Abstract: The invention relates to a medical instrument having an elongated shaft, a movable tool at a distal end of the shaft, a handle with a movable grip part at a proximal end of the shaft, and a force transmission element which can be moved in the longitudinal direction of the instrument and is operatively connected to the movable grip part and to the tool such that an actuation of the movable grip part is converted into a movement of the tool. The instrument has a spring assembly that is arranged on the handle and has at least one leg spring, which has at least one winding and two legs, and a pin, wherein the at least one winding extends about the pin. When the movable grip part is actuated, a force is applied to at least one of the legs of the leg spring, said force reducing the friction between the winding and the pin such that the leg spring can be rotated about the pin and the force transmission element and the tool can be moved.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for providing a natural, pen-and-paper user experience that harnesses cutting edge artificial intelligence and machine learning to enhance user interactions with data in a suite of software applications. The pen-and-paper user experience may mimic the time-honored human tradition of writing with pen and paper, allowing users to work in an intuitive, productive, familiar fashion, while incorporating artificial intelligence and machine learning techniques to interpret a user's natural language and other pen-strokes in order to better interpret a user's natural language and resolve ambiguity in user inputs. A pen-and-paper-based user experience may be extended and enhanced to allow a user to interact with a suite of applications, a launchpad, a key performance indicator tool, a digital boardroom, or other application using the same pen-and-paper-based design paradigm.

Abstract: A system, method, and computer program product embodiment related to a digital paper-based interaction to system data. An embodiment operates by receiving a written instruction from a user; analyzing the written instruction to determine a user intent and one or more parameters; retrieving a set of data from a data application; rendering a representation of the set of data in the user experience; receiving a second written instruction from the user in response to a condition in the representation of the set of data; deriving a conclusion based on the written instruction and the second written instruction; building a flow comprising a sequence of actions undertaken, by the user experience, in response to a user action; and adding the flow to a knowledge base.

Abstract: Rendering multi-dimensional data in a polyhedron, such as a cube, in a 3D environment allows for the ease of visualization of, and interaction with, the underlying data. The approaches herein allow for 3D manipulation of records within the underlying data by filtering the records across elements of a particular dimension. These records may be filtered by physically grabbing a ‘drawer’—a slice of data within the polyhedron—and removing the drawer to a separate space. That drawer then represents all of the underlying records filtered by that slice, and can be further manipulated by additional filtering, or by merging multiple drawers together.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, method, and device embodiments for implementing semantic discovery. An embodiment operates by retrieving a plurality of entities from a database instance. A semantic graph representation of the plurality of entities is generated within a graphical user interface. Context information is received from a user. A focus node is determined from the plurality of nodes using the context information. A semantic context of the focus node is determined, wherein the semantic context includes the focus node, a subset of the plurality of nodes, and subset of the plurality of edges. Responsive to the receiving, a visual indication of the semantic context is displayed within the graphical user interface.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for providing a natural, pen-and-paper user experience that harnesses cutting edge artificial intelligence and machine learning to enhance user interactions with data in a suite of software applications. The pen-and-paper user experience may mimic the time-honored human tradition of writing with pen and paper, allowing users to work in an intuitive, productive, familiar fashion. The user experience may automatically retrieve objects, e.g., data, charts, tables, graphs, etc. from backend systems and display the objects in the user experience. The user experience may allow users to provide additional natural language directly on or around the objects and update the displayed results accordingly.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for generating and adjusting graphs. An embodiment operates by a computer implemented method that includes evaluating, by at least one processor, data to be displayed on a chart, one or more parameters associated with the chart, and one or more parameters associated with a device on which the chart is to be displayed. The method further includes determining a design for the chart based on the evaluating. The design of the chart includes at least one of a number of data points on the chart, a number of focus points on the chart, a size of the chart, a color of the data points, a color of the focus points, an area associated with the chart, and a color of the area. The method further includes generating the chart based on the determined design and graphically displaying the chart.

Abstract: A process for producing a triglyceride mix free from components hampering further processing from a vegetable oil as a starting material, which is cooled and then separated into a predominantly solid and a predominantly liquid phase. The vegetable oil used as starting material is one in which a predetermined reactive fatty acid predominates in the fatty acid pattern with a content of at least about 80%. The cooling temperature of the cooling step is so adjusted that the particularly hard to solidify or readily soluble triglycerides in the starting material remain at least substantially liquid or in solution. In one embodiment, the solid phase obtained after the first separation step is then dissolved and cooled in a second cooling step to a temperature different from an initial temperature step at which the easier to solidify or less soluble triglycerides bearing less reactive groups separate out.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a process of producing symmetrically structured difatty acid diamines by reacting mixtures of fatty acids or their esters with diamines, isolating the symmetrical difatty acid diamides from the reaction mixture by making use of their different solubilities and concentrating them by recrystallisation if necessary. The invention also provides for a process of isolating a fatty acid from a mixture of fatty acids wherein the difatty acid diamides produced in the process of the invention are saponified to yield the corresponding free fatty acid.

Abstract: The present invention relates to plastics that can be obtained by reacting unsaturated and/or hydroxyl-group-containing fatty acids or their esters or mixtures of various such fatty acids and esters with bifunctional ester-forming and/or amide-forming compounds and, if necessary, subsequently converting ethylenic double bonds, to give difatty acid diamides, difatty acid diesters, difatty acid amide esters, monofatty acid amide amines or monofatty acid amide alcohols as monomer components which contain at least two reactive groups suited for linkage to give polymers, in particular ethylenic double bonds, hydroxyl groups, epoxy groups or amino groups, and by linking the said compounds in the known way via a second group of bifunctional compounds that are capable of reacting with these free reactive groups to give the desired plastics.
