The present invention provides a mobile application ecosystem comprising a mobile application development kit and store, both of which are implemented as web-based services such that creation, testing, and distribution of mobile applications, as well as discovery, investigation, and delivery of same, can all be performed using a standard web browser. The mobile application development kit offers common capabilities across all target mobile device brand and brand groups, allowing the same application construct to work unmodified on all, while building the application in a manner that is native to each, thereby avoiding any requirement to embed a separate common runtime or virtual machine on every mobile device.

The present invention relates to a data processing apparatus and method for compiling application code. The data processing apparatus comprises a processor, and a compiler for compiling application code to generate instructions for execution by the processor. Furthermore, a non-invasive trace unit is coupled to the processor for generating, from input signals received from the processor, trace signals indicative of the instructions being executed by the processor. The compiler is then arranged to control the compilation of the application code dependent on the trace signals. The non-invasive nature of the trace unit enables it to generate trace signals that can be used to produce profiling information for use by the compiler without altering the behaviour of the code being executed by the processor, and accordingly provides a significantly improved technique for obtaining profiling information for use in feedback driven optimisation compilation techniques.

A system and method are provided for organizing and managing a tree structure having a plurality of nodes representing physical entities, the tree structure defining a number of node locations, each node location being reached via a predetermined path from a root node of the tree structure. The method comprises the steps of associating first and second keys with each node to be included in the tree structure, the value of at least the first key being unique for each node, and then arranging the nodes within the tree structure by sorting the nodes with respect to both the first key and the second key, the sorting with respect to the first key being such that each node may be positioned within the tree structure at any node location along the path from the root node to the node location specified by the first key. By this approach, a search can be performed for a node within the tree structure based on specified criteria for both the first and second keys.

A system that continuously monitors cardiovascular health using an electrocardiography (ECG) source synchronized to an optical (PPG) source, without requiring invasive techniques or ongoing, large-scale external scanning procedures. The system includes an ECG signal source with electrodes contacting the skin, which generates a first set of information, and a watch-like device, worn on a limb such as an arm or a wrist, having a reflectance-based PPG signal source that generates a second set of information. Together with a processing module, housed within the watch-like device and configured to receive and process the first and second sets of information, from which the time differential of the heart beat pulmonary pressure wave can be calculated, continuous data related to cardiovascular health markers such as arterial stiffness can be determined. Automated heart rate calibration of the reflectance-based PPG sensor can also be achieved.

A computer system and method provide a systems for representing resource(s) in a computing system environment by creating an object to represent a resource in the computing system environment and assigning an object identifier to the object. The object identifier includes at least a simple name of the object and a home of the object. The system displays at least one representation of the object on a graphical user interface. Each representation of the object includes the simple name of the object and, if a home condition exists for that representation of the object displayed on the graphical user interface, the representation further includes the home of the object, and if a home condition does not exist for that representation of the object, the representation of the object displayed on the graphical user interface does not include the home of the object. The graphical user interface can also provide groups that are transparent and terminal in order to allow visual arrangement of resource representations without effecting those resources.
