Publication number: 20230219249Abstract: A system for processing food products comprises a slicing apparatus that is configured to cut off slices from food products and to form part portions having one or more slices in a portioning section. A transport device adjoining the portioning section is provided and the portioning section comprises a conveying device that transfers the part portions to the transport device. The system comprises a stacking apparatus that is configured to form a food portion comprising a plurality of part portions. The transport device is configured to transport the part portions onto a product support of the stacking apparatus, wherein the transport device and/or the stacking apparatus has/have a scale for measuring the weight of the part portions and/or of the food portion.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 20, 2022Publication date: July 13, 2023Inventors: Marvin SCHÄFER, Thorsten SCHNEIDER, Michael KNAUF, Julian NOLTE

Patent number: 11537552Abstract: A computer system, computer program product, and a computer-implemented method for supplementing a data governance framework with one or more new data governance technical rules is disclosed. The method comprises providing a plurality of expressions and a first mapping. The expressions assign natural language patterns to technical language patterns. The first mapping maps first terms to data sources. A rule generator receives a new natural language (NL) rule comprising one or more natural-language patterns and one or more first terms. The rule generator resolves the new NL rule into one or more new technical rules interpretable by a respective rule engine and stores the one or more technical rules in a rule repository.Type: GrantFiled: May 11, 2020Date of Patent: December 27, 2022Assignee: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Mike W.
