Abstract: According to one general aspect, a method may include replicating, to a software-as-a-service application, a plurality of pieces of master data from a physically remote master database. The method may also include converting the plurality of pieces of master data into one or more pieces of local data of the software-as-a-service application. The method may include changing one or more of either the pieces of master data or the pieces of local data. The method may further include synchronizing the changed pieces of either master data or local data between the remote master database and the software-as-a-service application.

Abstract: A device suitable for retrofitting in laid pipelines is intended to be able to be placed and fixed in place in the pipeline. Transport of the device to the installation location is intended to be performed using as little force as necessary, and the sealing element is intended to be displaced without contact and thus without wear. To this end, the device, in the interior of which a shut-off device (6) is disposed, is designed so that an offset, conically tapering region (10) is adjacent to a front cylindrical region (3) and is bounded by a stop collar (12) on which a connecting contour (7) for a coupling piece of a drive element is connected. A sliding piece (13) made of an expandable material is displaceably disposed in the axial direction on the conically tapering region (10), comprising a circumferential groove in which a spring-loaded clamping ring (15) is supported.

Abstract: An oxygen supply system is provided for generating oxygen from cabin air in an aircraft. The oxygen supply system exhibits a modular cabin unit with an oxygen port and a decentralized oxygen supply unit with an oxygen outlet, and the decentralized oxygen supply unit is set up in the modular cabin unit. The decentralized oxygen supply unit is set up to generate oxygen-enriched air from the cabin air by means of electrical power, and the oxygen-enriched air can be provided to the oxygen port of the modular cabin unit via the oxygen outlet.

Abstract: Extensions to an application programming framework, such as for example a database system, can allow individual parts of an application to be set to “read-only” during a lifecycle management event affecting the application programming framework. The application data for a newly deployed software version can thereby be adjusted without risk of inconsistencies due to parallel use by end-users. However, end-users can continue to work with the remaining application programming framework and even use certain parts of the application programming framework and underlying data in a “read-only” while these parts are currently under reconstruction as part of the lifecycle management event.

Abstract: A tenant multiplexer in an administrative tenant of a multi-tenant software architecture can call an administrative agent in the administrative tenant and receive, from the administrative agent, an action framework and a trusted connection protocol for accessing each of the plurality of client tenants. The trusted connection protocol can establish, without tenant-specific authentication information, a trusted system connection to an update agent in each of the plurality of client tenants. An action framework can be simultaneously implemented using the update agent of each of at least a subset of the plurality of client tenants under control of the multiplexer via the trusted system connection to begin execution of the software process for the at least the subset of client tenants.

Abstract: A heterogeneous information technology system in which compatible and incompatible client systems are able to dynamically access master data stored in a master database maintained by a master data server. An integration server communicates with the client systems and the master data server, and in response to a request for data from a client system, maps the master data in the master database to mapped data based on a set of mapping rules associated with the client system, and sends the mapped data to the client system.

Abstract: A business object model, which reflects data that is used during a given business transaction, is utilized to generate interfaces. This business object model facilitates commercial transactions by providing consistent interfaces that are suitable for use across industries, across businesses, and across different departments within a business during a business transaction. In some operations, software creates, updates, or otherwise processes information related to a communication system and/or an object identifier mapping business object.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus, including computer program products, for sharing information. The technique includes defining a stored data set maintained by a first entity to include a locked data set and an unlocked data set, and providing a second entity with access to the stored data set. The second entity has permission to view the locked data set and to change only the unlocked data set.

Abstract: Processing signals acquired during guided wave testing A method of processing signals acquired during guided wave testing of an elongate member (2), such as a pipe, in which at least one guided wave (7) is generated in the elongate member, the at least one guided wave is reflected by reflectors (8) in the elongate member and reflected guided waves (9) are detected. The method comprises determining at least one reflection coefficient or a parameter for calibrating a guide wave test in dependence upon reflections from the reflectors which include at least one multiple reflection. The reflections may include a single reflection from a first reflector, a single reflection from a second reflector and a multiple reflection from the first and second reflectors.

Abstract: Neutron scintillating materials are provided, including boron substitution scintillation materials, boron and Li substitution scintillation materials, and Gd-based substitution scintillation materials.

Abstract: Disclosed is a mechanism to process business object IDs in inbound and outbound processing.

Abstract: A gas flow monitor is provided, in which a defined range of the closing or nominal flow can be set without engaging functional elements. Furthermore, the original closing or nominal flow can be adjusted or amended, even outside the manufacturing plant. The gas flow monitor consists of a gas-tight housing (1) which comprises an inner valve seat (5) for a closing member (9) which is displaceable within the housing (1) and is guided in a sleeve (6) in a longitudinally displaceable manner by a pin (7) and is held in the open position against the flow direction by the force of a closing spring (11). The housing (1) is connected on the inlet side to a tubular insert (13), the inner contour (14) of which determines the flow profile up to the valve seat (5).

Abstract: A toilet monument is provided, in particular for a passenger transport vehicle, which includes, but is not limited to a receptacle that is configured to receive a mobile sanitary unit.
