Abstract: Embodiments described herein provide for an apparatus for making ice. The apparatus includes a refrigeration system configured to provide chilled coolant to two or more evaporators. The two or more evaporators are configured to produce ice having a first set of characteristics and to produce ice having a second set of characteristics. The characteristics of the first set of characteristics and the characteristics of the second set of characteristics consist of geometry, volume, compressive strength, and clarity. At least one characteristic of the second set of characteristics is different in value than the corresponding characteristic in the first set of characteristics.

Abstract: Arrangement of a sensor for measuring the temperature of a medium in a motor vehicle. The sensor has a sensor body and two connecting wires. The first connecting wire and the major part of the sensor body is in direct contact with the medium. The second connecting wire is completely insulated from the medium.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for providing an anonymized value for a data element stored with an original value in a database of a database system, wherein the method comprises the following steps: (i) producing a supplementary data element for the data element stored in the database; (ii) determining the anonymized value of the data element from the original value on the basis of a mapping rule for ascertaining anonymized values that is stored in the database system, and storing the anonymized value in the supplementary data element; and (iii) linking the supplementary data element to the data element such that, based on the reception of an access command relating to the data element from a user connected to the database system, the supplementary data element is read and the anonymized value contained therein is transmitted to the user.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for providing an anonymized value for a data element stored with an original value in a database (11) of a database system (10), wherein the method comprises the following steps: (i) producing a supplementary data element for the data element stored in the database (11); (ii) determining the anonymized value of the data element from the original value on the basis of a mapping rule for ascertaining anonymized values that is stored in the database system (10), and storing the anonymized value in the supplementary data element; and (iii) linking the supplementary data element to the data element such that, based on the reception of an access command relating to the data element from a user connected to the database system, the supplementary data element is read and the anonymized value contained therein is transmitted to the user. In addition, the invention relates to a system that is suitable for performing the method and to a computer program.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and articles of manufacture of the present invention may involve a database for facilitating solution development or training. The database may comprise a scenario entity associated with at least one critical event, at least one of a work scope entity and a process entity associated with the scenario entity, and a core task entity associated with the at least one of the work scope entity and the process entity. The core task entity may correspond to at least one core task that facilitates solution development for the at least one critical event.

Abstract: Methods and systems in accordance with the present invention perform role analysis to assist organizations with the identification of emerging technical roles related to current and future business requirements. In one implementation, methods and systems in accordance with the present invention identify roles of an organization and map the identified roles to appropriate training so that personnel may efficiently develop skills needed to perform the identified roles. Since job roles vary worldwide with respect to responsibilities even within similar job titles, role analysis helps standardize the roles. While within a given job title there may be considerable variance, the various job roles hold in common certain technical “core tasks.” Role analysis methods and systems in accordance with the present invention evaluate and document the common core tasks that are needed to fulfill business requirements for an organization.
