A method and apparatus are used in accordance with the present invention in concurrent program analysis for detecting potential race conditions such as data races in computer programs. A feature of the method and apparatus of the present invention is verifying annotations of addressable resources in a program. The present invention verifies annotations by checking if thread-local resources are indeed thread-local, and that thread-shared data spaces are not in fact thread-local. In accordance with the purpose of the invention, the method provides for detecting potential race conditions, such as data races, in a computer program. The computer program can spawn a plurality of threads that are capable of being executed concurrently. The method includes receiving a source code of the computer program. The source code includes an element annotated as either thread-local or thread-shared. The method also includes verifying the validity of the thread-local annotation if the element is annotated in the computer program as thread-local, wherein an invalid thread-local annotation may cause a race condition. The method can further include indicating a potential race condition if upon verifying the validity of the thread-local annotation it is determined that the element or a portion thereof is visible from more than one, rather than one and only one, of the plurality of threads. In further accordance with the purpose of the invention, the apparatus for concurrent program analysis includes means for receiving source code of the computer program. The source code includes an element annotated as either thread-local or thread-shared. The apparatus also includes means for type checking the source code; and means for thread-local checking located either inside or in series with the type checking means. The means for thread-local checking includes means for verifying the validity of the thread-local annotation if the element is annotated in the computer program as thread-local, where an invalid thread-local annotation may cause a race condition such as a data race. The apparatus can further include means for parsing the source code; and means for creating from the source code an abstract syntax tree. Accordingly, the present invention beneficially provides for a more effective concurrent program analysis.

Compared with the existing symbolic execution technique, the present invention can ensure the validity of the test suite, while at the same time reducing the number of the generated test cases remarkably.

The invention provides an easy to use credential management mechanism for multi-factor out-of-band multi-channel authentication process to protect user access to online portals. When opened, the client processing application generates a multi-dimensional code. The user scans the multi-dimensional code and validates the client processing application and triggers an out-of-band outbound mechanism. The portable mobile device invokes the authentication server to get authenticated. The authentication server authenticates the user based on shared secret key and is automatically allowed access to the online portal. The process of the invention includes an authentication server, a client processing application to generate an authentication vehicle or an embodiment (i.e. multi-dimensional bar code) and handle incoming requests, secret keys and a portable communication device with a smartphone application.

An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a first camera, a second camera, and a processor. The processor is configured to obtain a first image using the first camera and obtain a second image using the second camera, determine depth information corresponding to an external object, using the first image and the second image, when properties of the depth information meet a first specified condition, store the depth information in connection with the first image and the second image, and when the properties of the depth information meet a second specified condition, skip the storing of the depth information in connection with the first image and the second image.

A plurality of first measured values (x_i) obtained by respectively measuring a plurality of measuring objects in a plurality of first measuring systems and a plurality of second measured values (y_i) obtained by respectively measuring the plurality of measuring objects in a plurality of second measuring systems are prepared, and a combination of a first measured value and a second measured value corresponding to each other is obtained as a sample point (P_i) (S11).

This makes it possible to exclude errors in symbolization and associated with desire processing in transformation of measured values, and ensure validity in transformation result of measured values.

A system and a method for accessing and verifying the validity of data content stored in the cache memory on disk are proposed, which is applied in a data accessing system through the use of a master disk controller or a slave disk controller. For data accessing purposes, the master and the slave disk controllers each have a storage space in the cache memory on disk, to temporarily store and access related data. The method for accessing and verifying the validity of data content stored in the cache memory on disk includes: creating a recording area for recording access records on the disk accessed by the disk controller; reading the access record in the recording area, and determining whether the access record shows that the disk was accessed by the master controller upon power-on; wherein, if the record shows that the disk was accessed by the master disk controller, making the master disk controller access the disk with the content stored in the storage space in the cache memory of master disk controller, and, in contrast, if the record shows that the disk was accessed by the slave disk controller, after power-on, making the master disk controller treat the content stored in the storage space in the cache memory of master disk controller as invalid.

The data processor comprises: a first data collecting section which, for each sample injection, collects and records a detector output at every data sampling pitch T1; and a second data collecting section which collects and records the detector output and a monitor output indicating an analysis-associated condition at every data sampling pitch T2 over a period from the start to the end of the chromatographic analysis, wherein the data sampling pitch T1 is shorter than the data sampling pitch T2. The second data collecting section further collects and records analysis history and/or optional comments; this is effective in verifying the validity of analysis results.
