An automated software testing and validation system allows testing of a software application under test (SAUT) regardless of the dynamic nature of the SAUT. An abstracted set of hierarchal or linear objects model certain regions of the SAUT. Automated test scripts utilize theses regions to intuitively navigate and identify potions of the SAUT to automate. The scripts can also access specific SAUT elements contain within each defined region. These elements can then be used to invoke actions or verify outputs there from. The system uses a set of rich identification rules embodied in the system which allow the user to configure the identification of any element within the abstracted region. The rules are customizable to allow the user to configure the desired level of loose coupling between the automated scripts and the target element to adapt the scripts to the nature of the SAUT.

A method and apparatus are disclosed for programming software components that treats software components as the basic unit of abstraction and computation. A software component is encapsulated and classes and other program entities, such as data fields and methods, within a given component do not exist beyond a component boundary. A component interacts with other components only by means of a defined set of input and output ports. A component can inherit and implement ports declared in a template and can declare and implement new ports. A component can only access the external environment through its output ports. An output port of one component can only be connected to a conforming input port of another component. A connect statement is an explicit plumbing operation for connecting components together. Interactions between components are loosely coupled. A related set of templates can be grouped together to form a group. Groups are useful for implementing implicit invocation and multicasting.

The invention discloses a reference data access management method and device suitable for H.264 / AVC parallel encoding devices. The reference data access management device comprises a plurality of first-stage buffering units respectively connected with a coding core, the first-stage buffering units are connected to a second-stage buffering unit through a bus, and the second-stage buffering unit is further connected with an external storage device. Only when data accessed by the coding core does not exist in the first-stage buffering units and the second-stage buffering unit, the data are required to be obtained from the external storage device. According to the reference data access management method and device, the relativity of macro block multi-core parallel H.264 encoder to visit reference data can be sufficiently used, and the access amount of the external storage device to the reference data is sufficiently reduced. Repeated buffering block storage in each buffer memory is eliminated as much as possible, and the hardware cost of the reference data access management device is ultra low.

A high spectral purity microwave oscillator is provided. The Oscillator uses an air-dielectric cavity and employs the known carrier-suppression technique. In one embodiment, the oscillator employs a high-Q cavity to self-sustain an oscillating signal formed by feeding back into its input a power-amplified output signal of the cavity in which residual phase noise in the amplifier stages is suppressed. A bandpass filter selects the cavity mode. FIG. 1 illustrates this embodiment. Another embodiment suppresses the noise of a voltage-controlled oscillator whose frequency and power-amplified output interrogates the cavity mode. FIG. 2 illustrates this embodiment.

A primary winding and one or more secondary windings of the power transformer are wound on the center leg, and first and second windings of the drive transformer are wound on an outer leg. A primary control circuit controls one or more primary switches to supply the input voltage to the primary winding. A secondary control circuit controls secondary switches connected between the secondary windings and a load. Another control circuit controls operation the primary and secondary control circuits based at least in part on a feedback signal. The drive transformer windings are further configured to provide isolation between the primary control circuit and the synchronous rectifier control circuit.

A system and method that facilitate secure communication employing dialog session keys that can be shifted unilaterally is provided. A key exchange key can further be employed to encrypt and / or decrypt the dialog session keys that are used to encrypt and / or decrypt message(s) that form a dialog between services. For example, the key exchange key can be unique to a service pair, while a first dialog session key is unique to message(s) originated by a first service, and, a second dialog session key is unique to message(s) originated by a second service.The system allows the dialog session keys to be independently managed by each endpoint (e.g., service). This makes updating the dialog session key very easy and lightweight compared to other messaging systems, where both endpoints must agree on the updated session key. An endpoint can shift the dialog session key for message(s) it originates based on a dialog session key policy (e.g., time-based, upon receipt of a change in the second dialog session key, and / or receipt of shifts of shifts the second dialog session key more than a threshold quantity of times in a given time period).
