  • Patent number: 9727044
    Abstract: A method for supporting a configuration of an interface is provided, wherein the configuration environment has an overview region that has several subregions. At least one item of information concerning a part of the configuration is displayed in each subregion. For each subregion, an item of information concerning the part of the configuration associated with the subregion is displayed. In the case of a warning and/or error message, a configuration option is displayed so as to be selectable, via which the warning/error message is resolved. The selection of the displayed configuration option causes a functionality to be started via which the displayed configuration option is made possible. In the case of a change in the status of a subregion, the display of the status and/or warning and/or error message and a configuration option derived therefrom in one subregion or several subregions is automatically updated and adapted to the changed status.

  • Patent number: 9643162
    Abstract: Nitro-compounds are hydrogenated with an activated Ni catalyst whose Ni/Al alloy also contained one or more elements from the list of Cu, Ag and Au prior to activation. In combination with the Group IB elements mentioned above, this catalyst can also be doped with other elements via their addition to the Ni/Al alloy prior to activation and/or they can be adsorbed onto the surface of the catalyst either during or after the activation of the alloy. The suitable doping elements for the alloy prior to activation in combination with the group IB elements mentioned above are one or more of the elements from the list of Mg, Ti, Ce, Cr, V, Mo, W, Mn, Re, Fe, Co, Tr, Ru, Rh, Pd, Pt and Bi. The suitable doping elements that may be adsorbed onto the surface of the catalyst that was previously doped in the alloy prior to activation with the group IB elements mentioned above are one or more elements from the list Mg, Ca, Ba, Ti, Ce, V, Cr, Mo, W, Mn, Re, Fe, Ru, Co, Rh, Ir, Pd, Pt, Ni, Cu, Ag, Au and Bi.

  • Publication number: 20170069450
    Abstract: A power relay for a vehicle is disclosed. The power relay has a housing formed by a connector base and a housing can set thereon, two connection bolts being inserted into the connector base for contacting a load circuit. The power relay further has a coil subassembly arranged in the housing and containing a solenoid coil and an armature. The armature is coupled by a force-transmission member to a contact bridge and can shift in the housing, under the effect of a magnetic field generated by the solenoid coil, in such a way that the contact bridge can be reversibly moved between a closing position, in which the contact bridge bridges the connection bolts in an electro conducting manner, and an opening position, in which the contact bridge is not in contact with the connection bolts. The housing can is configured as an injection-molded component made of plastic.

  • Patent number: 8838575
    Abstract: The present disclosure describes methods, systems, and computer program products for analyzing historic changes to business objects. One method includes monitoring at least one business object for a modification made to at least one business object node attribute. In response to a monitored modification associated with a particular business object node attribute, a new historical version of the at least one business object node attribute is prepared, the new historical version of the at least one business object node attribute including the modified business object node attribute value. A previous historical version of the at least one business object node attribute is retrieved and updated in response to the monitored modification. The new historical version of the at least one business object node attribute and the updated previous historical version of the at least one business object node attribute are then stored.
