Abstract: A method for controlling a mouse pointer on at least two displays is provided. A virtual display layout defines a mutual relative positioning of display areas relating to the at least two displays. The method comprises creating the virtual display area and tracking a position of the mouse pointer within it. Upon the mouse pointer being positioned within an area of any of the display areas, the mouse pointer is displayed. Upon the mouse pointer being positioned outside the area of any of the display areas, but within the virtual display area, a first marker is displayed on a side border of the display in a direction the mouse pointer is positioned within the virtual display area, and a second marker is displayed on at least one other side border of another display in a direction the mouse pointer is positioned within the virtual display area.

Abstract: A lifting table including a platform having a polygonal contour and including an upper and a lower face, a lifting mechanism and a base. The lifting mechanism connected to the table top and including an actuator for raising and lowering the table top. The base configured for supporting the lifting mechanism. Two side members positioned along two adjoining sides of the table top and a switch element positioned below the upper face, wherein the side members are connected to the table top below the upper face allowing the side members to be moved between a first position, wherein the frame members are disengaged from the switch element and a second position where the side members activate the switch element, hereby preventing displacement of the table top relative to the base. Ends of the side members are arranged with a distance in between each other.

Abstract: A method for executing, in a distributed computing infrastructure (comprising a broker node and work nodes), a job workload having a requirement related to a resource. Test deployment comprises: executing a test workload observing the requirement and varying the resource; for each test workload execution, receiving a metric quantifying a response of the test node to the status of the resource. The broker node: performs the test deployment with the test workload being a measuring workload having the requirement, the test node being a first and second candidate node, and the metric respectively being a first and second metric; determines a cost impact function of the metric; respectively determines a minimum of a first and second total cost function determined from the first and second metric and the cost impact function; and causes an executing node selected from the candidate nodes based on the minima to execute the job workload.

Abstract: As disclosed herein, a method for applying a group cardinality constraint to a set of two or more input fields includes selecting a schema element corresponding to a set of two or more input elements, wherein the schema element comprises at least a data structure definition and a corresponding group construct, processing the group construct of the schema element to identify a data entry limitation corresponding to the set of two or more input elements, assigning a group cardinality constraint indicator to the identified data entry limitation, generating a set of two or more input fields corresponding to the set of two or more input elements, wherein each input field is annotated with the assigned group cardinality constraint indicator, and providing the generated set of two or more input fields to a user.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention disclose a method, computer program product, and system for an automated chat bot conversation session and an agent transfer system for the conversation session. The computer receives a user input from a user in an automated chat bot conversation session. The computer analyzes the user input for at least one sentiment, wherein an at least one analysis result is a value assigned to the at least one sentiment contained within the user input. The computer compares the at least one analysis result to a threshold value to determine if the user should be transferred from the automated chat bot conversation session to a conversation session with a suitable agent. The computer then transfers the user to the conversation session with the suitable agent.
