  • Patent number: 10077935
    Abstract: A shelf assembly for a refrigerator or freezer includes a receiving plate for receiving objects, a holding arrangement which is joined to the receiving plate to form a structural unit and by means of which the shelf assembly can be mounted in a cooling or freezing space of the refrigerator or freezer on delimiting walls of the cooling or freezing space, and an electrical consumer such as a lighting module. The holding arrangement has a holding element which is arranged in the region of a side edge of the receiving plate, extends along the side edge and is made at least in part of an electrically conducting metal material. The shelf assembly forms a power supply path via the metal material where the power supply path includes an electrically conducting element that extends into a cutout in the holding element and in electrically conducting contact with the holding element.

  • Publication number: 20170060878
    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.

  • Publication number: 20170002492
    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: 9524239
    Abstract: Software solutions in a business software framework can expose their data via web services, which can readily provide access to all non-customized fields of objects included as part of the default installation of the software solution. However, customer-added extensions, such as for example custom fields and the like, added to customize the software solution for a specific business or business use can be difficult to add to web services by a typical business user who lacks technical abilities. Described herein are approaches to enabling addition of custom fields to web services via an intuitive interface that does not require technical understanding of the software solution, the business software framework, web services, etc.

  • Publication number: 20160021532
    Abstract: A method for preventing fraud or misuse based on a risk scoring approach when using a service of a service provider requested by a user equipment includes: in connection with a first occurrence of providing the service, the service provider transmits a request message to a subscriber database, the request message being related to the MSISDN of the user equipment, and the request message requesting additional data related to the user equipment and/or the subscriber identity module; the service provider receives an answer message from the subscriber database, the answer message comprising the additional data; and in connection with a second occurrence of providing the service, an authentication information is transmitted between the service provider and the user equipment without transmitting a request message and a corresponding answer message.

  • Publication number: 20160019647
    Abstract: A computer system configured to evaluate a portfolio comprising instruments, comprising a computer memory configured to store, for each instrument, an instrument value for each portfolio scenario in an n-dimensional matrix, a first constraint and a second constraint; and a computer processor configured to transpose the n-dimensional matrix, to determine a first solution by maximizing the product of transpose of the n-dimensional matrix and the first constraint, determine whether the first solution is within an accepted range of an acceptable risk, if the expected first solution is not within an accepted range of an acceptable risk, process the second constraint with the first solution to obtain a second solution, and determine whether the second solution is within the accepted range of the acceptable risk.

  • Patent number: 9208212
    Abstract: A multi-tenant environment can support field extensibility via extension tables. An in-memory, columnar database can store a core table being extended as well as the corresponding extension table. Transactional and analytical processing can be performed on the extension fields. A business-objects-based system can take advantage of the technologies to provide greater flexibility, security, and performance improvements.

  • Patent number: 9038021
    Abstract: An extension naming approach for avoiding naming collisions in de-normalized view on a business object can include accessing a reference field bundle, which includes reference field(s) corresponding to a core business object defined in a core software platform of a software architecture, from a metadata repository. A user can define an extension to the business object based on the core business object, for example via a development environment. The reference field(s) can include a defined path from a node in a peripheral object to a corresponding node in the core business object. A unique and reproducible name for the extension field can be generated based on the reference field, and the extension field with the unique and reproducible name can be added to the business object and to a data model of the peripheral object.

  • Publication number: 20120088073
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method of producing a sound insulation molding with mass (2) and spring (3), wherein both mass (2) and spring (3) are produced on the basis of the same material, in particular polyurethane. For the formation of a mass, reaction substances and fillers are brought into a mold, in particular sprayed in or injected, and brought to reaction. The spraying in or injection is thereby controlled such that the reaction substances and the fillers are supplied in locally different quantity and/or composition into the mold, dependent upon the sound damping to be locally achieved together with the spring, which is then formed on the so-formed mass (2) in the same mold through formation of foam. Through this, with surfaces to be sound insulated which are of the same geometry, three-dimensional moldings (1) of the same geometry can be produced with both different acoustic and also mechanical behavior in predetermined series.
