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 an address snapshot and an approval process definition business object.

Abstract: The present disclosure describes methods, systems, and computer program products for providing a business process visibility resource model. One computer-implemented method includes receiving a request for process data from a client device, parsing the received request to determine a type of process data to return and to recover request parameters, determining the type of process data requested, accessing a process resource model and retrieving process data based upon the recovered request parameters, generating a response returning data in a format compliant with the type of process data requested, and transmitting the generated response data.

Abstract: Composite casting process for making castings, consisting in particular of light metal alloys reinforced by fiber or foamed material inserts, in particular motor parts such as pistons, cylinders, cylinder heads and motor blocks of internal combustion engines. In this process, firstly, a preform reinforced by the fiber or foamed material inserts is made by embedding and the penetration of a fiber bundle or a foamed material body in molten matrix metal or by a molten matrix metal and subsequently solidifying it. Then, the preform is immersed in a molten metal bath and subsequently inserted into a casting mould for integrally casting or casting around the final casting.

Abstract: A component subjected to zonally differential thermal stress for engines, machinery or other devices, in particular a component for combustion engines. In these components, in order to arrange more favourably the stress variation as a function of temperature in the thermally highly stressed parts or regions, so that the adjoining colder regions do not reduce or hinder its expansion, in the material of the component, for example a piston of a combustion engine, in the neighbourhood of the zones of higher thermal loading, at least one closed hollow chamber is provided which is completely filled with a substance which has a higher coefficient of thermal expansion than that of the material of the component surrouding the chamber.
