An industrial integrated development environment (IDE) provides a development framework for designing, programming, and configuring multiple aspects of an industrial automation system using a common design environment and data model. Projects creating using embodiments of the IDE system can be built on an object-based model rather than, or in addition to, a tag-based architecture. To this end, the IDE system can support the use of automation objects that serve as building blocks for this object-based development structure. These automation objects represent corresponding physical industrial assets and have associated programmatic attributes relating to those assets, including data logging and device configuration parameters. Functional relationships between automation objects can be defined to yield object hierarchies, and object attributes can be propagated across objects up and down the hierarchy.

Methods for serialization and deserialization, an information processing program, an information processing apparatus, and a communication system that flexibly support communication conditions and reduce the size of communication data. A server device includes a serialization means configured to: describe information associated with a class of an object; sort field names according to a predetermined order; describe field values corresponding to the field names in a sorted order; and output as serialized data, and a deserialization means configured to: acquire information associated with a class from serialized data of an object; acquire field information of the class; acquire values corresponding to field values of the serialized data of the object as being arranged corresponding to the acquired field names sorted in a predetermined order; restore the values together with the acquired field names; and output as a restored object.

The present invention proposes a method for providing a broadcast content in an apparatus, the method comprising: requesting a filter code to an application running on the apparatus by using a first Application Programming Interface (API); receiving a JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) object from the application in response to the first API; storing the filter code; receiving an Extended File Delivery Table (EFDT) having a first filter code associated with a first file; and selectively downloading the first file by comparing the stored filter code with the first filter code in the EFDT.

Source code routines are generated for storage management in a storage code development management tool. A script that includes the source code routines is generated. The storage code development management tool receives indications based on an execution of an object code generated via execution of the script. The storage code development management tool modifies the source code routines based on the received indications.

A multi-characteristic remeshing system that generates remeshed 3D graphical surfaces can include a compact geometric descriptive language (“CGDL”) conversion module, one or more geometric characteristic parsing modules, and a geometric computation module. The CGDL conversion module receives an input mesh for a 3D graphical object and CGDL source text that describes target characteristics of an output mesh of the 3D graphical object. Each geometric characteristic parsing module identifies inherent geometric characteristics of the input mesh, and generates a geometric characteristic map. The geometric characteristic map includes instructions to generate the output mesh with respective target characteristics. The instruction describes a relationship of the one or more inherent geometric characteristics with the respective target characteristic. The geometric computation module generates the output mesh with the target characteristics, based on the geometric characteristic maps from the geometric characteristic parsing modules.

An improved development and deployment environment and processes for developing and deploying object-oriented web-based scan-task enabled applications, wherein web-based scan-task enabled client computers use scan task specifications and task decoders to retrieve and decode a scan tasks encapsulated on each web page requested and received from a web server supported by an application server and database server, and then perform specified actions, including the display of web controls, required by the scan task script contained within the decoded scan task, corresponding to the served web page.

Programmer input in a first programming language is received, the programmer input including i) a built-in function of the first programming language, the built-in function corresponding to generating code for remotely invoking an electronic object deployed, or to be deployed, on a server via a communication network, and ii) a parameter that indicates the electronic object, wherein the code for invoking the electronic object comprises a) code in a second programming language different than the first programming language, or b) code in a markup language interpretable by a web browser. The programmer input is evaluated to: i) generate the code for remotely invoking the electronic object deployed, or to be deployed, on the server, and ii) if the electronic object is not yet deployed on the server, deploy the electronic object on the server. The code for remotely invoking the electronic object is generated for inclusion in a file corresponding to a web page or a program written in the second programming language.

The present application discloses methods, systems, and computer program products for automatically generating source code implementing a regular expression. A regular expression that is defined within source code of an application project is identified. The source code uses a higher-level programming language. Based on identifying the regular expression, a source code implementation of the regular expression is automatically generated using the higher-level programming language, and the source code implementation of the regular expression is integrated into the application project. After integrating the source code implementation of the regular expression into the application project, the source code implementation of the regular expression is compiled into lower-level code and the lower-level code is emitted into an application executable when building the application project, or the source code implementation of the regular expression is interpreted when executing the application project.

Disclosed herein are system, method, and device embodiments for implementing a customizable animation experience. A multi-tenant service may associate an animation element with a visual component of an application, and generate a markup component including an animation parameter configured to customize the animation element within the application code. Further, the multi-tenant service may receive a request for the animation from an animation manager based on execution of the application code, and send the animation information to the animation manager. In some embodiments, the animation manager is configured to set the animation parameter to the animation information and present an animation associated with the animation element based on the animation parameter.

A method for enabling access to process data for a food production plant can include receiving, by a central server, properties of the food production plant from the control system, generating a data model based on the properties, said data model comprising data model properties, wherein the data model is control system type independent, transmitting the data model properties to an application programming interface (API), receiving adapted data model properties from the API, updating the data model based on the adapted data model properties, receiving, by the central server, plant design data from a plant design tool, generating an API based on the data model and the plant design data, and transmitting the API to a monitoring device, thereby providing for that the monitoring device is enabled to receive the process data from the food production plant.
