Patent number: 8112747Abstract: The disclosure provides integrated software for supporting a distributed business application comprising computer readable instructions embodied on media. The integrated support software is operable to automatically monitor the distributed business application for potential incidents. It also facilitates continuous data exchange between the distributed business application and a remote support module based on the automatic monitoring, with the communications in a protocol associated with a plurality of services in the distributed business application and with a plurality of incidents for these services. Upon identification of a potential incident, the software provides integrated incident management in the distributed business application and provides software maintenance management to the distributed business application for one or more identified incidents.Type: GrantFiled: November 27, 2006Date of Patent: February 7, 2012Assignee: SAP AGInventors: Tilmann Haeberle, Lilia Kotchanovskaia, Thomas Schneider, Uta Prigge, Alexander Gerber, Sebastian Pulkowski, Jan Jansen, Dorothea Hoefler, Herbert Stegmueller, Karolin Laicher

Patent number: 7463447Abstract: A magnetic field sensor, including an insulating substrate and a conductive thin film deposited on the substrate. The thin film consists of a material having an extraordinary Hall coefficient, the thin film also has a resistivity and a film thickness no greater. than a threshold thickness at which the resistivity is substantially equal to 150% of a bulk resistivity of the material. The sensor also includes conductors coupled to the thin film for injecting a current into the film and measuring a voltage generated across the thin film responsive to the injected current. Devices having other types of thin films, including homogeneous and non-homogeneous films, the films having enhanced extraordinary Hall coefficients, are also provided.Type: GrantFiled: August 3, 2006Date of Patent: December 9, 2008Assignee: Ramot at Tel-Aviv University Ltd.Inventor: Alexander Gerber
