| 20120084757 | COMPUTER-READABLE, NON-TRANSITORY MEDIUM SAVING DEBUGGING SUPPORT PROGRAM, DEBUGGING SUPPORT DEVICE, AND DEBUGGING SUPPORT METHOD - A computer-readable, non-transitory medium saving a debugging support program representing a sequence of instructions, the program which is executable by a target computer to perform receiving a connection request for remotely debugging a process, of which an identifier is designated for the remote debugging, using a host computer; searching a plurality of processes activated in the target computer for the process having the designated identifier; and connecting the target computer to the host computer to enable remotely debugging the searched process having the designated identifier. | 04-05-2012 |
| 20120084620 | TRANSMISSION DEVICE AND RECEIVING DEVICE - A transmission device according to the present invention splits information bits, calculates two parity bit sequences from the split information bits, combines the parity bit sequences with information bits (encoded information bit) such that the calculated two parity bit sequences are not added to the same information bits. Then, the transmission device changes the order of the combined information, distributes each of the reordered information to levels L | 04-05-2012 |
| 20120084609 | Method and System to Extract a Navigation Model for Analysis of a Web Application - In one embodiment, a method includes automated extraction of the Page Transition Graph (PTG) model for model-based analysis of web applications. Specifically, the method includes accessing one or more JAVASERVER PAGES (JSP) files, one or more Extensible Markup Language (XML) configuration files, and one or more class files of a web application; parsing the JSP files and extracting data in the JSP files that encode user or server events supported by the event-driven application; parsing the XML configuration files and extracting data in the XML configuration files that encode definitions used by the event-driven application when deployed; parsing the class files and extracting data in the class files that encode one or more actions or one or more forms used by the event-driven application when deployed; storing the extracted data as an abstract syntax tree (AST); populating a page transition graph (PTG) of the event-driven application based on the AST; and checking the extracted PTG for navigation errors such as unreachable pages, ghost pages and undefined transitions. | 04-05-2012 |
| 20120084550 | INFORMATION PROCESSING SYSTEM AND STARTUP CONTROL METHOD - An information processing system including a control apparatus and a housing includes a device that operates under control of the control apparatus, the control apparatus includes a memory that stores operability information including plural pieces of the operability information each indicate whether an device is operable under the control of the control apparatus, and a startup controller that obtains designation information designating a piece of the operability information from the housing and reads a piece of the operability information designated by the obtained designation information, wherein the startup controller requests the housing to start up the device when the read piece of the operability information indicate that the device is operable, and excludes the device from being subject to startup control when the read piece of the operability information indicates that the device is inoperable. | 04-05-2012 |
