Filed:

Apr 14, 2004

Appl. No.:

10/824282

Inventors:

Mark L. Roth - Brooklyn NY, US

Assignee:

Sun Microsystems, Inc. - Santa Clara CA

International Classification:

G06F 9/44

US Classification:

717123

Abstract:

Various embodiments of a system and method for generating software documentation are disclosed. A software documentation generator may input a variety of information sources. In one embodiment, these information sources may include various types of files such as application source code files, tag library files, tag library descriptors (TLD), library source code, web services description language (WSDL) files, configuration files, defect reports, and text files. The software documentation generator may analyze each source to determine its type and use this information to extract documentation data from the source according to the format of the data included in that source. The software documentation generator may reformat the documentation data extracted from each source into a uniform format and aggregate the uniformly formatted data into a uniformly formatted aggregate input document. The software documentation generator may transform this document into one or more sets of software documentation in a specified format.

Mark Roth - Brooklyn NY, US

Assignee:

Sun Microsystems, Inc. - Santa Clara CA

International Classification:

G06F 9/44

US Classification:

717106, 717140, 709246

Abstract:

A method, computer program product, and system for providing launchable application source code are presented. A determination is made regarding which target platforms a launchable application executable will be run on. Once the platforms have been determined, a cross platform executable is generated using the launchable application source code. Platform specific executables are also generated for each selected platform. The cross platform executable is then combined with the platform specific executable for the platform to provide the platform independent launchable application. The platform specific executable is launched by an Operating System as part of a system service, such as a screensaver, and calls the cross platform executable which is executed on a virtual machine running on the platform.

Assignee:

Monarch Marking Systems, Inc. - Dayton OH

International Classification:

G06K 1906
G06K 1900

US Classification:

395114

Abstract:

A barcode printer system is shown having a host processing system in communication with a barcode printer. The host processing system converts multi-level user input printer commands into a data stream in the printer control language of the barcode printer for transmission to the printer. The host processing system stores a number of printer command function routines, each of which is associated with a number of multi-level user input printer commands. Each user input printer command includes format and data information in a single command. A low level user input printer command, however, may include only a user readable word and data, the host processing system automatically utilizing stored default values for the format information when converting the command. A higher level user input printer command may include an abbreviation designating the command and values for one or more format variables as well as data. The multi-level user commands are not fixed in length so as to be user friendly for low level users but flexible for higher level users.

International Classification:

G06K 1500

US Classification:

395117

Abstract:

A hand held labeler is programmable to operate in accordance with a sequence of commands forming an application program that is downloaded to the labeler and stored in a random access memory. Each command is associated with a command routine selected from a set of command routines that is stored in a read only memory. The commands of the application program and associated command routines are executed by a microprocessor of the labeler to perform flexible data collection, data manipulation and label printing operations.

US Classification:

347171

Abstract:

There is disclosed a thermal printer having a print head and a pressure roller cooperable with a platen roll, with one manually operable member for substantially simultaneously separating the print head and the pressure roll for threading the printer and another member for separating the print head widely from the platen roll for cleaning purposes.

International Classification:

G06K 1500

US Classification:

395109

Abstract:

A printer having a number of optional features or operations is reconfigurable by software alone. The printer includes an EPROM that stores the software routines defining all of the optional operations of the printer. An EEPROM stores a jump table identifying each optional operation software routine as enabled or disabled. The information stored in the jump table for each enabled routine identifies the location at which the routine is stored in the EPROM; whereas, the information stored for each disabled routine includes a disable flag. The printer includes an interface which allows a new jump table to be downloaded from a personal computer into the EEPROM of the printer to enable disabled routines, to disable enabled routines, and to replace disabled routines by downloading a new routine into a RAM to thereby reconfigure the printer. A master jump table and sub-jump tables are provided to increase the efficiency of the reconfiguring operation. Further, several checks are implemented by the printer and the personal computer during the reconfiguration operation to insure that only the correct printer is reconfigured and that information is stored at the proper location in the printer.
