  • Patent number: 10372421
    Abstract: In an example, a method for developing a customer system utilizing a preexisting cloud-computing platform is provided. The method may include defining a platform architecture for the customer system to be developed in terms of a plurality of architecture types—and their predefined architecture type unit. The method may include displaying an indicator of first and second indicators, the first and second indicators corresponding to confirmation of the platform architecture and non-confirmation of the platform architecture, respectively, based on information about a subset of deliverables corresponding to the architecture types.

  • Patent number: 10049337
    Abstract: An architecture for realizing a customer system on a cloud computing platform is defined in terms of a plurality of architecture types, each type (AT) defined by plural architecture type units (ATUs), each ATU comprising a set of ATU Details. The ATU Details are ordered into a series of discrete stages. Maturity of the architecture is determined as a single architecture pulse (AP) numeric value for each architecture type. The pulse reflects the extent to which the ATUs of the architecture type have reached a requisite level of quality, and an extent to which the ATUs are created in a sequence consistent with the series of discrete stages. The AP pulse values may be combined to form a single success platform pulse (SPP) for tracking overall condition of the platform architecture with a single numerical value.

  • Publication number: 20180110533
    Abstract: A system (1) comprises an aspiration catheter (2), which is guided by way of a guidewire (3) to a thrombotic point in a blood vessel. A collapsed infusion balloon (4) is located inside the aspiration catheter (2), which has an interior/inner volume (40) delimited by a wall (41), and a delivery catheter (42). The delivery catheter 42 is intended for delivering saline solution (salt solution) for rinsing or for delivering thrombolytic medication into the interior 40. The balloon comprises a plurality of openings which have a diameter between 10 ?m and 100 ?m in order to enable an atraumatic administration of fluid.

  • Publication number: 20180003290
    Abstract: A gear unit for a motor vehicle including an axially extending worm gear shaft, rotatable about a rotation axis, and cooperating with a worm gear wheel. The worm gear shaft supported, on one side of the worm gear wheel, through a first rotary bearing, on a housing and on the other side by of the worm gear wheel by a second rotary bearing loaded such that the worm gear shaft is pretensioned against the worm gear wheel. To optimize worm gear shaft and worm gear wheel engagement the first rotary bearing pivots or tilts relative to the housing, with deformation of at least one return element about a tilt axis perpendicular to the rotation axis. The return elements supporting the first rotary bearing on the housing in the axial and radial direction.

  • Publication number: 20170061348
    Abstract: In an example, a method for developing a customer system utilizing a preexisting cloud-computing platform is provided. The method may include defining a platform architecture for the customer system to be developed in terms of a plurality of architecture types—and their predefined architecture type units. The method may include generating structured information arranged to evaluate a staggered resource deployment associated with planning resources to be allocated before a development cycle of the customer system. The method may include evaluating a first prospective planning resource deployment of the staggered resource deployment using scope screen information of the generated structured information, and evaluating a second prospective planning resource deployment using capability information, after a time of deployment of a planning resource corresponding to the first prospective planning resource deployment.

  • Patent number: 9555573
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for making a container having an integral handle, comprising the steps of: a) providing a preform (1) in a mould cavity (2); b) stretch-blow moulding the preform (1) to form an intermediate container (3); c) applying one or more inwardly moving plugs (5) to form one or more concave gripping region(s), whilst maintaining the pressure within the intermediate container (3) above 1 bar and whilst the temperature of the material in the gripping region of the intermediate container is at a temperature below the glass transition temperature, Tg; d) releasing excess pressure within the container, preferably prior to withdrawing the plug (5) from within the container; and e) ejecting the finished container(6) from the mould cavity (2,4).
