  • Measuring arrangement for measuring the total nitrogen bound in a measuring liquid
    Patent number: 12239974
    Abstract: Disclosed is a measuring arrangement for measuring the total nitrogen bound (TN) in a measuring liquid, comprising: a radiation source emitting UV radiation; a radiation receiver configured to generate a signal that depends on the intensity of radiation impinging on the radiation receiver; a vessel having a first opening and a second opening opposite the first opening; a first window closing the first opening; and a second window closing the second opening. The first and second windows are transparent to the measuring radiation. The measuring radiation emitted by the radiation source propagates along a measuring path which extends from the radiation source through the first window, the vessel, and the second window to the radiation receiver. The measuring arrangement also includes a heating element in thermal contact with the vessel wall.

  • TOC ANALYZER
    Publication number: 20240201057
    Abstract: The present disclosure discloses a TOC analyzer for determining a carbon content of a sample, comprising a reservoir vessel having a sample feed line and at least one sample removal line to a high-temperature furnace, a stirrer for stirring the sample in the reservoir vessel and at least one inlet for introducing CO2-free gas into the sample in the reservoir vessel. The high-temperature furnace vaporizes and/or oxidizes the introduced sample at a high temperature so as to form water vapor and carbon dioxide gas. An analysis unit determines the carbon content of the sample on the basis of the carbon dioxide gas produced from the vaporization and/or oxidation of the sample. A data processing unit which is designed at least to control the inflow and outflow of the sample from and into the reservoir vessel or the high-temperature furnace, and to determine the carbon content of the sample.

  • ARRANGEMENT, SWITCH, METHOD, COMPUTER SYSTEM, COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCT
    Publication number: 20240083474
    Abstract: An arrangement including a guide system and a carrier vehicle. The guide system includes a route guide extending along a path for the carrier vehicle. To provide a flexible and rapid material flow in a production, the guide system has vehicle guide elements on the carrier vehicle. The guide system further includes vehicle guide elements on the carrier vehicle. The guide system is configured in such a way that a guide function of the guide system limits the degree of freedom of the translational movability of the carrier vehicle during the interaction of the route guide with the vehicle guide elements apart from a limited movement play to a translational movability along the path. The guide function may be cancelled at least in portions along the path by a movability of the route guide out of a guide position and may be activated by a movability of the route guide into the guide position.

  • Financial reporting system integrating market segment attributes and accounting data
    Patent number: 10325276
    Abstract: Financial reporting methods and systems integrate profitability and accounting data. A universal journal entry allows user definition of relevant characteristics for a market segment. The entry appends the structure of a financial document to provide linkage to market segment characteristics. When creating the financial document including profit and loss (P&L) and balance account line items, a market segment is defined with determined characteristics stored in the line item on the basis of business process dependent rules. For example in posting information on a sales order item, sales order data may be read, and customer, product, and/or other sales order information input. Additional data can be derived on the basis of the determined master data, depending upon user needs. Embodiments allow enriched reporting (e.g., flexible market segment reporting) at the line item level, affording intuitive access to defined characteristics, e.g., drill-down into details of P&L and balance account information.

  • Business intelligence data reconciliation system
    Patent number: 7640273
    Abstract: A sending device sends a key and financial data to a receiver device and a reconciliation device in a business intelligence system. The receiver device verifies the key and sends the verified key and financial data to the business intelligence system. The reconciliation device selects the data sets based on the keys and thereupon compares the financial data. If the comparison reveals the data sets as being proper matches, the financial data is considered reconciled and can then be cleared. If not, the non-reconciled data in the data set may be archived for later reconciliation operations at future time intervals or may be resubmitted to the sending device for reevaluation. The inclusion of addition data and an interaction between various financial processing instruments allows for the reconciliation of business intelligence data in a business intelligence application/system.
