20100161910 | STORED VALUE ACCESSORS IN SHARED MEMORY REGIONS - Instruction sets in computing environments may execute within one of several domains, such as a natively executing domain, an interpretively executing domain, and a debugging executing domain. These domains may store values in a shared region of memory in different ways. It may be difficult to perform operations on such values, particularly if a domain that generated a particular value cannot be identified or no longer exist, which may obstruct shared accessing of values and evaluative tasks such as stack walks. Instead, accessors may be associated with a stored value that perform various operations (such as low-level assembly instructions like Load, Store, and Compare) according to the standards of the value-generating domain, and domains may be configured to operate on the value through the accessors. This configuration may promote consistent accessing of values without having to identify or consult the value-generating domain or reconfiguring the instruction sets. | 06-24-2010 |

The IL language can be turing complete so that any computation needed to determine the state to read and write and how the information gathered is to be combined can be performed. The IL can be sent to the remote computer and can be interpreted on the remote computer. The IL can be interpreted on the remote computer using a stack based mechanism, without the need to access symbolic information on the local computer. | 11-29-2012 |
20150347269 | EMULATION-BASED EXPRESSION EVALUATION FOR DIAGNOSTIC TOOLS - Systems, methods and computer program products are described that enable a diagnostic tool, such as a debugger, to evaluate an expression based on the state of a target program process where the expression to be evaluated includes a call to a first function that exists in the target program process but where evaluation of such first function requires evaluation of a second function that does not exist in the target program process. For an expression such as this, the diagnostic tool emulates execution of the first function within a process other than the target program process, such as within the diagnostic tool process. In other embodiments, the emulation capability of the diagnostic tool is leveraged to enable a user thereof to simulate a modification of the target program process without making actual changes to the target program process. | 12-03-2015 |

20110130111 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MINIMIZING OCCUPANT INJURY DURING VEHICLE CRASH EVENTS - A method, computer program product and apparatus for minimizing occupant injury by optimizing occupant restraint properties and/or actions in real time, during pre-crash and crash phases. The restraint system uses three catalogs and a database linking these catalogs. The catalogs include a catalog of possible occupant states, a catalog of possible collision scenarios, and a catalog of potential restraint control laws. The database is an assessment of injury outcome for each possible combination of occupant state, collision scenario, and restraint control law. In addition to the catalogs, the method requires four computational components: an occupant identifier, a collision identifier, a restraint law optimizer, and a restraint controller. | 06-02-2011 |

20110047466 | Modelling relationships within an on-line connectivity universe - Enhanced presentation techniques for modeling a connectivity universe associated with a particular user or device are provided. Example embodiments provide a WorldView Display System (a “WVDS”), which automatically organizes a user's online relationships with entities, such as devices, data collections, services, and people, and provides a user interface for accessing and interacting with these entities. The WVDS automatically determines the universe of objects that the user has relationships with, automatically groups objects having similar measures of access proximity, displays a multi-dimensional representation of these groups of objects on a display device, and provides a uniform user interface for initiating an interaction with any represented object. This abstract is provided to comply with rules requiring an abstract, and it is submitted with the intention that it will not be used to interpret or limit the scope or meaning of the claims. | 02-24-2011 |
20110078262 | ELECTRONIC MAIL ASSISTED COMMUNICATIONS SYSTEM - An email-assisted communication method system that transmits emails to group members to elicit a response in return e-mails. The system receives the elicited return emails response and determines which portions of the elicited return emails are to be transmitted to which group members. The system routes the appropriate portions of the elicited return emails to such group members. | 03-31-2011 |
