Abstract: The automated generation of a natural language explanation of what code does. The code is structured to perform tasks because the code itself semantically specifies that those tasks are to be performed. A task-centric representation of the code is automatically generated that includes a task representation of each of some or all of the tasks to be performed as specified by the code. Natural language utterances are then automatically generated by generating a corresponding natural language utterance that semantically describes in natural language the corresponding task represented by the corresponding task representation. Controls are rendered for each natural language utterance that each permit a user to edit the corresponding natural language utterance. After editing, the code itself may be automatically modified or regenerated to reflect the changed natural language utterances.

Abstract: A system for provenance aware editing for propagating edits back to spreadsheets is provided. The system receives an indication of an operation to be performed at an output location. The operation indicates one or more input locations on a spreadsheet that each provides an input value. The input values are accessed and tagged with their corresponding input location on the spreadsheet. Based on the operation and the input value from each of the one or more input locations, the system derives and displays the result at the output location. A user edit to the result is received at the output location, which causes transmission of a propagation request to change the input value at one or more of the tagged input locations. Using where-provenance associated with the tagged input locations, the system propagates the user edit to one or more of the tagged input locations.

In addition, the disclosure also comprises an inverted variant in which the seal is arranged in an annular groove in a lateral surface of a piston and lies sealingly against the cylinder running surface.

Abstract: A spreadsheet application displays a spreadsheet of cells in tabular form. User input is received specifying an input range of cells of the spreadsheet, a destination range of cells of the spreadsheet and a local modification. A memory stores a representation of the spreadsheet indicating formatting, values and formulas. An update of the representation is computed by applying the local modifications to the representation. Values of cells of the input range of the spreadsheet are calculated by using the updated representation and the calculated values are displayed at the destination range.

Abstract: A sealing element, e.g., a sealing ring, is adapted to seal between two component sections and to be compressed by the two component sections in a groove that is provided in one of the two component sections and having a groove opening and a groove bottom. The sealing element comprises a profile which, in the non-compressed state, comprises different profile heights and at least two outer surfaces. The profile is deformable in the compressed state such that it extends with at least one of its side sections into the groove opening (NÖ) and thereby possibly partially closes the groove opening.

Abstract: A method for manufacturing an exhaust gas converter and a tool for the method are provided. The method includes providing a cylindrical metal pipe and a cylindrical substrate surrounded in a circumferential direction by a mat mount. The substrate is deposited with the mat mount surrounding it inside the metal pipe. A compression force is exerted on the metal pipe, directed in a radial direction, for reducing the cross-section of the metal pipe to a desired size. Regions to which a compression force is applied alternate along the circumferential direction of the metal pipe with regions to which no compression force is applied. A number of regions where no compression force is applied to the metal pipe exceeds the number of tools used for applying the compression force. The tool (4), for a ring press, includes a tool body including a mounting section and a work section with recesses (45).

Abstract: A drinking vessel that has the capability to be stackable and which, by using regular water ice or dry ice, has the ability to maintain a cold temperature for the beverages while not diluting the potency of the liquid or diminishing the quality of the taste. The stackable aspect of the design allows the containers to be nestled within each other allowing for greater quantities of the vessels to be shipped at a single time. A sealable, removable bottom allows for the ice to be secured with the hollow chilling chamber. A handle, which may be formed into the vessel at the time of casting or may be attached after shipping, along with the base that is larger in diameter than the top because to the stacking feature, create the appearance of a traditional beer stein.

Abstract: The invention relates to a gear wheel pump with two meshing gear wheels which are rotatably mounted within a pump housing by means of a driven driveshaft and a crankshaft journal and which form a pumping channel system between a pump inlet and a pump outlet. Several gaps are formed between the pump housing, the gear wheels, the driveshaft, and the crankshaft journal. One of the gaps between the driveshaft and one of the gear wheels contains means for the rotationally fixed connection of the driveshaft to the gear wheel. In order to prevent leakages penetrating to the connecting means, according to the invention the gap between the driveshaft and the gear wheel is sealed, with respect to the front faces of the gear wheel, by means of a sealant.
