摘要： A distributed digital data processing system includes a plurality of nodes which communicate over a network. A node maintains one or more objects, each of which may be a file, that is, an addressable unit in the system, such as a program, database, text file, or the like, or a directory which may contain one or more files or other directories. One node maintains a naming service which associates each object in the system with one or more protocol towers. Each protocol tower identifies the object name and a series of entries each identifying a name for each of the protocol layers, along with the communications parameters and address information, to be used in communicating with the object. When a node requires access to an object maintained by another node, it first retrieves from the naming service the protocol towers for the object. The node also maintains a tower identifying the names of each of the protocols over which it can communicate. The node then compares the protocol names in the retrieved protocol towers with the protocol names over which it can communicate. If the protocol names in a retrieved tower match the protocol names in the node's tower, the node uses the communications parameters and address information in future communications with the object. If the node is unable to identify a retrieved protocol tower which matches its supported tower or towers, it is unable to communicate with the object.

摘要： A method is disclosed for constructing a backup route from a source node around an adjacent component. The source node derives a first set of nodes reachable from it without traversing the adjacent component and a second set of nodes from which a neighbor node of adjacent components is reachable without traversing the adjacent component. The source node then constructs a backup route via an intermediate node in the intersection of the first and second sets.

摘要： A framework for performing graphics animation and compositing operations has a layer tree for interfacing with the application and a render tree for interfacing with a render engine. Layers in the layer tree can be content, windows, views, video, images, text, media, or any other type of object for a user interface of an application. The application commits change to the state of the layers of the layer tree. The application does not need to include explicit code for animating the changes to the layers. Instead, an animation is determined for animating the change in state. In determining the animation, the framework can define a set of predetermined animations based on motion, visibility, and transition. The determined animation is explicitly applied to the affected layers in the render tree. A render engine renders from the render tree into a frame buffer for display on the computer system. Those portions of the render tree that have changed relative to prior versions can be tracked to improve resource management.

摘要： The application programming interface operates in an environment with user interface software interacting with multiple software applications or processes in order to synchronize animations associated with multiple views or windows of a display of a device. The method for synchronizing the animations includes setting attributes of views independently with each view being associated with a process. The method further includes transferring a synchronization call to synchronize animations for the multiple views of the display. In one embodiment, the synchronization call includes the identification and the number of processes that are requesting animation. The method further includes transferring a synchronization confirmation message when a synchronization flag is enabled. The method further includes updating the attributes of the views from a first state to a second state independently. The method further includes transferring a start animation call to draw the requested animations when both processes have updated attributes.

摘要： A firearm maintenance system wherein a count for the number of times the firearm is fired is kept and stored in memory that is resident on the firearm. Also installed on the firearm are a shot counter device, including an inertia switch, a communication card, and an extended life battery. An epoxy resin encases the memory, shot counter device, communication card and battery to protect them from detrimental environmental effects. The life of various component parts of the weapon are tracked against the shot count of the weapon and replaced at appropriate intervals. Weapon maintenance is performed by transferring the weapon's data from the weapon's memory to an operator laptop computer wherein an algorithm analyzes the data and advises the operator to take necessary maintenance steps, such as replacing parts that have reached the end of their useful life. After performing such necessary maintenance, the operator makes a maintenance data submission that updates the memory to reflect the maintenance data steps taken. Data is transferred between the weapon and laptop computer via infrared communication such that no electrical connection to the weapon mounted device is necessary to communicate data into or out of the device.
