摘要： Described herein are APIs that enable generating identifier information for a user interface element of interest within a user interface of a computer program based on a description of a hierarchical element path comprising parent elements that the user interface element inherits from. Unlike more fragile identifiers, an element path identifier persists across instances of the computer program, across different computers, across different builds of the program etc. Also described herein, are APIs that enable searching for a location of a user interface element of interest in a target program using the element path identifier for the user interface. The element path identifier may be represented in a string data type or a user defined data type. APIs for converting between a user-defined data type and a string type and vice versa are also provided. The element path identifier may be composed from common identifier information of component elements of an element path. Such identifiers may include class names of user interface elements, module names of application programs in the element path, and sibling order information. Other information could be added to further reduce ambiguity. For instance, runtime identifiers (e.g., process identifiers) may be added to distinguish between user interface elements of two different instances of the same program. The presence of strongly named branch portions within which elements are guaranteed to be uniquely identified may be leveraged to persistently identify user interface elements by adding the unique identifiers of the named branch elements to the element path identifier.

摘要翻译： 这里描述的是基于包括用户界面元素从其继承的父元素的分层元素路径的描述，使得能够在计算机程序的用户界面内生成感兴趣的用户界面元素的标识符信息的API。 与更脆弱的标识符不同，元件路径标识符跨越不同计算机跨越不同程序的构建而在计算机程序的实例之间保持等。此处还描述了能够在一个或多个内容中搜索感兴趣的用户界面元素的位置的API 目标程序使用用户界面的元素路径标识符。 元素路径标识符可以以字符串数据类型或用户定义的数据类型来表示。 还提供了用于在用户定义的数据类型和字符串类型之间进行转换的API，反之亦然。 元素路径标识符可以由元素路径的组成元素的公共标识符信息组成。 这样的标识符可以包括用户界面元素的类名，元素路径中的应用程序的模块名称以及同级顺序信息。 可以添加其他信息以进一步减少歧义。 例如，可以添加运行时标识符（例如，进程标识符）以区分同一程序的两个不同实例的用户界面元素。 可以利用其中保证元素被唯一标识的强命名的分支部分的存在，以通过将命名的分支元素的唯一标识符添加到元素路径标识符来持久地识别用户界面元素。

摘要： Identifier information is generated for a user interface element of interest within a user interface of a computer program based on a description of a hierarchical element path comprising, e.g., some combination of parent elements that the user interface element inherits from, class names of user interface elements, module names of application programs in the element path, and sibling order information. Process identifiers may also be added to distinguish between user interface elements of two different process instances of the same program. Unlike more fragile identifiers, such an element path identifier persists across instances of the computer program, across different computers, across different builds of the program, etc. Converting between a user-defined data type and a string type and vice versa also is provided.

摘要： A method for making oriented thin films of a ternary intermetallic compound and such films having a tetragonal structure and generally uniaxial magnetic, optical, electronic, and mechanical properties, as well as a generally lower Curie temperature than oriented binary intermetallic films. The steps of the method involve selecting a substrate material for biasing the orientation of the ternary intermetallic compound and exhibiting no chemical reactiveness to the ternary intermetallic compound. Preferably, such substrate is a single crystal, such as MgO or Al.sub.2 O.sub.3, or an amorphous material such as pure SiO.sub.2, amorphous carbon, or glass. In a second step the substrate is heated to a temperature above 450.degree. C. and then, a first metal, a second metal, and a third metal are simultaneously deposited on the substrate material. The first metal and second metal are selected from among metals pairs including CoNi, CoFe, FeNi, and the third metal is selected from the group of metals consisting of Pd and Pt. The thin film formed is a ternary intermetallic compound exhibiting an L1.sub.0 crystal structure and the desired uniaxial properties. The method of the invention allows one to accurately control the relative amounts of the three metals.

摘要： A wastewater treatment plant and related method comprise a treatment stage including a biological-process substage configured for growing unicellular organisms adapted to reduce contaminants in the wastewater which are dissolved, including at least one of organic matter and nitrogenous matter, by digestion thereof, and which are adapted to floc after digestion and a floc-removal substage downstream from the biological-process substage, relative to the flow of wastewater, and configured for substantially removing the unicellular organisms that have flocked. The treatment stage is configured to form majority and minority flows of treated wastewater, and the minority flow is configured to be recycled upstream of the biological-process treatment substage. The plant includes a heat transfer assembly configured for transferring heat from the majority flow of treated wastewater to the minority flow thereof to increase temperature of wastewater to be treated.
