Abstract: A computer-implemented method for configuring or controlling a device is provided. In addition, a computer program product, and a device are provided. The method comprises detecting, by the device, an event, generating serialized event data in response to the event, receiving the event data from the device, identifying, via an expression, at least one element of the event data, wherein the element indicates a state of the device, performing at least one operation on the element of event data, wherein the operation includes determining the state of the device, displaying a result of the operation, determining whether an indication of an error in the result is received, and when a determination is made that there is no error and the result indicates that the state of the device is a specified state, performing, by the device, a task.

Abstract: A device controllable via tabular data and a computer-implemented method for interactively performing operations on tabular data. The method comprises providing an input array, an operations array, and an output array, wherein each array includes at least one cell, receiving, in the operations array, a first reference to a cell of the input array, receiving tabular data from an input source, and performing operations on multiple rows of the tabular data. The operations comprise inserting one of the rows of the tabular data into the input array, determining a value of a second cell of the operations array based on the referenced cell of the input array, and storing one of the following in a cell of the output array: the determined value of the operations array and a value of the referenced cell of the input array.

Abstract: A modular construction system comprises sheet-like elements (1). The above comprise slots (2), the width of which is equal to or slightly greater than the thickness of the sheet-like elements (1). The slots (2) may be embodied as double slots. It is also possible to add horizontal floor elements.

Abstract: In a method for generating a stand-alone multi-user application from a user-defined spreadsheet logic, the user-defined spreadsheet logic is analyzed and at least one source code module is derived from the analyzed user-defined application logic. The resulting application runs independently from the original spreadsheet and offers functionality for integrating multiple users and multiple report entities over a network, such as the Internet.
