Abstract: According to aspects illustrated herein, a system, a method, and a machine-readable medium for designing business process applications is provided. The system includes: an application design interface and an object query language module. The application design interface provides an integrated development environment framework. The object query language module is operatively connected to the application design interface and a data source such that data flows between the application design interface and the data source.

Abstract: The present inventors have devised, among other things, an application design interface and related tools that facilitates development of business process applications.

Abstract: An improved system for precisely measuring temperatures at remote locations using a microprocessor and resistance temperature detectors is achieved by providing means for pre-selecting a particular temperature range and using this temperature range information to generate a comparison level for determining the measured temperature. By employing the present invention, the fixed number of bits used to produce the temperature information output is concentrated over a limited range of temperatures, thereby achieving greater precision, since each information bit represents a much smaller number.
