Patent number: 9164776Abstract: A plurality of registrations corresponding to a user interface component can be stored. Based on at least one of a layer of a software architecture to which a specific user of a user interface has authorized access, an assignment of a work center view to the user, and business data, it can be determined that the user interface presented to the user should include a navigation target to the user interface component. At run time, a navigation link to the user interface component can be dynamically generated according to a relevant registration selected from the plurality of registrations. The user interface incorporating the navigation link to the user interface component can be displayed. Related systems, articles of manufacture, and computer-implemented methods are described.Type: GrantFiled: December 22, 2010Date of Patent: October 20, 2015Assignee: SAP AGInventors: Alexander Rauh, Lars Erbe, Thomas Gieselmann, Franz Mueller, Sri Vidhya Ambuga Nandakumar, Nina Tabitha Paul, Stefan Haffner, Vibhor Tomar, Holger Schmidt

Patent number: 8578278Abstract: Upon receiving a request for a user interface view from a user interface, a user identity and a user authorization class for a user of the user interface can be checked against a user registry and an authorization class registry, respectively. A user interface view component can be retrieved according to the user identity and the user authorization class. The user interface view can be generated by aggregating the retrieved user interface view component with at least one other user interface view component consistent with the user identity and user authorization class, and the generated user interface view can be returned for display to the user via the user interface. Related systems, articles of manufacture, and computer-implemented methods are described.Type: GrantFiled: December 22, 2010Date of Patent: November 5, 2013Assignee: SAP AGInventors: Alexander Rauh, Lars Erbe, Thomas Gieselmann, Franz Mueller, Sri Vidhyaan, Nina Tabitha Paul, Stefan Haffner, Vibhor Tomar, Holger Schmidt

Publication number: 20100088391Abstract: A request originating at a frontend server for data encapsulated in a plurality of business objects is received. The plurality of business objects are stored in a business object layer at the backend server remote from the frontend server. In addition, the request originates from a user interface layer is received at a controller layer. A controller object is instantiated in the controller layer at the backend server. Nodes of the controller object are mapped to nodes in the plurality of business objects so that the controller object encapsulates the request data. Thereafter, transmission of data response to the request encapsulated by the controller object to the frontend server is initiated. Related apparatus, systems, techniques and articles are also described.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 6, 2008Publication date: April 8, 2010Inventors: Frank Brunswig, Thomas Fiedler, Ioannis Grammatikakis, Oswald Gschnitzer, Martin Hartig, Manfred Hirsch, Frank Jentsch, Udo Klein, Franz Mueller, Guenter Pecht-Seibert, Ralf H.

Patent number: 7678280Abstract: A mobile apparatus and method for recycling an invert emulsion based drilling fluid, in which the invert emulsion based drilling fluid includes an oleaginous component and an aqueous component. The apparatus includes an emulsion breaking tank, a water treatment tank, a filter press, and hydrocarbon filters. The method includes: mixing said invert emulsion drilling fluid with a emulsion breaker, wherein the emulsion breaker is a mixture of an alkyl glucoside and an alkane sulfonate; and separating the oleaginous component of the invert emulsion drilling fluid from the aqueous component of the invert emulsion drilling fluid. The method preferably utilizes an emulsion breaker that is a combination of an anionic surfactant, a nonionic surfactant and an alkyl polyglycoside surfactant.Type: GrantFiled: March 23, 2009Date of Patent: March 16, 2010Assignee: M-I L.L.C.Inventor: Frank Manfred Franz Mueller
