In accordance with an example embodiment of the present invention, disclosed is a method and an apparatus thereof for handling a conflict resolution between storage requirements of multiple applications sharing the same data. A conflict resolution function resolves the conflicts in several steps and the result is either a coordinated merge of the different applications' storage requirements in multiple groups according to their needs and/or a controlled reduction of the relevance of some of the storage requirements for some applications.

A program development support device for supporting development of a safety program to be executed in a safety controller includes: a development module that develops the safety program in response to user operation; a calculation module that calculates an identification value according to data of the developed safety program, in accordance with a function for calculating a random value with respect to an input; and an output module that outputs a document related to the safety program. The output module provides the identification value calculated by the calculation module to all pages of the document which are related to the safety program.

A mainboard and a server are provided. The mainboard includes: a board body, a preset number of Purley platform central processors, and one or more memories. The preset number of Purley platform central processors and the one or more memories are installed on the board body. The Purley platform central processors are sequentially connected with each other, and each of the memories is connected to one of the Purley platform central processors. Each of the memories is configured to receive to-be-burned data inputted from outside and transmit the to-be-burned data to the Purley platform central processor connected with the memory. Each of the Purley platform central processors is configured to burn the to-be-burned data when receiving the to-be-burned data transmitted by the connected memory connected with the Purley platform central processor, to have a function corresponding to the to-be-burned data.

A method for modifying a program of an industrial automation component, wherein the program includes a plurality of program elements, where the program is structured in units, a unit includes a group of program elements and can include both published program elements having an interface that can be referenced by the program elements of other units and unpublished program elements, and where a checksum is calculated and is assigned to the unit using the interfaces, such that if at least one program element of the version of the unit stored in the engineering system is modified, then the modified checksum is compared with the previous checksum version present in the automation component, and only the modified unit is transferred if the checksums match such that consistency of the program is maintained and the software updateable more quickly.

Systems and methods of executing and/or provisioning an application in an application specific runtime environment or general runtime environment are disclosed. The application specific runtime environment or general runtime environment are optionally defined by an application environment specification to include a minimal or reduced set of software resources required for execution of the application. These software resources are optionally stored in a resource repository that includes resources associated with a plurality of operating systems and/or executable applications. Various embodiments of the invention include the development of hierarchical resource metadata configured to characterize the various files, packages and file families included in the resource repository. In some embodiments this metadata is used to select between files when provisioning an application specific runtime environment. Various embodiments of the invention include use of an exclusion list to manage conflicts between same named files.

Certain examples provide systems, methods, and apparatus for a content-based clinical information system. An example system includes a reference platform to define and provide core system capabilities and to interpret and execute content items while remaining application neutral. The example system includes a plurality of content items authored independent of the reference platform to define clinical functionality for one or more content-based clinical applications by leveraging the reference platform. In the example system, the plurality of content items is to be created and deployed independently of the creation and deployment of the one or more content-based clinical applications. The plurality of content items is to remain independent of the implementation of the reference platform to allow independent evolution of the platform and the one or more content-based clinical applications.

Techniques comprise receiving results from one or more configuration checks performed on one or more elements of an information processing system, wherein the results are received from a set of one or more interfaces of the information processing system and comprise an indication of detection of a configuration issue with at least a portion of the one or more elements of the information processing system. The method generates one or more remediation actions based on at least a portion of the received results, and then causes initiation of the one or more remediation actions within the information processing system at least in part through the set of one or more interfaces of the information processing system from which the results are received to effectuate remediation of the configuration issue with the portion of the one or more elements of the information processing system.

A computer-implemented method for a service framework to develop application services, including: providing at least one module of a module stack to a client; determining if the provided module has been modified by the client; determining dependency data, at least including information on the dependency of further modules of the module stack from the provided module; and providing the dependency data of the other modules of the module stack from the provided module.

An example system includes a memory store of aggregate definitions. Each aggregate definition specifies a key value, an output store, a feature, a half-life value, and an aggregate operation metric to apply to a cross of the feature and the half-life value to generate aggregate metrics. The system also includes an aggregation engine that generates aggregate feature records from the input source based on the aggregate definitions and stores the aggregate feature records in the output store. An aggregate feature record includes an aggregate of the metric for the feature decayed over time using the half-life. The system also includes a query service that identifies, using the aggregate definitions, responsive aggregate feature records that satisfy parameters of a received request, applies the half-life to the responsive feature records, and provides the responsive feature records to a requester, the requester using the responsive feature records as input for a neural network.

Various embodiments of the present technology generally relate to methods and systems for providing a flexible, updatable, and backward compatible programmable logic controller (“PLC”) and instruction set library. The instruction set library in the PLC can be updated without downtime of the PLC or the machines controlled by the PLC. The instruction set library is decoupled from the PLC firmware and bound via an API so that instructions in the executable code are bound to the firmware such that updates to the instruction set library can happen between scans of the executable without requiring the firmware be updated. Further, the instruction set library may be partitioned to limit updates and the amount of the complete instruction set library that is stored on the PLC to only those used by the PLC.
