Modern enterprises have multiple dissimilar data stores. Collectively, the enterprise data stores store a set of enterprise data objects, typically in multiple dissimilar formats. An object-oriented heterogeneous data store interface (HDSI) for interacting with such enterprise data stores and data objects is described. The HDSI may include a query component, a data store component and a provider interface that specifies a query behavior with a query component parameter. For each type of data store, there may be a provider plug-in to the HDSI. Each provider plug-in may include provider components that conform to the provider interface. The HDSI may further include data store object components corresponding to data objects stored in the data stores. A data store object design GUI may be utilized to build graphical representations of data objects. A data store object source code generator may generate object-oriented programming language source code for each data store object component.

A system and method for performing optical inspection are provided. At least one “invariant feature” of an object design is determined, and such invariant feature is used in inspecting objects having the corresponding design. An “invariant feature” is a feature that is invariant certain transformations occurring in a captured image of an object under inspection, such as brightness, color, and/or other transformations in the captured image. Accordingly, an inspection template may comprise information corresponding to at least one pre-selected invariant feature of an object's design. In certain embodiments, the template is a shape description of a feature that provides an intrinsic invariance to a specified set of basic transformations. Accordingly, the amount of pixel values stored in a template may be minimized, which minimizes the number of pixel comparisons made between a captured image of the object under inspection and the inspection template during the inspection analysis.

A method for running a computer program on computing hardware, in particular on a microprocessor. The computer program includes multiple program objects designed as tasks, for example. Transient and permanent errors are detected during the running of the computer program on the computing hardware. To be able to handle these transient errors constructively when they occur in a computer system in such a way that the functionality and function reliability of the computer system are restored within the shortest possible error tolerance time, at least one program object that has already been sent for execution is set into a defined state on detection of an error and is restarted from this state. The program object is a runtime object of the computer program, for example, also known as a task. One or more tasks that are still being executed or have already been executed on occurrence of an error are restarted and run again.
