A computer readable medium includes executable instructions to analyze program instructions for security vulnerabilities. The executable instructions convert diverse program instruction formats to a common format. A system model is derived from the common format. A static analysis is performed on the system model to identify security vulnerabilities. Security vulnerabilities are then reported.

A method of detecting pirated software includes receiving a request for a software update by a client computer and providing to the client computer a test to be performed. The test is performed on the client computer against the client software application. The client computer may be denied a software update as a result of the test finding an illegitimate copy of the client software. The invention may be practiced in a network environment where a server transfers a test program for a client to execute upon request of a software update. The test performs an integrity check and denies the request for a software update if the client software is found to be illegitimate.

An electronic device (500) comprising means (510) for identifying a motion pattern in a motion of the device, and means (510) for eliminating the effect of the motion pattern from a control motion employed for controlling the device. The identification unit (510) eliminates the effect of an identified motion pattern from the control motion by comparing the motion information measured by the measurement unit (508) with the control motion stored in the memory (504).

Described is a mechanism by which application programs (or plug-ins) and an auxiliary service adjust the output and / or data available for output on an auxiliary device based on changes detected in the current context of the auxiliary display. Context sensors detect and report changes in context, whereby some action is taken with respect to what information is displayed or can be displayed on the auxiliary display device. Examples of context data that can change include the physical location of the display, detected movement or motion data, presence of a particular user or others, power state, network connectivity status, privacy status and so forth. The auxiliary device can have context as to its position relative to the main display. Information sensitivity levels may be used to specify whether an application program's data can be displayed, based on the perceived sensitivity of the information and the user's current context.

A system and method for a media processor separates the functions of topology creation and maintenance from the functions of processing data through a topology. The system includes a control layer including a topology generating element to generate a topology describing a set of input multimedia streams, one or more sources for the input multimedia streams, a sequence of operations to perform on the multimedia data, and a set of output multimedia streams, and a media processor to govern the passing of the multimedia data as described in the topology and govern the performance of the sequence of multimedia operations on the multimedia data to create the set of output multimedia streams. The core layer includes the input media streams, the sources for the input multimedia streams, one or more transforms to operate on the multimedia data, stream sinks, and media sinks to provide the set of output multimedia streams.

As manufacturers of very fast and powerful commodity processors continue to improve the capabilities of their products, it has become practical to emulate the proprietary hardware and operating systems of powerful older computers on platforms built using commodity processors such that the manufacturers of the older computers can provide new systems which allow their customers to continue to use their highly-regarded proprietary legacy software on state-of-the-art new computer systems by emulating the older computer in software that runs on the new systems. In an example of the subject invention, a 64-bit Cobol Virtual Machine instruction provides the capability of adding to or improving the performance of legacy 36-bit Cobol code. Legacy Cobol instructions can be selectively diverted, in the host CPU, to a 64 bit Virtual Machine Implementation. The output legacy and new Cobol code is compiled in a dedicated implementation of the Cobol compiler, and the output of the special purpose compiler is emulated in a special purpose software emulator, separate from the main software emulator that handles the normal 36-bit stream of legacy code.

A processor includes N-bit registers and a decode unit to receive a multiple register memory access instruction. The multiple register memory access instruction is to indicate a memory location and a register. The processor includes a memory access unit coupled with the decode unit and with the N-bit registers. The memory access unit is to perform a multiple register memory access operation in response to the multiple register memory access instruction. The operation is to involve N-bit data, in each of the N-bit registers comprising the indicated register. The operation is also to involve different corresponding N-bit portions of an M×N-bit line of memory corresponding to the indicated memory location. A total number of bits of the N-bit data in the N-bit registers to be involved in the multiple register memory access operation is to amount to at least half of the M×N-bits of the line of memory.

The present invention provides a system and related techniques generate an update to control programming, such as firmware, to embed in an electronic document and transmit to a printer, facsimile or other output device. Compatible printers or other output devices according to embodiments of the invention may contain an intermediate language interpreter which receives, interprets and executes the embedded update in the electronic document. That update may include for example an update to the printer's firmware, downloaded forms, fonts or other updates or enhancements which may for instance stored into EPROM or other memory in the output device. Because the resource update is encapsulated in an intermediate language object which may be universally interpreted by compatible printers, facsimile machines and other devices, updates may be delivered with a need to generate specialized code or follow specialized procedures for specific manufacturer's products.

Disclosed herein is a method for controlling interrupts in an inverter. If a control unit checks that an interrupt is issued in main software while an inverter is operating, the control unit analyzes the type of the interrupt. The interrupt is converted into an interrupt ID sorted by functionality. If the interrupt ID is a previously registered interrupt ID, an interrupt function corresponding to the registered interrupt ID is executed.

Systems, methods, and machine-readable media are disclosed for patching software based on seeded product information. In one embodiment, patching software can comprise receiving a patch deliverable that can include a software patch and information identifying a target software package. The information identifying the target software package can be read and a determination can be made as to whether the information indicates a known software package. In response to determining the information indicates a known software package, the patch can be installed. In response to determining the information does not indicate a known software package options identifying software packages for which the patch may be used can be presented to a user and a selection of one of the packages can be received. The selected software package can be seeded with the information identifying the target software package and the patch can be installed for the selected software product.
