Filed:

Oct 21, 2008

Appl. No.:

12/288509

Inventors:

Michael V. Smith - Austin TX, US
Jason Cohen - Austin TX, US
Gerard L. Cullen - Austin TX, US

Assignee:

Geist Manufacturing, Inc. - Lincoln NE

International Classification:

H02J 9/00

US Classification:

307 64

Abstract:

A method for high-reliability power switching may comprise: (a) transferring possession of a token to first control logic controlling a first triode for alternating current (TRIAC), the TRIAC operably coupled to a first power source; (b) applying a voltage to a gate of the first TRIAC according to the possession of the token; (c) detecting a violation of a power source parameter; (d) transferring possession of the token to second control logic controlling a second TRIAC, the second TRIAC operably coupled to a second power source; (e) removing the voltage from the gate of the first TRIAC; and (f) applying a voltage to a gate of the second TRIAC.

Inventors:

Jason A. Cohen - Austin TX, US

International Classification:

G06F 9/44

US Classification:

717131

Abstract:

A method, system, and program for static analysis of source code by simulation of source code execution. The invention performs a simulation of subroutine source code execution while tracking the associated data values in the specific data formation of intervals during the simulation. When the data flow reaches a predetermined event, the data flow can bifurcate to simulate multiple data flow paths while also identifying these as points of interest. These points of interest are recorded during the simulation and relayed to a code analyst as a point of interest along with the results of the simulation.
