an approach for real-time opportunity discovery for productivity enhancement of a production process, a processor extracts a set of features from time series data, through autoencoding using a neural network, based on non-control variables for the time series data. A processor identifies one or more operational modes based on the extracted features including a dimensional reduction with a representation learning from the time series data. A processor identifies a neighborhood of a current operational state based on the extracted features. A processor compares the current operational state to historical operational states based on the time series data at the same operational mode. A processor discovers an operational opportunity based on the comparison of the current operational state to the historical operational states using the neighborhood. A processor identifies control variables in the same mode which variables are relevant to the current operational state.

    Abstract: Some embodiments automatically assess source code merge conflict resolution candidates and then display a recommendation explaining strengths and weaknesses of each candidate. Thus informed, a developer can avoid adopting changes which produce merged code that does not build or does not pass tests, and avoid merged code that departs from a pattern followed in previous changes to a code base. Candidate conflict resolution assessments depend on objective criteria such as merged code buildability, operational accuracy, edit pattern consistency, or conflict resolution generator confidence. Candidates may be automatically ranked, prioritized, or rejected outright by an embodiment. Work item descriptions and candidate provenance may be displayed to aid developer selection of an optimal merge candidate.

  • Patent number: 11823667
    Abstract: Techniques for modifying rules for completing requests using a conversational interface are disclosed. A conversational interface receives a user request to perform a particular function. A system extracts semantic content from the request and obtains contextual metadata associated with the request. Using the semantic content and contextual metadata, the system generates a data set of attribute values. The system determines whether the data set matches a data set of required data attributes associated with the request. If the provided data set is different than the required data set, the system determines whether to modify a set of rules associated with the request. The set of rules specifies which attribute values are required to complete the request. When the system modifies the rules associated with the request, the system also determines whether to apply the rule modification to subsequent requests by the same user and other users.

  • Patent number: 11709671
    Abstract: The correct clusters of operating system (OS) components to package for hydration to client devices is learned through analyzing telemetry data of numerous end devices. The telemetry data captures snapshots of the OS components that were used or loaded by the end devices during runs of different applications. An OS component service mines this telemetry data and compares the frequency in which pairs of OS components are used by the end devices together during the different applications runs. Using on these frequencies, the OS components are filtered in a relationship graph and an clustering algorithm is applied to determine whether the OS components are interdependent (meaning used together) or independent (meaning not used together). Interdependent OS components are packaged together into a hydration package and may be transmitted to client computing devices requesting any of their constituent OS components.

  • Patent number: 11650813
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method, a device, a system and/or a manufacture of secure and efficient product development through subscription to an event associated with a restricted design dependency tree. In one embodiment, a method for secure development of design data includes receiving a request for retrieval of a root version of a dependency tree. A dependency reference from the root version is followed to a version of a sub-component. The version of the sub-component is determined to have a positive authorization status for read access through a database association with a unique identifier of a user and/or a group profile. A restricted tree data comprising the unique identifier of the root version and the version of the sub-component is returned. The user and/or the group profile is then subscribed to receive a message on a client device generated in response to an event associated with the restricted design dependency tree.

  • Patent number: 11645245
    Abstract: In an approach to discovering software in a container, one or more computer processors identify one or more sets of filesystem structure information for an active container. The one or more computer processors create a virtual filesystem based on the one or more identified sets of filesystem structure information. The one or more computer processors discover one or more sets of software by comparing a set of catalog entries to the created virtual filesystem. The one or more computer processors report the one or more sets of discovered software.

  • Patent number: 11620145
    Abstract: Containerised computing processes are generated by an orchestration processor interpreting user commands and user profile data to build a deployment specification specifying functions to be run by a containerised process, using a shell script run on a host virtualisation container. External events such as security threats and computing resource overloads can be used to generate the virtualised process, allowing vulnerability detection, and apply countermeasures such as deployment or migration of containers during attacks to lesser prone infrastructure, and allows the orchestration of non-container tools to provide security and resilience.
