20090228873 | DISPLAY BREAKPOINTING BASED ON USER INTERFACE EVENTS - Techniques for monitoring breakpoints. An application having a breakpoint to be executed on a target device is received. The application is executed on the target device. A screen image corresponding to a display on the target device is captured in response to reaching the breakpoint while executing the application. The screen image is stored in a memory of the target device. | 2009-09-10 |
20090228875 | Method and System for Reducing Disk Allocation by Profiling Symbol Usage - A system and method for executing an application, identifying a plurality of memory access operations performed by the application, logging a file and a memory address range within the file corresponding to the plurality of memory access operations and removing, from the file, a symbol that is not within the memory address range. | 2009-09-10 |
20090228934 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR CHANGING ALLOCATION CHARTS IN A SATELLITE BROADCASTING SYSTEM - A broadcast system and method of changing allocations therein include a plurality of broadcast system components and a broadcast operation channel management system having a database. The broadcast operation channel management system generates a first allocation chart for the broadcast system with a first effective time and communicates at least a portion of the first allocation chart to the plurality of broadcast system components. The plurality of broadcast system components determines a local time and when the local time is equal to or greater than the effective time, operates with the first allocation chart. The broadcast operation channel management system generates a second allocation chart for the broadcast system with a second effective time. The broadcast operation channel management system communicates at least a portion of the second allocation chart to the plurality of broadcast system components. The plurality of broadcast system components operates with the second allocation chart when the local time is equal to or greater than the second effective time. | 2009-09-10 |
20090229011 | DISEASE-RESISTANT PLANTS AND METHOD OF CONSTRUCTING THE SAME - It is the object of the present invention to provide disease-resistant plants which have been transformed to cause an effective defense reaction, and methods for producing the same. The present invention provides expression cassettes comprising a promoter capable of promoting a constitutive, inducible, or organ- or phase-specific gene expression, and a gene, under the control of said promoter, encoding an elicitor protein. | 2009-09-10 |
