| 20100088546 | STATISTICAL DEBUGGING USING PATHS AND ADAPTIVE PROFILING - The method executes the application and if there are no errors from the execution of the application, the method ends. If errors exist, the errors are collected from the execution of the application in an error report. Labeled application paths are created by adding a unique label to individual application paths where the application paths are individual loops and individual functions in the application. An analysis is created of the labeled application paths by executing the application with the labeled paths, reviewing the error report for data related to the labels and if an error is sufficiently related to application paths with labels, storing the path that created the errors in a report. If an error is not sufficient related to the application path with labels, the method is repeated by the creating the analysis again by substituting additional application paths for the application paths. | 04-08-2010 |

| 20090276763 | Bounding Resource Consumption Using Abstract Interpretation - Bounding resource consumption of code using abstract interpretation includes a static analysis to estimate a code's resource consumption in terms of units of resources utilized at any point during execution, expressed as a function of its scalar inputs. An instrumentation mechanism and an abstract interpretation mechanism are employed to compute bounds on the code resource consumption. The instrumentation mechanism includes incorporating one or more counter variables in the source code to count the number of loop iterations and recursive procedure call invocations. The abstract interpretation mechanism includes computing invariants on the instrumented counter variables and scalar program variables to obtain bounds on the number of loop iterations and recursive procedure call invocations, which are then composed together to obtain resource bounds for the entire program. | 11-05-2009 |
| 20090319608 | AUTOMATED TASK CENTERED COLLABORATION - An automated task centered collaboration technique is described that significantly lowers the technological entry barrier for the development and deployment of a broad class of collaborative applications, which are termed Task Centered Collaboration (TCC) applications. TCC applications facilitate the processing of a large number of work items, or tasks, by people working independently or in small, synchronously collaborating groups. The technique also provides a mechanism for the study of computer mediated communication and human-computer interactions for this class of applications. The technique creates an abstraction applicable to the broad class of TCC applications, which enables the factoring out of significant portions of the application into a common infrastructure. It provides a programming model that enables a developer to focus on the User Interface and logic associated with operations on a single task, without being exposed to issues such as security, authentication, binding users to activities, synchronization, concurrency and persisting data. | 12-24-2009 |
| 20090327809 | DOMAIN-SPECIFIC GUIDANCE SERVICE FOR SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT - During software development, both before and after release, information may be collected and stored that may provide insight to developers as a generalized service. For example, data from past debugging sessions, source code in various repositories, bug repositories, discussion groups, and various documents may provide relevant information for software developers to fix current problems when this information is coherently matched with the problem. Using various sources, a system may mine the stored data to give the current developer information related to past code development, and reveal why the code changed throughout previous development. Using sophisticated analyses to identify similar code patterns across multiple large software projects, discovering patterns in normal and abnormal uses of particular software interfaces, and employing other mining techniques, a developer may find domain-specific information to facilitate ongoing software development. | 12-31-2009 |
| 20100088684 | Calculating Resource Bounds Of Programs Manipulating Recursive Data Structures And Collections - Bounding resource consumption of code that processes recursive data structures and collections includes making use of quantitative functions (based on user input) that are associated with a tuple of data-structures and whose semantics is specified by describing the effect of various data-structure methods on the relevant quantitative functions. Counter variables are incorporated into source code to count loop iterations (and number of recursive procedure call invocations). Relevant quantitative functions are incorporated into the source code to allow computation of invariants (and hence bounds) on the incorporated counter variables in terms of the quantitative functions. | 04-08-2010 |

| 20110214426 | TURBINE SYSTEM INCLUDING VALVE FOR LEAK OFF LINE FOR CONTROLLING SEAL STEAM FLOW - A turbine system includes a valve coupled to a leak off line from a leak packing of a first turbine, the valve controlling a first steam flow used to maintain a constant self-sustaining sealing pressure to a second turbine across numerous loading conditions. A related method is also provided. | 09-08-2011 |
| 20110247333 | DOUBLE FLOW LOW-PRESSURE STEAM TURBINE - A double flow low-pressure (LP) steam turbine with an LP section that can be engaged and disengaged from a drive train is provided, as are methods for its use. In one embodiment, the invention provides a steam turbine comprising: a high pressure (HP) section; an intermediate pressure (IP) section adjacent the HP section; a first low pressure (LP) section; a second LP section; a crossover pipe connecting the IP section to the first LP section and the second LP section; a drive train extending through the HP section, the IP section, the first LP section, and the second LP section; a device for engaging and disengaging the second LP section from the drive train; a valve for alternately opening and closing a portion of the crossover pipe connecting the IP section to the second LP section; and at least one extraction port for extracting a quantity of steam from at least one of the following: the crossover pipe or an exhaust of the IP section. | 10-13-2011 |
| 20120027582 | FLOATING PACKING RING ASSEMBLY - A packing ring assembly for use between a rotating and a stationary component in a turbomachine is disclosed, the assembly including an arcuate packing ring casing, an arcuate packing ring segment positioned at least partially within the packing ring casing, and a resistance component configured to allow movement of the packing ring segment in an axial direction, relative to the rotating component, between a first and second position in response to a pressure condition. In one embodiment, the resistance component allows movement when the pressure condition comprises approximately 30% of the turbomachine load. Also disclosed is an altered surface topography of the rotating component to accommodate variable length teeth extending from the packing ring segment, such that when the packing ring segment is in the first position, a clearance between the packing ring segment and the rotating component is larger than when the packing ring segment is in the second position. | 02-02-2012 |
