  • Patent number: 11953253
    Abstract: An optoelectronic module for a light barrier for fill height monitoring of an ice collection container in a household ice maker includes a module housing, which bears a light passage surface located at the boundary between the optoelectronic module and the space outside the module for the passage of a beam of light of the light barrier. The module further has a printed circuit board accommodated in the module housing, an optoelectronic component mounted on the printed circuit board, serving as a light transmitter or receiver, with a main lobe axis, and a cylindrical light-guiding element for guidance of the light beam located in the beam path between the light passage surface and the optoelectronic component, and at a distance from the component.

  • Patent number: 11366658
    Abstract: The present disclosure involves systems, software, and computer implemented methods for ensuring seamless lifecycle stability for extensions to standard software products. One example method includes determining a requested change to a software feature of a software object. The software feature has been designated as an extensible software feature and is associated with a lifecycle stability contract that identifies aspects of the extensible software feature that are designated to remain stable across different releases of the software object. The lifecycle stability contract is used to perform a compatibility check for the requested change to determine whether the requested change complies with the lifecycle stability contract. The requested change is permitted in response to determining that the requested change complies with the lifecycle stability contract and the requested change is denied in response to determining that the requested change violates the lifecycle stability contract.

  • Patent number: 11204925
    Abstract: The present disclosure involves systems, software, and computer implemented methods for enabling data source extensions for individual customers of a cloud platform. One example method includes receiving an extension request, from a particular customer, to extend a data source used to populate an application output. A selection is received of at least one field to be included in a data source extension that extends the data source. Extensibility metadata is stored, in association with the particular customer, that defines the data source extension. The extensibility metadata identifies the data source, the particular customer, and the selected at least one field. A data request is received, from a client device of a user of the customer, for a field included in the data source extension. The data source extension is used to retrieve a field value for the field and the field value is provided in response to the data request.

  • Patent number: 10928057
    Abstract: A domestic cooling device has a cold chamber delimited by walls, and at least one lighting module fitted into a wall opening of a delimiting wall of the cold chamber. The lighting module includes a light outlet pane, a light source arrangement having at least one light-emitting diode, a reflector body which reflects light in the direction towards the light outlet pane, which light reflection surface is irradiated by each light-emitting diode of the light source arrangement, and a frame part which is produced separately from the reflector body and protrudes from the delimiting wall on the side thereof facing towards the cold chamber, which frame part forms a visible surface which extends all around the light outlet pane and is exposed towards the cold chamber. The frame part is a surface-coated plastics component which is held in place by engaging the underside of the light outlet pane.

  • Patent number: 10465323
    Abstract: An optical sensor includes a sensor housing having a through-opening that connects a housing interior and that has an opening longitudinal axis, a guide rod that is guided in an axially displaceable manner in the through-opening and that projects into the housing interior, and a reflective-surface carrier that is accommodated in the housing interior and that is motionally coupled to the guide rod and has a diffusely reflecting, reflective surface. The sensor also includes a light-emitting element and a light-receiving element, which are both disposed in a stationary manner relative to the sensor housing and are at a distance from the reflective surface that is dependent on the axial position of the reflective-surface carrier.

  • Patent number: 10417248
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a method stores extension logic for a business context for an application in a backend database system. The extension logic is stored with respect to a database table, business logic to handle transactions in the backend system, and an application programming interface to the application. A request for a custom field is received through a runtime version of the application, the custom field specifying a business context in which the custom field is associated. The method determines the extension logic associated with the business context in the backend database system. Further, the method uses the extension logic to extend the database table with the custom field, extend the business logic to handle transactions for the custom field in the backend system, and extend the application programming interface to the application. The custom field is extended during runtime of the application.
