  • Publication number: 20240095254
    Abstract: Systems and methods include presentation of a subset of a result set of items received from a remote system, reception of a command to perform an operation on all items of the result set while presenting the subset, and determination, in response to the command, of whether a total number of items in the result set exceeds a threshold value. If it is determined that the total number of items in the result set exceeds the threshold value, a first request is transmitted to the remote system to perform the operation on all items of the result set, where the first request includes filter values associated with the result set. If it is determined that the total number of items in the result set does not exceed the threshold value, a second request is transmitted to the remote system to perform the operation on all items of the result set, where the second request includes an identifier of each item of the result set.

  • Patent number: 11814113
    Abstract: An air deflection device of a motor vehicle includes an air deflection element and a displacement kinematic system. The air deflection element is displaceable by the displacement kinematic system from an extended deflection position, in which the air deflection element with a deflection surface in a front region of the air deflection element in a longitudinal direction of the motor vehicle diverts an airflow hitting the air deflection element in an underbody region in a forward direction of travel of the motor vehicle, into a retracted position. The air deflection element is displaceable by the displacement kinematic system rearwards in the longitudinal direction of the motor vehicle and upwards in a vertical direction of the motor vehicle and is pushable back in a direction of the retracted position in an event of an obstacle-related force component acting on the air deflection element in the longitudinal direction of the motor vehicle.

  • Publication number: 20230177023
    Abstract: In an example embodiment, a persistence model is utilized that allows the storage of value lists in a referenceable and reusable manner. This allows for two lifecycle options for value lists: (i) schema-dependent and (ii) schema-independent. Thus, the lifecycle of all involved entities (e.g., schemas, values, correspondences, etc.) is managed. This enables easier upgrades, downgrades, and sidegrades. The persistence is a directed graph, which comprises nodes and directed edges. This persistence can then be used to recommend additional correspondences to a user.
