Software development tool for embedded computer systems

The invention concerns a software development tool for embedded computer systems, and is based on a repository of configurable, pre-programmed software components, together with associated tools for user selection and configuration of the components and a code generator for extracting relevant source code based on the configuration settings. Each software component, called embedded system infrastructure component (ESIC), is a self-contained object comprising a modular code base and associated configuration structure related to an infrastructure function in a hardware-independent, non-operating-system software infrastructure for an embedded computer system. For each ESIC, the configuration tool enables user configuration of the infrastructure function based on the configuration structure of the ESIC to match the requirements of the target application. For each ESIC, the code generator utilizes the configuration settings to extract source code for the infrastructure as a subset of the modular code base. This approach provides fast, efficient and flexible development of embedded system software infrastructures.

Pulse transmitting non-linear junction detector

InactiveUS6163259AHigh and effective peak power levelCost-effective and convenient to useBurglar alarm by hand-portable articles removalDetection using electromagnetic wavesData displayTransmitted power
A non-linear junction detector designed for counter surveillance measures achieves superior performance by transmitting a series of pulses and receiving harmonics of the transmitted pulse signals that are re-radiated by a non-linear junction such as would be found in an eavesdropping device containing a semiconductor. The transmit power of the series of pulses is varied and the amplitudes of the harmonics received at the different power levels are compared to determine the type of non-linear junction detected. The received harmonic signals are demodulated to create signals having a frequency in the audible range of human ears. The demodulated signals are broadcast so that an operator of the non-linear junction detector can audibly distinguish between the noise responses produced by the different types of non-linear junctions. The harmonic signals are analyzed to determine if the harmonic, signals correspond to signals produced by a known type of non-linear junction device such as a video camera or tape recorder. Data generated by the non-linear junction detector is displayed to an operator of the detector and may be stored for later analysis.

Through-the-wall frequency stepped imaging system utilizing near field multiple antenna positions, clutter rejection and corrections for frequency dependent wall effects

Lower resolution and clutter-prone two-tone CW radars can have the displayed images dramatically improved by three techniques involved in the subject invention. The three techniques involved are the stepping of each of the multiple radars for readings at multiple frequencies, weighting the results to compensate for wall-induced distortions and differential image processing. In one embodiment, weights for each frequency counteract the distortion produced by particular wall. For differential image processing, temporal snapshots of the images are subtracted one from the other such that the result is only due to moving objects, thus to provide a dramatic display of the presence and position of moving individuals behind a wall.

Safety syringe needle device with interchangeable and retractable needle platform

The syringe includes a barrel, a plunger, and an adapter for mounting the needle in the distal end of the barrel. The adapter includes a protrusion projecting away from the needle end and into the barrel defining an annular space between the barrel and the protrusion. The plunger and protrusion have complementary surfaces whereby the plunger may grip the adapter for removal of the adapter into the interior of the barrel after use. These complementary surfaces afford initial resistance to further axial movement of the plunger toward the adapter, signalling the user that further axial pressure will permanently lock the plunger and adapter to one another whereby, upon application of full axial pressure on the plunger, the complementary surfaces of the plunger and adapter permanently lock to one another to enable joint unitary movement of the plunger and adapter together with the needle carried by the adapter into the barrel. The adapter includes vent passages communicating between the central passage through the adapter and the annular space whereby air can be vented from the barrel after receiving fluid within the barrel and prior to injection. Thus, the syringe may be oriented in a vertical position needle end uppermost with the vent passages forming the most superior portion of the barrel interior whereby air may be vented.

Parallel approach to XML parsing

A language for semi-structured documents, XML has emerged as the core of the web services architecture, and is playing crucial roles in messaging systems, databases, and document processing. However, the processing of XML documents has a reputation for poor performance, and a number of optimizations have been developed to address this performance problem from different perspectives, none of which have been entirely satisfactory. Parallel XML parsing leverages the growing prevalence of multicore architectures in all sectors of the computer market, and yields significant performance improvements. The design consists of an initial preparsing phase to determine the structure of the XML document (or other data document), followed by a full, parallel parse. The results of the preparsing phase are used to help partition the XML document for data parallel processing. The parallel parsing phase is, for example, a modification of the libxml2 XML parser, which demonstrates that the approach applies to real-world, production quality parsers. Empirical study shows the parallel XML parsing algorithm can improve the XML parsing performance significantly and scales well.
