Abstract: A core system including different program components performing distinct tasks in a workflow sequence that are initiated through status field updates of objects in database may be modified to define a new status triggering additional processes in an action management system. Once the additional processes are completed, the status field may be changed to an original status provided by the core system to trigger a second program component in the workflow sequence. The action management system may contain user customized processes that may be modified and changed independent of the functionality provided by the core system.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus, including computer program products, for developing an application. The development includes the use of a data model (e.g., a metamodel represented using UML) from which an API is derived. The API can include features derived from customizable extensions within the data model.

Abstract: A drying balance is disclosed with a means (11) for supplying energy for the drying of material to be weighed located on the balance scale (6,16) and with a digital evaluating unit (23,24,25) for calculating the moisture content from the measured weight loss of the specimen and for determining the end point of the drying in which balance the digital evaluating unit (23,24,25) calculates the inflection point from the chronological course of the weight loss and derives the criterion for determining the final point therefrom. The criterion for the final point consists in that the slope of the drying curve drops below a certain value which is derived from the coordinates or the slope of the drying curve at the inflection point.
