Abstract: A disclosed method of determining operating states of a fan uses a digital image of the fan and at least one operating parameter-specific algorithm. In a first stage, the method includes generating the digital image of the fan as a representation of the fan's properties, the representation based on one or more mathematical calculation models and optionally known data. The method further includes generating the at least one operating parameter-specific algorithm based on at least one of known relationships and characteristic curves, and calculating component states of the fan via the digital image, wherein the calculation of component states is based on virtual sensors. The method further includes generating a system behavior algorithm that calculates operating parameters of the fan based on the component states and optionally generates predictions relating to the operation of the fan.

Abstract: A method for processing at least one parameter of a trip or an event of a vehicle for a vehicle. The method includes at least one step of reading in, one step of mapping and one step of providing. In the step of reading in, a driving parameter signal is read in, which represents at least the parameter of the trip or of the event of the vehicle. In the step of mapping, the driving parameter signal is mapped by using a linear representation in order to obtain mapped driving parameter coefficients. In the step of providing, the mapped driving parameter coefficients are provided.

Abstract: Methods and systems are disclosed for generating, managing, and publishing documents based on document level objects and software level objects. In one aspect, a method is provided for managing documents in a computing system environment. The method includes identifying a placeholder object included in a document having a document level object, the placeholder object having metadata corresponding to a software level object. Software level object content is identified in response to a query message and is included within a response to the query message. A format of the software level object content included in the response is transformed into a second format based on a second set of constraints, and merged in the document based on the placeholder object. An output document may be generated such that the transformed software level object content replaces the placeholder object in the output document.

Abstract: Methods and systems consistent with certain aspects of the present invention may manage the generation, modification, and publication of documents. In one aspect, a computer-implemented method is disclosed for managing documents implemented in a business processing chain. The method may include receiving a request from a first computing entity to generate a document for electronic publication and determining, by a second computing entity, a first object to be included in the document. The method may also include analyzing, by the second computing entity, a first semantic primitive associated with the first object, the first semantic primitive reflecting a class describing a characteristic of the first object and being stored in a document definition associated with the document. Further, the method may include generating, by the second computing entity, a first document model based on a result of the analysis, wherein the first document model and document definition are used to publish the document.

Abstract: Methods and systems are disclosed for providing within edited shell documents contextual information associated with a referenced object. The methods and systems may receive a request from an author to insert a reference to a fragment object into a shell document reflecting content to be displayed and generate response data including a reference to the fragment object and a first property reflecting contextual information associated with the fragment object. The shell document may be modified by inserting the response data into the shell document. The methods and system may also render the modified shell document including the response data such that the response data conveys a user-ascertainable characteristic of the fragment object based on the first property.

Abstract: A document in a markup language containing text elements between first markers and second markers is created by: loading a master table containing formatting for a plurality of columns, the columns including a left-hand column containing the first markers, a right-hand column containing the second markers, and a central column; displaying the master table, receiving a user input in the central column; and removing the formatting while retaining the markers and the user input.
