Assignee:

International Classification:

US Classification:

Abstract:

It may be advantageous to facilitate communication between two types of source code. For example, a wrapper may be generated to translate between managed source code and native source code. Current techniques may translate a single type of native source code into a managed binary wrapper. However, as provided herein, a managed source code wrapper may be generated based upon a variety of native source code formats. A native binary descriptor describing a set of native code may be received. A provider may be selected based upon the format of the set of native code. The provider may be executed upon the native binary descriptor to produce a common native binary description. A managed source code wrapper may be generated based upon the common native binary description. Because the managed source code wrapper may be in a textual source code format, a developer may easily maintain and/or customize the wrapper.

Abstract:

An authoring tool for CSS retains original user syntax and generates CSS markup that minimizes a total number of properties in the markup. A directed graph is generated from the original user markup. Nodes in the graph can be collapsed and expanded to convert between longhand and shorthand properties. User input updating property values can result in the generation of compact CSS code that retains syntactical features of the original user syntax.

International Classification:

G06F 3/048

US Classification:

715763, 715762

Abstract:

A screen design user interface that may operate in an interactive mode and a design mode. The user interface includes a screen presentation portion for presenting an application screen under design, and a mode control for selecting between the interactive mode and the design mode. When the user interface is in interactive mode, the user interface actually allows interaction with one or more application element of a screen displayed in the screen presentation portion such that interaction with the corresponding application element causes execution of a corresponding function and thus a corresponding change in state of the screen. When the user interface is in design mode, the user interface supports design of the application screen by recognizing design gestures, but disables the application elements.

International Classification:

G06F 17/00

US Classification:

715234

Abstract:

A method includes parsing a text source document to construct a document node tree such that the document node tree includes text offsets indicating the location of the text within the text source document corresponding to each node of the document node tree. The method includes constructing, from the document node tree, a Document Object Model (DOM) and a view node tree that represents the DOM. The constructing of the view node tree includes mapping the view node tree to the document node tree. The method includes providing a running representation of the DOM such that DOM elements of the DOM are linked to the text within the text source document corresponding to the DOM elements via the view node tree and the document node tree.

H04L 12/58

Abstract:

Methods, systems, apparatuses, and computer program products are provided for extracting an entity value from a sentence. An embedding set that may include one or more sentence embeddings is generated for at least part of a first sentence that is tagged to associate a first named entity in the sentence with an entity type. A plurality of candidate embeddings is also generated for at least part of a second sentence. The one or more sentence embeddings in the embedding set may be compared with each of the plurality of candidate embeddings, and a match score may be assigned to each comparison to generate a match score set. A particular match score of the match score set may be identified that exceeds a similarity threshold, and an entity value of the entity type may be extracted from the second sentence associated with the identified match score.

US Classification:

705 41

Abstract:

Technologies are described herein for making the value in an online-stored value account accessible through a prepaid debit card. A payment services provider may offer general-purpose reloadable (“GPR”) cards to customers that are co-managed by the payment services provider and a traditional prepaid program manager. An integration is implemented between the payment services provider system hosting the online stored-value account and the program manager system such that the balance of the funds maintained for the online stored-value account may be used for purchases made using the GPR card.

US Classification:

718106

Abstract:

Generation of a dependency graph for code that includes code portions such as resources or functions or both. For some or all of the nodes, the dependency is calculated by determining that the given node, a depending node, depends on an affecting node. The dependency is recorded so as to be associated with the node. Furthermore, the dependency calculation method is recorded so as to be associated with the dependency. The code may perhaps include portions within two different domains, in which the mechanism for calculating dependencies may differ. In some cases, the dependency graph may be constructed in stages, and perhaps additional properties may be associated with the node, and metadata of the properties may also be recorded.
