Abstract: An Application Program Interface (API) manages synchronization and replication of master data of a system with different consumers. An API engine is configured to receive from the third party, a query including content information and date-relevant information including a start date, an end date, and a date of last synchronization. The API engine processes the query to access the database and produce a query result replicating only data changes affecting that period or a previous time. The consumer thus specifies the time period in which to consider changes to the stored database data, and the API calculates the delta according to that period. In this manner complex, time-dependent delta calculation and filtering logic can be implemented in the API without requiring substantial logic or additional data persistence in middleware. Particular embodiments may facilitate efficient synchronized replication of employment data to outside (e.g., payroll, benefits) providers.

Abstract: A system, a method, and a computer program product for replication of data changes are disclosed. Based on a received data query, at least one attribute of stored data is identified for replication. The attribute corresponds to at least one parameter of the received query. Data stored at a first time and data stored at a second time are retrieved. The second time is subsequent to the first time. Data stored at the first time is compared to the data stored at the second time to determine a delta difference between the data stored at the first and second times. The computed delta difference is selected for the identified attribute. The selected computed delta difference is replicated in response to the received query.

Abstract: A system, a method, and a computer program product for detection and extraction of data are disclosed. A query containing a filtering parameter for extracting changed data from a plurality of resources is executed. Using the filtering parameter, first data in the plurality of resources is identified. Based on the identified first data, second data stored in the plurality of resources and associated with the identified first data is identified. The identified first data is contained in a first resource in the plurality of resources and the second data is contained in a second resource in the plurality of resources. Based on the filtering parameter, a determination is made whether at least one of the identified first data and the identified second data contain at least one change. At least one of the identified first data and the identified second data from the plurality of resources is retrieved.

Abstract: A business object model, which reflects data that is used during a given business transaction, is utilized to generate interfaces. This business object model facilitates commercial transactions by providing consistent interfaces that are suitable for use across industries, across businesses, and across different departments within a business during a business transaction. In some operations, software creates, updates, or otherwise processes information related to an address snapshot and an approval process definition business object.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for the interior metal-coating of glass tubes, with the metal-coated surface being a cylindrical shell. In accordance with the invention such a method comprises the following process steps: the glass tube is sealed off at either end; the glass tube is brought to a horizontal position: a sensitizer solution is introduced into the interior space of the glass tube in such a quantity that the interior space is only partly filled; the sensitizer solution is removed from the interior space after a certain dwell period; a mirror-coating solution is introduced into the interior space of the glass tube, with the entire interior surface of the glass tube being wetted by the mirror-coating solution; the used-up mirror-coating solution is removed from the interior space of the glass tube.

Abstract: A laser Doppler anemometer with at least two laser beams pass to a region of a fluid flow containing particles. The scattered light is frequency shifted by the Doppler frequency resulting from the flow speed. The construction is very compact and permits a high signal-to-noise ratio for the measurement signals. The laser beams consist of high-frequency pulses, the frequency of the pulse sequence of which is a multiple of the Doppler frequency.

Abstract: The subject matter of the invention is a technique which allows three components of the velocity of fluid flows to be measured simultaneously by means of methods based on the use of laser Doppler anemometry. In the present case an Argon-Ion laser serves as a light source for a conventional two-component system which produces with the blue line at 488 nm and with the green line at 515 nm two interference fringe patterns in the probe volume. The interference fringes are in this case oriented at a high angle to each other. The same Argon-Ion laser is used as a light source for pumping the dye laser which emits at a wavelength of approximately 600 nm. With this beam of light a third interference fringe system is generated which is also at a high angle with respect to the other two ones. The separation according to the three colors of the scattered light emanating from the probe volume is achieved by means of usual interference filters or colored filters.
