Abstract: A power tool that includes a pipe holder, a knife pivotally coupled to the pipe holder, and a drive mechanism coupled to at least one of the pipe holder and the knife. The power tool also includes a motor coupled to a drive mechanism, and a removable and rechargeable battery pack coupled to the motor to selectively provide power signals to the motor. The power tool also includes a controller configured to monitor a plurality of conditions of the power tool, such as battery pack voltage, battery pack temperature, operational current, and the like. The controller is also configured to detect one or more events related to the plurality of conditions of the power tool. For example, the controller is configured to monitor the operational current of the power tool. If the operational current of the power tool exceeds a first threshold value, a power signal duty cycle is reduced from a first duty cycle value to a second duty cycle value to limit the amount of torque the power tool is able to generate.

Abstract: Traceability for an end product is enabled by a transition event type in an event-driven information traceability software that records unique product code associated with a product in a domain. One or more trigger rules are defined for generating a transition event associated with the product in response to the product crossing the domain into another domain. One or more actions are defined for generating a transition event associated with the product in response to the product crossing the domain into a different domain. The one or more actions include at least determining a new unique product code associated with the product in said another domain and storing the unique product code and the new unique product code in a data structure associated with the transition event.

Abstract: Irregular food manufacturing detection by using conversion pattern in one aspect generates one or more rules associated with amount of resources used to manufacture a food product, collects data associated with a selected manufacturing process of the food product at a selected manufacturer and determines whether the collected data complies with the generated one or more rules. Irregularity may be identified if the collected data does not comply with the generated one or more rules.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method for operating a business including operations to receive an enterprise model, define at least one new association between a first and a second business element in the enterprise model, federate a business analysis tool, and determine a business-related impact of the new association on other business elements in the enterprise model. The enterprise model is received at a model server and includes two or more business elements and a map of business components. The collection of business elements indicates associations between one or more business elements. The business analysis tools can filter the enterprise model and are federated by incorporating a business element generated from the business analysis tool into the enterprise model. The business-related impact is determined by using the business analysis tool.

Abstract: The present application discloses a method, apparatus and system for processing graphic objects in a flow diagram. Said method comprises obtaining a flow diagram and execution stage information generated when executing said flow diagram; obtaining a layout policy, wherein said layout policy at least designates the conditions for determining a primary path in the flow diagram using the execution stage information; determining the primary path using the execution stage information based on the layout policy; and displaying prominently said primary path during displaying said flow diagram. Owing to the present invention, the elements, such as a primary path, in a diagram in which a user takes interest can be found by the user easily to facilitate the user to understand the diagram. Furthermore, the diagram automatically arranged using the present invention is usually clear enough so that it is almost not required to be manually adjusted by the user.

Abstract: A method and an apparatus for providing inter-version document compatibility. The apparatus includes: a conversion stack which includes differentiation models between data models of different versions of an application; and a conversion module for converting between documents of different versions of the application by using the conversion stack, so as to provide compatibility between the documents of different versions of the application.

Abstract: Temperature of one or more business components are determined by determining temperatures for metrics associated with a business component using benchmark data. The determined temperatures for metrics are aggregated into a representative temperature for a business component using a selected algorithm. A spectrum of colors is provided to represent the range of temperatures and the representative temperature is represented as a color from the spectrum of colors.

Abstract: A solution for managing a business transformation is provided. The invention obtains an impact of a business solution for the business transformation on a business concern for an enterprise and relationship information for the business concern with one or more other business concerns and/or value (business) metrics. The impact of the business solution is propagated to a set of business concerns and/or value metrics based on the relationship information. The impact can include a time delay factor, which can be used during evaluation to perform numerous financial related metrics (e.g., return on investment). The relationship information and/or impact can be derived from empirical data using regression analysis or the like. In order to facilitate evaluation of the business transformation, various improved graphical interfaces can be generated that highlight the changes caused by the business transformation for use by a user.
